Topic: Simple Mod: RSS Feed only on index.php

hi all.  i'm sure somebody has already done this, and probably better, but for amusement today i put together a very simple rss reader.  it displays the feed only on your front page of punbb and not on the other pages.  i just copied an idea mentioned in another forum and followed the instructions at http://simplepie.org/

it's not a module, just a modification.  if you want to play with it feel free.
PunRSS.

p.s.  -  PunBB is a great forum for a budding programmer to cut his teath on making mods.  thanks guys for a really cool discussion board.

awesome.  i'm glad to contribute, even in this small way.

it looks a little different on your site.  i see you're using some other mods.  did you change the rss mod any?  please let us know if you did.  it looks good on your site!

Re: Simple Mod: RSS Feed only on index.php

i just noticed two problems.
1.  my text editor chad the default encoding of utf-8.  so i went through the files and saved them as iso-8859-1.
2.  simplepie is putting out utf-8 (may be because of the rss feed i'm using, not sure).  so i'm getting errors at validator.w3.org like,

Character Encoding mismatch!
    The character encoding specified in the HTTP header (utf-8) is different from the value in the <meta> element (iso-8859-1). I will use the value from the HTTP header (utf-8) for this validation.

you may notice similar errors.  hopefully i will think of or somebody will suggest a way to fix this.
