Display RSS in a board?

[Hairy Scot]

I would like to embed a link to display a daily item from an RSS feed (http://fitbastats.com/rss/sff.rss).

Is this possible on Proboards?

Hi, Hairy Scot.

You would need to find an HTML widget online that displays the contents of an RSS feed, but once you do it's very easy to place that widget's HTML on your forum.

I have located a widget.

Just trying to figure out where to put the code.

Hi Brian,
I do indeed need more help.
What I would like to do is to copy the default home page and make adjustments to that, but I can't find a way to do that.
The second thing would be resizing and reshaping the HTML box to make it wider and not so deep.
Can you help with that?

UPDATE:-
Found an answer. "Container Plugin" lets me put the display in the page footer.

You can also use Structure > Headers & Footers to accomplish that, but glad you found a solution.

Hi Brian,

I've decided to go the Header/Footer route.
Works fine, but I have one issue:
I'd like the RSS container to be centred rather than left aligned.
I assume that setting will be in the HTML but I can't find it.
Can you help with that?
Here is the HTML for one of my widgets:-
<div id="widgetmain" style="text-align:left;overflow-y:auto;overflow-x:hidden;width:2000px;background-color:#FFFFFF; border:1px solid #333333;"><div id="rsswidget" style="height:800px;"><iframe src="http://us1.rssfeedwidget.com/getrss.php?time=1516580943075&amp;x=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.feedburner.com%2Fhistoryorb%2Ftodayinhistory&amp;w=2000&amp;h=800&amp;bc=333333&amp;bw=1&amp;bgc=FFFFFF&amp;m=20&amp;it=true&amp;t=(default)&amp;tc=333333&amp;ts=15&amp;tb=transparent&amp;il=true&amp;lc=0000FF&amp;ls=14&amp;lb=false&amp;id=true&amp;dc=333333&amp;ds=14&amp;idt=true&amp;dtc=284F2D&amp;dts=12" border="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" style="border:0; padding:0; margin:0; width:2000px; height:800px;" id="rssOutput" frameborder="no">Reading RSS Feed ...</iframe></div><div style="text-align:right;margin-bottom:0;border-top:1px solid #333333;" id="widgetbottom"><span style="font-size:70%"><a href="http://www.rssfeedwidget.com">rss feed widget</a>&nbsp;</span><br></div></div>

Thank you in advance.

Hairy Scot,

In your first line:

<div id="widgetmain" style="text-align:left;overflow-y:auto;overflow-x:hidden;width:2000px;

change left to center and see if that works.

Thanks.
I had tried that with both US and UK spellings but it made no difference.

I had been using the Prolassic V5 theme, however with the default theme it looks OK.
