Re: [Hypercontent-users] News/RSS

[Carl B. <C.P...@hu...>]

Hi  Alex

Thats exactly what I want to do here.  I'd like to take a look at how 
you set it up so the JA-SIG home page project would be great as a 
starting point. I take it this in HC 2?  I actually need to move the 
JA-SIG -UK (http://www.ja-sig.org.uk/) site into Hypercontent  over the 
next few weeks.

On another note,   the LDAP login module seems to plug in very easilly,  
I'm just having a few problems with some settings at this end.  I'm 
waiting for someone to get back to me on that.  I'll let you know how 
things go as soon as I have it running.

Cheers
Carl
