    hi
    You can duplicate the posh rss feeds widget, add pwspecif=mywid, copy portal/xmlfeeds.php as portal/xmlfeeds_mywid.php
    then modify the xmlfeeds_mywid.php to set the selection of the rss feed as a drop down list build from your database.

    ok so I duplicated the feed widget, add pwspecif to the param and created a personalized portal/xmlfeeds_blabla.php. However, it does not seem to load the proper page.(I echo some string in php without anything echoing) When looking in the code, I cant see where is th mywid param loaded, is it with a _ before or not?
    thanks for the help

    in your example, pwspecif=blabla
    Opening your widget, you need to check (using network tab in firebug) that xmlfeeds_blabla.php is called

    indeed xmlfeeds_blabla.php is not loaded by ../modules/p_rss.php?nb=5&pwspecif=papeers
    nor xmlfeedsmulti.php is loaded by ../modules/p_rss.php?nb=5&pwspecif=multi.
    Actually, I don t see in the code of p_rss.php any readout of the variable $_REQUEST["pwspecif"]), could you please be more specific on how this should work?
    Even if I try directly to load the url of the module directly, the authorisation doesn t seem to be working.
    Thanks again, your software rocks !

    ok got it to work, I used directly the link to the module file and used queries with DB->getresults and %u in the request to avoid injection...

    Last question, can I include jquery in the head script? seems to be conflicting with other functions, any idea why?
    tks

    Posh is using Mootools js framework. You should find on Google solutions to have both fw working together

    Cheers
