I'm willing to preserve the behavior of the old RssMacro as much as possible, except for the new syntax, of course. So, given the feed's URL, we check if it has an image or not. Then, we invoke the boxMacro, in which we pass as parameters the following: the title is the feed's title (i don't know whether there can be RSS feeds without a title, but in the assumption that there is no title, we don't place anything in this field), the image is the one we just picked before (if there is one, of course; if there isn't, we just don't put anything there). As for the body, for each article from our feed, we invoke again the boxMacro for building the "small boxes" in a similar manner, just like I described in the previous message.
For more details we can talk tomorrow when I get at the office. > >> title (which can be a static text or a link to a web location containing >> the full news article) > > This should be optional. > > Thanks > -Vincent As for the time needed for doing this job, I estimate that this will take about 2 days for implementing it (and another 2-3 days writing some tests for it) from the moment I get consent to start working, in the event that no other issues occur.
