REQUIREMENTS
* PHP 4 or greater with xml support
* MagpieRSS library.
INSTALLATION
First,
you will need to download a copy of the MagpieRSS library from <http://magpierss.sourceforge.net/>.
As of this Read Me, the current version is 0.71.1.
Its direct download link is <http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/magpierss/magpierss-0.71.1.tar.gz?download>.
Once the file is downloaded and decompressed, copy the files "rss_fetch.inc", "rss_parse.inc", "rss_cache.inc", and "rss_utils.inc", along with the folder "extlib", to the "magpierss" folder in the "scrollbox" folder.
Finally, upload the "scrollbox" folder to the main folder of your web server.
CREATING YOUR SCROLLBOX
You generate the code for a new scrollbox widget using the form at <http://widgets.cc/rss/scrollbox/new_scrollbox.php>.
When asked for the location of the scrollbox script enter <http://yourdomain/scrollbox/scrollbox.php>.
Don't forget to replace "yourdomain" with the domain name of your site.
CACHING
Rather then having to fetch the rss feed each time the scrollbox widget is loaded on your web site, the rss feed is instead cached on the server. Not only does this speed up the loading of the scrollbox, but it also prevents many sites from banning you for requesting the feed too frequently.
The cached feeds are stored in a folder named "cache" in the "scrollbox" folder. Normally, the cache folder is automatically created when needed. However, the folder may fail to be created if the web-server doesn't have enough privileges.
You can tell if the cache is working by looking in the "scrollbox" folder on your server.
If there is a folder named "cache" that has any files in it, then the cache is working. If not, you will need to create the folder yourself and ensure that your web-server has write access to the folder. Since the procedure for this can vary from one host to another, you may need to contact your hosting provider for help in doing this.
