Hiy there,
Ive picked up on a previous thread and like the mailer below Ive seen
reference to the "RSS Content" Building Block and would like to get it
working. Ive downloaded the version linked to below: rsscontent_0.3.8.war.
However I'm getting error messages. We're on version 7.2 of Blackboard.
Has anyone got this Building Block working for this version of Blackboard??
Thanks for your help, Trish

Hi Jo,
"RSS Content" is a freeware building block handling this that's quite
widely used. It's not on Blackboard's catalogue - the author tends to
distribute versions via the U.S. open-source email list. See attached
for the download link.

Just an FYI to the group...
The RSS Content building block written by the University of Cincinnati
(and no longer supported) broke when we upgraded to v7 of Blackboard. I
made a minor modification to fix it. I've made this building block
available for download. I do not support it, but just thought I would
give this updated version back to the group since this is where we got
it in the first place. It should be backwards compatible with 6.x even
with my fix, but I have no way to test and verify.
