Hello JonnyBDead. Yes that is the official support site. If you do not receive a good answer in a timely manner over there let me know and I will be happy to help. But I will need to know what MKPortal version you are using and whether you are using the SimplePie feed reader or the old MKPortal reader.

I'm using MKPortal M1.1.1 and the MKPortal RSS Reader included.
This SimplePie RSS Feeder sounds like something i could try?

I integrated SimplePie RSS in version C1.2.It is more full featured but may not work on all servers.

The old MKPortal RSS parser has many problems and may not display all feeds. But it is stillused by many people.

To modify the display of the RSS block look in mkportal/blocks/rss.php.

To change the heading font size in M1.1.1:

FIND:

		$content .= "<b><a href=\"".$regs[2][0]."\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"uno\" ><span style=\"font-size:11pt;\">".$regs[1][0]."</span></a></b><br /><i>".$regs[3][0]."</i><br /><br />";

Edit the formatting however you like. For example...

		$content .= "<h1><a href=\"".$regs[2][0]."\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"uno\" >".$regs[1][0]."</a></h1><h3>".$regs[3][0]."</h3>";

Do something similar with this line also...

		$content .= "<b><a href=\"".$matches[2]."\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"uno\" >".rss_clean_entry($matches[1])."</a></b><br />";

To remove the description in M1.1.1:

FIND:

		if ($mklib->config['rss_desc']) {
			preg_match("|<description>(.*)</description>|Uism",$items[1][$i], $matches);
			if (count($matches)) {
				$desc = rss_clean_entry($matches[1]);
				if (strlen($desc) > $mklib->config['rss_desc_length']) {
					$desc = substr($desc, 0, $mklib->config['rss_desc_length']);
					$desc = substr($desc, 0, strrpos($desc, " " ));
					$desc .= " ...";
				}
				$content .= $desc."<br /><br />\n";
			}
		}

Comment out like this...

/*
		if ($mklib->config['rss_desc']) {
			preg_match("|<description>(.*)</description>|Uism",$items[1][$i], $matches);
			if (count($matches)) {
				$desc = rss_clean_entry($matches[1]);
				if (strlen($desc) > $mklib->config['rss_desc_length']) {
					$desc = substr($desc, 0, $mklib->config['rss_desc_length']);
					$desc = substr($desc, 0, strrpos($desc, " " ));
					$desc .= " ...";
				}
				$content .= $desc."<br /><br />\n";
			}
		}
*/

Let me know if that's what you need.

You should be able to simply comment out this line like so...

//$content .= "<div class=\"tdblock\">".rss_clean_html($mklib->create_date(time(), "long"))."<br /><br /></div>\n";

However I have not tested these modifications since I haven't had M1.1.1 installed anywhere for a long time.
