Note, finishing up patch of source file for nexus 1.4.1 compatibility.

Which has been uploaded.
This Version also adds a good number of vital language strings for inline block help, as well as a package $r['image'] that provides the full url to the image, rather than $r['p_image'] which is only the filename.
Until I can sort a different method, the PRIMARY package image is what is available here.

Never Mind I figured it out, crap simple html, no css needed

Hey Bob

I have this working but want to know how to scale the images down to a respectable say 80x80 pix? Essentialy I changed the template to look like below, but adding thr img src= to fit right where i wish. I know CSS is going to be my Key, So I will as, Will I need to add a new CSS tag for what I want to do, if so what CSS would it be in nexus

<div class='general_box'>

<h3>{$title}</h3>

<ul class='hfeed'>

  <if test="is_array( $records ) && count( $records )">

  {parse striping="feed_striping" classes="row1,row2 altrow"}

  <foreach loop="$records as $r">

  <li class='hentry {parse striping="feed_striping"}'><a href='{$r['url']}' rel='bookmark' title='{$r['title']}'><b>{$r['title']}</B></a>

   <br /><span class='date'><abbr class="published" title="{parse expression="date( 'c', $r['date'] )"}">{parse date="$r['date']" format="short"}</abbr></span>

   <img src='{$this->settings['upload_url']}/{$r['p_image']}' /><span class='desctext'><i>{IPSText::truncate( strip_tags($r['content']), 320 )}</i></span>

  </li>

  </foreach>

  </if>

</ul>

</div>

<br />

get on skype
in honesty, i think we should set you up timthumb... css seems... meh, tbh.... squishing it isnt the answer, which is what css does basically.

also.

$r['image'] = $this->settings['upload_url'].'/'.$r['p_image'];

added that this last run, its on block help top.... adds it for you just for ease.
basically you can use {$r['image']} instead of the 2 strung together like that.

OK, I now have an Idea formated correct now that I have the images and thumbs working. Tables to correctly format the Product as seen below, Imagine the black the table border. The Image is a merge as well as the blah blah sections. How would I add that table into your template to get that effect? You can somewhat see the start of it here
http://www.usa-synth.../index.php/test What do you think Just updated the test page. But I dont know where the --- is coming from

Here is the semi Final code changes I made, Feel free to clean this up and use it of you want bob. I am a hack so I know there is probably a far better way to do this

<div class='general_box'>

<h3>{$title}</h3>

<ul class='hfeed'>

  <if test="is_array( $records ) && count( $records )">

  {parse striping="feed_striping" classes="row1,row2 altrow"}

  <foreach loop="$records as $r">

  <font size=2 color="#000000" face="Arial">

<div><table width="90%" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" bgcolor="#ffffff">

<tr valign="top">

<td colspan=2><font size=2 color="#000000" face="Arial">

<div><li class='hentry {parse striping="feed_striping"}'><a href='{$r['url']}' rel='bookmark' title='{$r['title']}'>{$r['title']}</a>

   <br /><span class='date'><abbr class="published" title="{parse expression="date( 'c', $r['date'] )"}">{parse date="$r['date']" format="short"}</abbr></span></div>

  </font>

</td>

</tr>

<tr valign="top">

<td width="73"><font size=2 color="#000000" face="Arial">

   <div><center><img src='{$this->settings['upload_url']}/{$r['p_image']}' height="80" width="80" /></center></div>

</font>

</td>

<td width="394"><font size=2 color="#000000" face="Arial">

<div><span class='desctext'>{IPSText::truncate( strip_tags($r['content']), 320 )}</span></div>

</font>

</td>

</tr>

</table>

</div>

</font>

    </li>

</foreach>

  </if>

</ul>

</div>

<br />

<div class='general_box'>

<h3>{$title}</h3>

<ul class='hfeed'>

  <if test="is_array( $records ) && count( $records )">

  {parse striping="feed_striping" classes="row1,row2 altrow"}

  <foreach loop="$records as $r">

<li class='hentry {parse striping="feed_striping"} clearfix'>

<a href='{$r['url']}' rel='bookmark' title='{$r['title']}' class='ipsUserPhotoLink left'>

<img src='{$this->settings['upload_url']}/{$r['p_image']}' class='ipsPad_half ipsUserPhoto_large' />

</a>

<span class='desctext left'>

<a href='{$r['url']}' rel='bookmark' title='{$r['title']}'>{$r['title']}</a>

<br>

{IPSText::truncate( strip_tags($r['p_desc']), 320 )}

</span>

</li>

</foreach>

  </if>

</ul>

</div>

<br />

... the --- was from the date... no such thing as "date" on nexus packages.
... cleaned out the "tables" as well... cant truncate parsed html, which is what $r['content'] is, thats dangerous, using $r['p_desc'] instead which is raw.

I literally JUST patched a filter yes/no selection bug... simply re-upload the source file over the old for the patch.

I am completely uncertain to compatibility... very pleased its finally being core... but as of 2.3 IPC this file is redundant.

First of all..... That is not my code, that is the stock IP.Content Feed now and not anything in this download, this block source is for IPC 2.2.x- before Nexus Feeds were stock.
secondly... http://community.invisionpower.com/tracker/issue-36484-neus-feed-block-package-type-driver-error/

Geez Dude, you need a vacation, you sound a tad snippy

I assumed it had something to do with Nexus Feed Block Languages by Marcher Technologies

Forgive my ignorance

...I do at some point... I apologize... its kind of irritating being pointed at as a culprit for a bug I did not code, found, and debugged to a usable resolution.
Oh... and you should uninstall that hook.... its really not doing anything now... literally.

hello marcher
Does this hook/blocks will work with new IP.Board 3.3?

No, It is stock feed source now.... I May find the time to push out some nexus templates, but it would not be released as this mod, nor will this be updated now that nexus feeds are core IPC.
