Talk:Template Item

All comments in the source say it is general public so I presume there is no issue with me showing how to locate the source code.

Why, I was looking at the code is because I would like the option to display more fields. I don't understand the style templates well, but when looking at the code it didn't look like it was possible to make it so you could display more fields simply by uploading a custom style sheet.

I know that RSS feeds generally follow a standard format but with some mashers (e.g. Yahoo Pipes) you can create what ever fields you would like and therefore it would be nice (if desired by the user) to be able to display some custom fields that may have been added to the feeds.

As an example, I have been trying to use RSS feeds to spend less time checking forums for new information and more time actualy reading content. Unfortunately, even though I request feeds at these forms the admins may not install them. This is okay, because I can use Yahoo Pipes to parse the web pages into an RSS feed. For instance I created the following pipe:

http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=yADaHmJ_3hGcbNSfqevxTA http://discuss.pipes.yahoo.com/Message_Boards_for_Pipes/threadview?m=tm&bn=pip-DeveloperHelp&tid=9857&mid=9857&tof=3&frt=2

To parse the new posts at http://thepeacearch.com/ into an rss feed. Currently, I use, the first post as the description, but maybe I don't want to do this. Maybe, in my description, I might just put the website it came from, and the subforum, it belongs to. Then, I might create two custom separate fields for the first and last post.

On another note, does anyone know if I can use winRar to edit the jar file so I can make changes to the plugin, without having to figure out how to setup the firefox environment and how to build some kind of install package?
