<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><span style='color:#1F497D'>Pat I
think that’s missing the point a bit – If someone creates an LO
which contains an rss page and previews that with either XOT or locally the rss
page will work but if they then export and upload the LO to a vle the rss page
won’t work unless as you say the external server has a crossdomain file.
The latter isn’t really controllable so is there not a way that the code
could be adapted to make use of an rss_proxy.php file where the template has a
text field to enter the path of that file? E.g. another if statement that
detects if a path has been entered in the field and if so uses that path
instead?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
