Topic: Help removing rss diplay box from my homepage

[Ian.]

On my homepage is a yellow box https://www.chatteris.biz/ which used to display a met office weather warning rss feed -https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/data/PWSCache/WarningsRSS/Region/ee, unfortunately,  the rss used scripts from DynamicDrive and Simplepie both of which are no longer around and the log indicates a fatal error.

My problem is that is I comment out the script on index.php, the saratoga template fails to load, I've tried lots of permutations but I'm stuck:

<!-- Begin of Weather Alert Feed Announcement script -->
<div class="advisoryBox">
<script type="text/javascript">
var showmet1=new rssdisplaybox("met1", "met1id", "someclass")
showmet1.set_items_shown (10) //show 10 entries from feed
showmet1.start() //Required: start script
</script>
<!-- End of Weather Alert Feed Announcement script -->

Any one show some Christmas cheer and help me out please

if you were using meteoalarm i would have said change settings.php around line 250 usemeteoalarm from true to false but as your index file has a lot of added code but do notice the original meteoalarm section has been removed not just commented out
all i can suggest is to put this

Code: [Select]

<?php 
if(isset($SITE[&#39;useMeteoalarm&#39;]) and $SITE[&#39;useMeteoalarm&#39;]
   and file_exists(&#39;get-meteoalarm-warning-inc.php&#39;)) {
    include_once("get-meteoalarm-warning-inc.php"); // Use the EU Meteoalarm warning
if(file_exists($warn_summary)) {
readfile($warn_summary);
}
}
?>
in between the two meteoalarm lines and change settings to false

Hi, I deleted the meteoalarm from the index.php a while ago but left its placeholder (not sure why!), anyway, the yellow box I'm trying to get rid off is caused by something other than meteoalarm, I think its the rss display as if I change the rss folder name, the yellow box expands to display a 'not found' message.

I did however try the code you kindly posted, but my site wouldn't then open.
