FAQ, Frequently Asked Questions



A bookmark link?
A bookmark link is possible, enter '[GLOB_BOOKMARK]' somewhere (for example in a box or page) and a bookmark link will appear. A extra action is required though: go to Tags in the menu and add a tag called 'BOOKMARKTITLE', enter your feedlist title in the Content field. Also add a tag called 'BOOKMARKURL' and enter your feedlist url in the Content field. Now you have a fully functional bookmark link. (don't use any enters in the Content field)
Are there disadvantages when using Publish to FTP?
Almost not, almost everything will work as it will work when we host your feedlist. The following options might not work as espected when you publish your feedlist to your own server:
- "RSS items are marked as new when they are added in the last X hours"

Please note: that they do work, but not as quite precise.
Can i change the background color of a column?
Yes you can, but you have to use a bit CSS. Go to Templates > "7. Extra" > and enter the following css code in the "Extra CSS codes" field:

#col_2{
background-color: #FFF0CF;
}

If you want a border around column 2:

#col_2{
background-color: #FFF0CF;
border: 1px solid #909071;
}

If you want a larger space around column 2:

#col_2{
background-color: #FFF0CF;
border: 1px solid #909071;
margin: 5px;
}

If you don't want to change column 2 but column 3 replace "#col_2" with "#col_3" or "#col_4" for column 4.

There is a alternative to topbar advertisement: advertisement in a small box on the top left or top right position of your feedlist. This "advertisement box" will not be visible on other pages.

Please enable the option "Don't display topbar advertisement but display advertisement in a box at the top right of my feedlist." to remove the topbar and add the advertisement box.
