Source

 * Fixed typo in extension credits.
 * 2007-01-25
 * Changed back to "$feed->items" per magpierss 0.72 documentation. I'm not sure what the mentioned php error was, but the change is what was causing the blank page problems.
 * Added parserhook credits

 * 2006-09-11 - Changed "$feed->items" to "$feedItems" because that's what it's supposed to be (Fixes a php error.)
 * Also changed the place that magpie is grabed from to be the includes or current directory, because that's the recomended location. Dantman


 * 2006-08-30 - Changed html output method - Thanks Mark F.

Known Issues

 * several feed item data formats are not parsed correctly, which causes only the last one to be added.
 * I've seen this before with date formats, but haven't had to fix them yet. Brill 06:33, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
