General plugins

Hi Shaun! 

You, Sir, have redefined the humble RSS into a state-of-the-art RSS for Moodle. I'm in the process of creating a post on Moodlenews.com about your wonderful RSS block.

As a teaser, here is a Youtube video I created showing off the RSS Plus block in action on my Moodle production site. 

BTW, I've improved on it slightly by adding a vertical scrollbar to combat the Scroll Of Death.

Hi Shaun

Any plans to retro-fit the block for (gasp!) Moodle 1.9? I'm still a faithful fan of Moodle 1.9, although it's Moodle 2.2 new features like your block that's making it more tempting for me to move to make a change to Moodle 2.x.

If you already have your plate full with other work, I am willing to give it s try. However, may I ask:

• how difficult would it be to modify the block for Moodle 1.9 database PHP code to work, and  
• how much work would that involve
• where should / could I start (which portion of the code needs to be changed, which portions remain untouched in the conversion process) ?

Thanks for your attention
