    From Bill McGarrity@VERT/TEQUILAM to echicken on Sun Feb 5 13:57:06 2017
    Hiya echicken...

    Quick question...

    Background....

    Two different subs in two different FTN networks. One RSS feed that is tempermental on connects.

    Question...

    Is it possible, rather than having two seperate entries for each sub..
    combine the two different subs, seperated by a comma on one line to import
    into both subs with just one connect?

    Thanks...

    Should be possible. I'll take a look at this soon.

    sub.. combine the two different subs, seperated by a comma on one
    line to import into both subs with just one connect?

    exec/web_feed_importer.js has been updated. You can now have 'special' entries in the [feeds] section of modopts.ini that will indicate a crossposted feed. These entries must begin with '_crosspost' and should each have a unique name:

    _crosspost1 = http://my-feed/rss.xml,rss,general,dove-gen

    The above would import the feed at 'http://my-feed/rss.xml' to the subs with the internal codes 'rss', 'general', and 'dove-gen'. It's a bit ugly, but I tried a few things and this ended up being the best of the bunch.

    Let me know if it works for you; tests were successful here.

    Easy enough!!

    I've made the changes and will let you know.

    Thanks so much for the time and effort you put into it. I always seem to have these wild ideas and you, DM and the rest of the team always come-up with a positive result.
