//FILES:

feed.php <- prints out all kills of the actual week in rss format.

feed_fetcher.php <- contains the actual xml parser class.

admin_feed.php <- is the interface to feed_fetcher.php. lets you define feeds of other killboards and import kills.



//NOTES:

-> enter feed urls in the format: http://killboard.eve-d2.com/?a=feed

-> if you enter a feed from a friendly corp/alliance have the 'friends' box checked else you will only be able to fetch friendly fire kills

-> a list of known feeds can be found here: http://myeve.eve-online.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=443506&page=1#2

-> your actual week is automatically selected in the first and last week boxes.

-> clicking the 'fetch' button will by default get all kills of the actual week unless you select a different timeframe.

-> selecting a timeframe with the first and last week boxes lets the fetcher get all mails of this timeframe.
** be careful with this option! it can take several minutes or even hours to have all 
the kills parsed and added to your database, especially if you select a really long timeframe **
** be patient. don't close your browser, don't reload. after doing a full fetch first, weekly updates are totally sufficient to keep your board uptodate **

-> by default their kills aka. your losses get fetched unless you tick the 'get kills'
option in which case their losses aka. your kills get fetched

-> GZip compression is enabled by default because the board automatically
checks and decides if a fetched stream supports GZip compression - if not, it uses regular html/rss output. leave this enabled.

-> if you are running a master killboard (eg. to supply and share killdata with other killboards) edit settings.php and set 'MASTER' to 1.
the board will then even fetch kills not related to the alliance or corp ID you set in the killboards config.php.
leave this option untouched if youre running a normal killboard for your corp or alliance - it will just slow things down and
wont work for you without modifications to the parser class.

-> the feed is not supposed to be human readable so ffs dont complain about the formatting.
for human readable rss output use the rss mod ( /?a=rss ) instead.




//VERSION CHANGES:
//v1.5

feed.php:
- no changes

feed_fetcher.php:
- no changes

admin_feed.php / settings.php
- added a version check (checks my server for the actual version of the mod and gives you an update link if the versions differ)
- added 'select all/none' boxes for the friends and fetch checkbox rows, pretty handy with large feedlists
- fixed small bug with the timeframe selection options and a html bug


//v1.4

feed.php:
- added selection of the year to output
- added support for friend<->friend killboard fetching
- minor code cleanups
- other stuff i forgot

feed_fetcher.php:
- added a fix for the memory exhaustion bug some boards had (check if your php is running in php-safe-mode. if so, disable it)
- improved verbose output

admin_feed.php / settings.php
- replaced the grab-all switch with an advanced range selection system by week and year
- added support for friend<->friend killboard fetching
- minor code cleanups
- other stuff i forgot


//v1.3

feed.php:
- added support for GZip compressed output
- minor code cleanups

feed_fetcher.php:
- converted to a mod
- added support for getting GZip compressed feeds and a fallback if the feed is uncompressed
- changed the text in auto-comment to only show the remote killboards url and not the 
complete path with all passed variables, making it more readable

admin_feed.php / settings.php
- converted to a mod 
- renamed to settings.php
- added option to fetch streams with Gzip compression - enabled by default
- added support for master killboards whose only purpose is to collect and share kill data, see notes

feed.php:
- added output of feed's version number

feed_fetcher.php:
- none

admin_feed.php
- rearranged options to be inline with other admin settings pages
- added checkboxes to enable / disable fetching specific feed urls


//v1.1

feed.php:
- now lets you also grab losses, not only kills.
- will give out only the kills where the request-board-owner (corp or alliance) is victim,
or in case of losses, the involved. this should speed things up significantly.
- included a check for Last_Kill_ID so it starts to output kill data only after
that ID to remove redundancy when fetching a feed more than once.

feed_fetcher.php:
- included getConfig and setConfig call functions to guarantee backwards compatiblity with older killboard version that miss those functions.
- included calls to the killboards comment function so you can add predefined comments to autoparsed kills aka. "post your losses noob".

admin_feed.php:
- made the number of feeds user selectable
- more detailed descriptions
- option for verbose mode (lets you show/hide errormessages from imported killmails)
- option to automatically enter a comment with the autoparsed kill
- option to get kills instead of losses
- added backwards compatibility to exi's v1.0 mod
