Editing RSS blocks in Ning

Playing around with Ning a little more my client wanted to have the RSS titles clickable. After posting on the developers network Fabricio pointed me in the right direction. I ended up writing my first PHP case statement (thanks to Paul Silver for some help with the PHP)

In the file /widgets/feed/templates/embed/embed.php I edited the code in xg_module_head to:

<h2>
   <?php
switch (xnhtmlentities($this->title)):
   case "Features":
   echo "<a href='http://www.artreview.com/profiles/blog/list?user=3817gr4a43ohe'>" . xnhtmlentities($this->title) . "</a>";
break;
   case "News":
   echo "<a href='http://www.artreview.com/artNewsAlert'>" . xnhtmlentities($this->title) . "</a>";
break;
   
default:
echo xnhtmlentities($this->title);
endswitch;
?>
</h2>

It appears to work well.
