Most of the french press website subscribed to the AFP flow. AFP using a
FTP folder, updates the xml news files and pictures on the clients
reposotories.
The news are ordered in categorie (one per folder), and are updated in

Here is a simple pagelayout to demonstrate how to quickly use this
extension.
Jquery is mandatory, as is the javascript/eznewsafp.js file.
stylesheets/eznewsafp.css is optionnal, it contains a basic css for
the extension.
Including the eznewsafp_bloc.tpl template with its two arguments is enough to
display the AFP news block. (So, one include for one block)
For example :Two blocks are loaded in AJAX, each containing a selector
and the index.
Clicking a link wil display the full news.
Note: The blocks are reloaded automatically every 15 secondes.
Improvement ideas :
