I am using Multiheadlines on my son's website www.billsarena.com

I have several feeds working for child custody and shared parenting. The problem is that his site is The Internet's First Divorce Support Site for Kids, By a Kid!

Some of the feeds pull an occasional feed that is not appropriate for kids. I would like to be able to filter the feeds as they come in so that objectionable articles will not display in the block. (objectionable would be anything having to do with murder, suicide, sex toys, etc.) Many of the visitors are 10 years old or younger.

Any help would be appreciated.

I am almost ready for the next version of MH[I'm in testing phase], which unfortunately doesn't have the filtering feeds capability, but I'm thinking seriously to add this feature to a future version.
In your case here is a quick workaround, considering it's about a child site.
Normally we could use a already defined function "filter_text", but this will just replace the bad text with a anything else. We will assume that if a feed have a bad text, the whole feed content is obscene so replacing only the bad word will not help us, so I had to made a function that will disregard the whole feed.
open functions.php from[modules/Multiheadlines] and just above the line[around 380]

add this code

this will match the feeds against the bad words defined in censorlist[this list is in file config.php at the bottom]
now couple of lines below, where is defined "insert_todb" function replace line

with

Feeds containing words from censorlist wount be collected anymore.
You can extend the censor list with other words.

Great, that's exactly what I want as the news that he wants on Child Custody and Shared Parenting is interspersed with some objectionable stuff.

Thanx!!!
