Getting custom Yahoo provider to work

suggestions, or something simple that I am forgetting, I would greatly
appreciate it.

Re: Getting custom Yahoo provider to work
Hi Jake,I think the Yahoo provider that was done as part of the article is now
out of date. We do have a up-to-date version of the Yahoo provider
available here, however: http://ecf1.osuosl.org
The source code for that is also available...there are instructions for
CVS access at the bottom of the page.
Even the up-to-date version of the Yahoo provider can/could be
improved...and we have not been able to do a lot with it recently. If
you are able to update it and make improvements, please consider
contributing them back to the project.
Thanks!
