I'm trying to select the "name" field from the author node in an ATOM feed using LINQ. I can get all the fields I need like so: XDocument stories = XDocument.Parse(xmlContent); XNamespace xmlns = "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"; var story = from entry in stories.Descendants(xmlns + "entry") select new Story { ...
We have a product that by default installs MSDE SP3 for use with merge replication (as subscriber). We have never had a problem with this. Recently found that on the Eee PC everything installs without incident, which includes applying the latest snapshot; however, when we try to pull down data to the Eee PC from the Publisher it takes ...
Anyone have an pointers on an easy way to consume a search.twitter.com feed with ASP.Net? I tried using the RSSToolKit, but it doesn't provide anything for parsing the and other tags in the feed. For example: I want to parse this feed: http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=c%23 and make it appear on a page just like it does in the t...
Hi folks, I want to provide some RSS feed(s) for my site. Is it worth providing Atom feeds? or is atom the more common feed? Is there a winner? BTW, this relates to programming because I'm required to program the feed which we will provide (or use some open source code, etc). cheers. Update So far it looks like peeps are saying Atom...
I've been showing a website to a customer who insists on using IE and found out, to my surprise, that IE7 does not autodiscover the Atom newsfeed. The feed is linked to within the HEAD element of a valid HTML 4.01 Strict page with <link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" href="atom.xml" title="Atom 1.0">, the link is pointing t...
I need code in Perl for requesting and parsing ATOM and RSS feeds. Is there a CPAN module(s) for that? ...
I want to provide feed in my merb application. After reading wikipedia, RSSvsAtom and seeing that StackOverflow uses it, I think I will use Atom. What library should I use? I have found rAtom that looks quite good. Are there better alternatives? Or does merb has anything built in to help me? UPDATE: maybe I should just do the news in p...
I'm looking to build a media PC attached to the big screen (65"), primarily for Boxee, playing movies, music, and photos, and for occasional web serving / email. Having it act as a DVR for over-the-air HDTV would be a big plus as well. I'm pretty tempted by the Atom based MSI Wind PC as used in this hackintosh. Seems a nice little PC, a...
My website has an Atom feed and I want to make it easier to subscribe to it. I see that many sites such as StackOverflow have the Atom icon in the location bar in Firefox 3. I haven't, however, been able to work out how. I assume some HTML is needed - but what tags specify the the browser that a page has a feed? ...
Yep, I asked it. There is no more thing to tell :) Thanks in advance. ...
The Twitter ATOM feed requires your login and password (obviously), which is nicely supported by IE7 (apparently IE7 can't handle RSS feeds with login/pw). IE displays a simple login prompt when you register the feed. How do I implement something similar in ASP.NET without access to the server or IIS? ...
I'm trying to parse an Atom feed programmatically. I have the atom XML downloaded as a string. I can load the XML into an XmlDocument. However, I can't traverse the document using XPath. Whenever I try, I get null. I've been using this Atom feed as a test: http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default Calling SelectSingleNode()...
If an Entry represents some file/resource that has changed - is it enough to change the updated field? I note that most feed readers won't show it as "new" as it has the same UUID? rfc4287 says that I can change it, but feed readers seem to ignore it. ...
Hello, I need a PHP library/script that can retreive data from feeds, no matter if they are RSS or ATOM, because I want users to insert random feeds which will then be stored in a database. It would also be great if it could check whether a given URL is a feed or not. If anything exists that could help me out, could anyone tell me? Tha...
I'm looking into writing a proxy aggregator for feeds, where a handful of users specify a feed URL and some set of conditions, and the system outputs a continually-updated RSS/Atom feed of entries that match those conditions. Are there best practices for feed aggregators? (Or filtering feed proxies?) For example: Are there certain fe...
I have a project that will need to be able to export data for feed readers. Is there a non-technical reason I should pick RSS over Atom, Atom over RSS, one of the flavors of RSS over another or anything else? In particular, I'm looking for things like low or high adoption, difficulties/incompatibilities or particular ease with popular ...
I admit to being a bit behind the times when it comes to understanding RSS/Atom feed issues. All I know is, I want to have an Atom feed converted to an RSS feed inline. Meaning that I want to specify an option somewhere that says use this xsl or whatever to convert the Atom feed to an RSS feed. Is there some way to accomplish this tha...
I'm creating an RSS (and/or Atom) feed for my website. Now, I can immediately think of two ways to do this: Use the same templating system I use to generate the HTML (Clearsilver if anyone's wondering), basically just treating the RSS feed like any other web page that happens to be in RSS+XML instead of XHTML Use an XML library, or an ...
My application needs to keep track of RSS/Atom feeds and save the new entries in a database. My question is, What is the most reliable method to determine whether an entry in a feed has already been crawled or not? I use Universal Feed Parser module to parse the feeds. My current implementation keeps record of the latest value of feed.en...
I'm creating a web site and I'm having trouble getting FireFox to ask me where to add the feed when I open it. I used the tag to add the RSS icon, and it leads to a page that provides a valid Atom feed according to the W3C validator. When the content type is "text/html", I get the content of the xml tags concatenated. When I serve "appl...
