I've noticed that most websites don't set up their RSS feed URLs to make use of encoded key-value pairs that let one create specific queries, like the following fictional example: http://stackoverflow.com/feeds?tag=python&lang=en&minvotes=2 Is there a particular technical reason for this? Or am I just not finding the RSS feeds...
I'm trying to create a Podcast RSS feed using WCF. The feed seems to be valid, but the enclosure tag is being ignored. Any ideas? Fixed now ... don't use file file:/// urls even if you are feeding yourself the files. <rss version="2.0"> <channel> <title>Joe Blow</title> <link>http://google.com/</link> <description...
I am trying to read a handful of Rss / Atom feeds with var synFeed = SyndicationFeed.Load(reader); But it throws on the slightest problem. For instance, when one Item contains a few HTML tags in the description field, it's not possible to read the Feed at all. It also doesn't like the RDF tags from for instance SlashDot. Note that ...
I'm trying to show the title of my latest stumbleupon item using their RSS feed and jquery. The function I have is: function get_stumbleupon() { $.get("http://rss.stumbleupon.com/user/fredkelly/", function(data) { alert(data.title); }, "xml"); } Which returns nothing... I just simply want to get a few bits of info about the single...
We've tried to dynamically update our rss-links (using JavaScript) in the head section of the HTML-document to reflect changes on the page due to filtering with AJAX. It seems that these do not consistently update across browsers though (go figure...). (edit: By not updating correctly I mean the link in the address bar, not the DOM its...
I want to serve up specialized RSS feeds on a different subdomain from the rest of the site. Can I use the sites framework to use a different urls.py and settings.py file within a single django instance. or do I need to set up two apache locations and just set the different settings.py files in the apache conf. The reason I need to set...
I use Zend Framework to read an RSS feed is as simple as instantiating a Zend_Feed_Rss object with the URL of the feed : $feed = new Zend_Feed_Rss('http://rss.exemple.com/feed'); echo $feed->title(); This method doesn't exists echo $feed->version(); How I can get the version of Rss, like 2.0 or 0.92 ? ...
How would you generate RSS using ASP.Net MVC? I have the data in the database already and I'll transform it as necessary. My first approach is to create an RSS template that I use as a view, but that seems error prone and since RSS is a structured format there could be a class that I set some properties and generates RSS. Is there such a...
This is something I've been wondering for a while now. I'll occasionally come across an RSS feed that is broken, and blown to pieces all because line 23 say "Sanford & Sons." The most confusing thing is the fact that if you convert the & into &, all is well, even though your alternative still contains the problem-char! Please somebo...
Hey! Does anyone know of any tutorials for this framework? Whats the opinion on the use of this for extracting data from an RSS Feed? Good or bad? ...
I'm currently saving some Twitter data in MySQL. My host only lets me run cron jobs every hour, so to semi-simulate realtime results, I've copied the same file 6 times, and run one every 10 minutes (the host DOES let you control the hourly offset). This is stupid, I think. Is there some mechanism I can learn about that would push the da...
I have added an RSS feed to my website but I can't get google readers and others to pick it up from just my root domain (www.example.com) they need the full address to the rss feed. How can I get them to pick up my feed without my users needing to add the full RSS feed address? I have added the meta tag below but it doesn't seem to hav...
I am thinking of writing a daemon to loop through feeds and then add them into the database as ActiveRecord objects. Firstly, one problem I am facing is that I cannot reliably retrieve the author/user of a story using the feed-normalizer gem. It appears that some times, it does not recognize the tag (I don't know if anyone else has fac...
Hi there, I was writing a generic class to read RSS feed from various source and to consolidate in one collection of object in VB.net. Basically the function - using LINQ to XML - is working properly, but I have a problem when the RSS feed I am trying to read does not contain one of the node (as you know, many of them are optional). I w...
I've got an xml feed that will be published in one location of our website, and would like to repurpose that for an RSS feed. A few different pages on the website will also be referencing the same xml - all of those transformations are set up and working. The base xml file (XMLTEST.xml) is using this structure: <POST> <item> <P...
Possible Duplicate: What are the best RSS feeds for programmers/developers? I'm interested in the best programming-related RSS feeds you have in your news reader. Some points to consider: How long have you been subscribed? How often are entries published? Is content consistently of high quality? On target? Of interest to you?...
Building a feed service, I am on the fence with which I should use. The purest in me want to push and promote ATOM, but RSS is widely adopted. Maybe the simple answer is I offer both. If I go with both do I push my users along and default to ATOM, or have that if users ask for it. Throughts? ...
I would like to be able to massage certain categories of news feeds to make their entries more consistent. For example, when a job seeker subscribes to two different job sites the feeds s/he gets will differ markedly. One would like to be able to perform lookups and other work in the news reader, process the incoming feed on the basis of...
I have a Drupal 6 site with a view that has a page and a feed display. Both the page and the feed work great. The view just shows content type Story in reverse chronological order- basic blog listing page. While the RSS look good, the page display doesn't include the tag in the header for auto-discovery. I've outputting $head in my pag...
Using the category tag in RSS 2.0: <category domain="http://mysite.example.com/tags"> Science and Technology </category> How would I provide an additional URL to the page that shows all of the items in that category? Since the spec doesn't appear cover this, would it be safe to invent a new attribute in my own namespace, like ...
