I want to make the titles of WordPress blog posts appear on a seperate homepage like they do at Apple.com next to "Hot News Headlines". Here is the related source I found but I am unsure how to apply it to my own site: <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="http://images.apple.com/main/rss/hotnews/hotnews.rs...
I'm using .NET's SyndicationFeed to create RSS and ATOM feeds. Unfortunately, I need HTML content in the description element (the Content property of the SyndicationItem) and the formatter automatically encodes the HTML, but I'd rather have the entire description element wrapped in CDATA without encoding the HTML. My (simple) code: var...
I created an RSS Link today with the help of Code Igniter, and when I go to click on the RSS link, Firefox tries to download the file. The first few times, I downloaded it and made sure there were no errors (there were at first, but now that's sorted). Does anyone know why it keeps trying to download the file, instead of going to the "Ad...
I'm having problems getting to the rss link that tells the browser where the rss is for the site. The link is found in the <head> tag of the html here is an example of what the link looks like. <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="CNN - Top Stories [RSS]" href="http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss" /> My origi...
I'm working on a free web application that will analyze top news stories throughout the day and provide stats. Most news websites offer RSS feeds, which works fine for knowing which stories to retrieve. However, the problems arise when attempting to get the full news story from the news website itself. At the moment, I have separate News...
I've looked around, and it doesn't seem like there's any standard of what HTML tags are 'allowed' in RSS - you could put anything in. But the readers I tested only allow certain things. In my initial testing, it seems like simple styling tags like <b> are fine. So is inline styles like <span style="color:red"> <img>'s seems to work. ...
Is there a third party django app for eaily importing rss items (specifically wordpress blog posts) in google-code? I've been searching for 20 minutes and can't pull anything up. Ideally the end result would be something like: def news(request): most_recent_post = ??? #get most recent rss post from http://feeds.feedburner.com/codi...
I have RSS-reader class for Ruby, and I'd want to use it in rails, where does the rss_reader.rb go? To "libs/rss_reader.rb"? I tried that, then requiring it in controller, but I get error: 'MissingSourceFile (no such file to load -- lib/RssReader)' ...
I am building a web service that involves parsing of 3rd party RSS feeds. How can I be informed about the 3rd party RSS feeds being updated? I know that I can set up a Cron job to check for RSS updates every X minutes. But I don't want to generate unnecessary traffic and computing overhead. Can I somehow have my system pinged by a web ...
Is there a good program for "real-time" RSS Growl notifications. I would like to install a Growl alerts for RSS feeds. When a news is published RSS changes and I see an alert. I tryed OmniGrowl but have problems on my new MacBook Pro. Thx! ...
I'm investigating the Argotic Syndication Framework, and I'm pretty impressed so far. However, a lot of the current implementation--at least for RSS and Atom--seem pretty comparable to System.ServiceModel.Syndication. Does anyone have any opinions as to one over the other? ...
Can you add an XML-stylesheet to the RSS feed generated through the new System.ServiceModel.Syndication namespace? ...
Quick question: When I'm in Google Reader, it will flash and pop up a new number of unread items indicating that a new article has just been published (typically <1 minute after the blog's "published date"). Does Google just constantly ping every blog I'm subscribed to, or does the RSS standard have some sort of "signal" that it puts ou...
Hi! Im trying to fix a Python script which takes the posts from a specific RSS feed and strips them down and inputs them into a text file. As you can see beneath, there are two main print functions. One prints only to the shell once run, but it shows all of the posts, which is what I want it to do. Now, the second part is where the prob...
How can I get Magpie RSS to identify itself as a user? HTTP Response: HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized is the error that i'm getting returned ...
NSXMLParserInvalidCharacterError # 9 This is the error I get when I hit a weird character (like quotes copied and pasted from word to the web form, that end up in the feed). The feed I am using is not giving an encoding, and their is no hope for me to get them to change that. This is all I get in the header: < ?xml version="1.0"?> <...
I am using Rome to combine several feeds into one. It's largely based on this example on the Rome site. I'm creating a RSS 2.0 feed, which I save as a (W3C) Document then pass to a stylesheet to convert to HTML. One of my requirements is to display the source (link to and name of originating site) for each entry (as they can come from ...
I'm trying to serve up Excel documents that I have stored in a database via a WCF RSS feed (the user clicks a link in the feed and it sends down a specific Excel document). The Excel files aren't sitting in a directory any where (in which case I could just give each user a static URL). So what I'd like to do is have a dynamically ge...
I noticed that when I added the FogBugz RSS Feed to my iGoogle page I had to embed my username and password in the feed URL. So are there any security risks associated with doing this? EDIT: Yes, my question should have specifically stated https and whether or not the query string portion of the url is encrypted. ...
I'm at a stage in which I did not learn internet scripting languages yet, but I do understand JavaScript enough to edit scripts I find on the web to suit my needs. Lately, I've been searching for an RSS to HTML converter, and was surprised to find out that it usually involves PHP. I don't see a reason for JavaScript to not be adequate f...
