Do developers have to put certain/extra elements in the feed's XML file or attributes in the hyperlink for the browser to recognize that it's a feed that can be subscribed to? Or do browsers do that automatically as long as the XML validates? (showing users that "Subscribe to this feed using..." interface in Firefox or "You are viewing ...
I would like to serve a different content from a single URL depending on whether the user is a browser or a RSS reader (hence avoiding an example.com/feed URL). Thus www.example.com/posts will return an (X)HTML page to a browser and an RSS feed to a feed reader. What the architecturally most appropriate way of accomplishing this? PS Ho...
I'm writing some RSS feeds in PHP and stuggling with character-encoding issues. Should I utf8_encode() before or after htmlentities() encoding? For example, I've got both ampersands and Chinese characters in a description element, and I'm not sure which of these is proper: $output = utf8_encode(htmlentities($source)); or $output = htmle...
With .net 3.5, there is a SyndicationFeed that will load in a RSS feed and allow you to run LINQ on it. Here is an example of the RSS that I am loading: <rss version="2.0" xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/"> <channel> <title>Title of RSS feed</title> <link>http://www.google.com</link> <description>Det...

Has anyone had any luck customizing the feed animation? Ideally I would like a left-right marquee animation. Any thoughts would be appreciated. ...
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...
Hi there, I need to retrieve the Build Status from TeamCity in the form of XML, RSS format would be ideal. I am familiar with the RSS feed within Teamcity but that is of no use as it is more of a history view. I am looking for something more like the page generated by the Status Widget but in XML form. (FYI, the status widget page is n...
I've seen services like this before, where you give a URL and you're given an RSS feed of changes to the web page. But google is not turning up anything quite as simple/usable as what I'm remembering. Please submit one such service or solution per answer so that as the landscape changes they can be voted up or down accordingly. (Custo...
Hi, I've created a utf8 encoded RSS feed which presents news data drawn from a database. I've set all aspects of my database to utf8 and also saved the text which i have put into the database as utf8 by pasting it into notepad and saving as utf8. So everything should be encoded in utf8 when the RSS feed is presented to the browser, howe...
How would you solve this problem? You're scraping HTML of blogs. Some of the HTML of a blog is blog posts, some of it is formatting, sidebars, etc. You want to be able to tell what text in the HTML belongs to which post (i.e. a permalink) if any. I know what you're thinking: You could just look at the RSS and ignore the HTML altogether...
I've seen a few examples of RSS Feeds in ASP.NET MVC, like this, and some samples in projects (like Oxite), but none of them are complete. Eg. None of them check for the header If-Modified-Since in the request, to save bandwidth. I do not want to reinvent the wheel, so I stop here asking for some directions. ...

I had a little bit of budget left at year end and I wanted to start a little skunk works project to display build status what everyone was working on (our team is aobut 10 folks all told). I am thinking to buy a 47" LCD HD TV and drive it from a small pc via a browser/.NET web application. I was going to build the software over the chr...
I understand how to make an RSS file. The XML for it is simple enough. But do I have to anything special for updates to get distributed or do I just need to update the file periodically and the rest will take care of itself? All of the stuff I've found on rss talk about what it does but not so much how. ...
I need code in Perl for requesting and parsing ATOM and RSS feeds. Is there a CPAN module(s) for that? ...
Hi, I'm using JAlbum to create my webalbum and since version 8.1 JAlbum supports RSS feeds of the albums. However the RSS feeds generated by JAlbum do not work for albums containing a hierarchy of folders. What they try to do in the RSS feeds is to include the RSS feeds of the subfolders by including a element (see example below). This...
We are migrating to a Sharepoint solution and our urls are changing slightly. Are most RSS readers able to follow redirect links without breaking the feed and making an update manually? Most of the documentation I'm reading says that this will work for major RSS readers. I have read in some places that a lot of RSS readers will trea...
Is it possible to dynamically the URL of a feed that has been instantiated in the header of a page via JavaScript? For example, is it possible to update the URL of the rss feed in the following snippet: <html> <head> <link rel="alternate" title="Feed" href="/rss.feed" type="application/rss+xml"> </head> <body> ... </bod...
Hi, I'd like to parse rss feeds and download podcasts on my ReadyNas which is running 24/7 anyway. So I'm thinking about having a shell script checking periodically the feeds and spawning wget to download the files. What is the best way to do the parsing? Thanks! ...
