Using an RSS Feed (This is Easy)

Hi,

Deano - I think this feed will work for me.

So how do I use this code to display stuff from that feed?

Thanks
jamie

 

In theory you should replace the line where it says
"http://michaelthompson.org/news/goo-world.xml"
with "YourRSSfeed"
Then put it into the body text,

Unfortunately i could not get it to work due to the "image" problem that people have mentioned with this feed.

Sorry, maybe someone more experienced than me will be able to help.

 

I havent read all 9 pages of this thread, but I'm gonna make a suggestion (not sure if it has been mentioned before)
While the original code yfs1 posted will work (and thanks for posted it btw), I think its better to use something like MagpieRSS that caches the data..
Better for you since it can display the feeds even when the rss feed is down, and better for the site providing the feed, since you dont have to request it every time you display it. (saves a lot of bandwidth and server resources)

I have some example code on how to use it here:
http://www.articletrader.com/feeds/using-rss-feeds/

 

I have use this script since ysf1 start this thread but I just notice today that the For a Straight Feed script seem's not working for atom.xml (feeds from blogger.com)

Does anyone of you also encounter this problem or I am only the one? The scripts works very well to other feeds except blogs using the atom.xml

 

Anyone got an idea if this script could be modified in some way to perhaps take a random item(s) from the feed. Not necessarily in the order they occur in the feed.

 

mods can you stick this post. its really usefullfor everyone

 

how many feeds i can have on one by using your script( i used first) PHP page?
i copy 1 st script and put on my web page, it was great,
but i was interesting to have few different feeds on the same page, and it did not work.

can i or can not have multiple feeds with this script?

thnks

 

I work with others, mostly real estate agents and brokers, integrating RSS feeds into their web sites.

See http://www.1stpageseo.com/

 

does someone want to summarise this post so it actually makes sense? is it for .php pages? .html pages? do you just paste the code onto an html page where you want the feed to appear? in the head, footer, body? does it need tweaking does it work? because it doesnt appear to on YFS1's site all i see are errors....

all I want to do is add a bloody feed, not my own feed ..I don't want to create one..i just want to insert BBC frikkin news headlines onto a page and have them change automatically every once in a while, that's all....where are the bloody tutorials on the internet?

man this has got me pi**ed !!!

 

It is for php pages.
But while this code might work, there are better ways that actually caches the feeds.

I have some info and code that you can just copy/paste to your site here:
http://www.articletrader.com/feeds/using-rss-feeds/

 

and this will enable me to add the BBC healine feed to my html pages?

 

You will need php to display an rss feed.
You can setup your server to handle your html pages as php, then the code will work.
(And you can use the example code to display BBC headlines, just use the feed from the BBC instead of the feed from my site)

 

Hi,
for those 2 scripts, is it possible to change text size and font?

thanks

 

hi,
anyone, is it possible to have more that one script, on a page,
i am talking about scripts in this thread.

thanks

 

Showing html codes when i tried : Please help me on this.

 

I would like to know too. I got the same issue and gave up on RSS for the moment. If somebody know how to get fix it, please tell us!
Thanks

 

No one seems to know the answer to this "mistery"!

 

Whoohoo, I finally got it figured out. Thanks for all the tips.

I wish someone would have highlited the spaces in the code where you makes you personal adjustments. My skill could fit in a thimble, but I like to try and work this stuff out myself. It took me way too long to figure out where to paste my rss feed to get the dang thing to work.

Anyway, thanks to all for the tips.

 

Could you please share with us how did you get that code out of your pages?
Thank you!

First of all, I am so impressed about the amount of knowledge in here...hence the reason for my post.

If I wanted to paste the script that is in the first post of this thread onto one of my pages, where would I paste it? In between what tags? Does it have to show up in the <body> or <head> or anything?

Also, if I change the name of the file to .php I am assuming that it would work fine. Or, can I leave it as an .html file?

I appreciate any help I can get.

Thank You
