Using an RSS Feed (This is Easy)

It is just a snippet of php code and can be on any type of page, provided php is enabled (same as coop)

It should be in the body, where you want it (Not in the head)

 

I can't type thank you quick enough. I haven't tried it yet, but I am sure with your help it will work.

Thank You

 

Just tried it, Had to edit my Htaccess file for it to work on my html site.

How can I change the fonts and colours of the text?

 

I also just tried it, but it didn't work. I could see everything from this part of the code...

%s", trim($link),htmlspecialchars(trim($title))); printf("
%s

all the way to the end of the code on the page itself.

Please, any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Have you tried a test piece of html to make sure php works (Like the previous poster said, you may have to add a line to your htacces)

 

Here comes the newbie part. I have no idea what a test piece of code is.

However, I'd love to try one.

 

I do have .php files on my site. Meaning some pages that end in .php. I don't
know if that means anything.

 

nice script yfs1, just wondering how would one go about display the links on a page instead of <a href> tags?

 

You paste it where you want the output to be displayed on your page.

Click on my sig (1stpageseo), look at my portfolio to see how I implement RSS in my customers' sites.

 

could this script be any good together with rss2blog?
sorry if it is a newbie question,
thanks

 

Hello, I like to test this as well, it seems not too complicated but not working for me.

I have pasted the whole code into the body part of a new page ( php page made in dreamweaver), saved the page as rss-test.php,
I already have php page in mysite, so I think it should not be a problem, the only thing I did change was the rss feed,
uploaded the file to server,
load the page in ie browser, nothing is on the page, I did change the rss feed with new ones couple of times, but same result, nothing shows up , no error nothing,
anyone know what possibly could go wrong?

I did check some of the portfolio section of pcdoc site from the sig. I could not find the same script on those pages.

thanks.

 

what's the difference between rotating and straight feeds?

 

wonder if anyone knows how to echo out the actual name of the blog that the feed comes from?

the script seems confused as there are two < title > tags in an rss feed.. one outside the < item > element (name of blog) and one inside each < item > element (the actual post)

Id love to be able to let people know exactly where the feed comes from!!

any help is much appreciated.

 

what is i need to displya, say, 3 links only?

 

good stuff.. will try this...

 

Has anyone found a way to modify the original code that takes in multiple rss feeds so that what it will do is take multiple input feeds, mix them up and show x number of listings randomly on a website. X would be a predefined number.

 

i run a vb forum and want to add more rss feeds but i don t know where to add this code above how do i go about it ? plz help

 

How would i display say, the top storie from 5 different rss feeds?

thanks

Mike

 

in your php script. would be nice.

 

Firstly, thanks to all of you people willing to share the knowledge!!

Now, does anyone have any idea why am I able to run "straight" feed script on my site but not the "rotating" one?

Thanks!
