RSS Parsing Script...

[Copywriter]

Just curious if anyone is a specialist at RSS Parsing Scripts to "handle XML data and separate it all so it displays in the format of a website." The website is an Advanced Access website.

If you can do it, perhaps you can offer me a quote and I'll mention it to my client.

Currently we are planning to (at least temporarily) host an Inman news feed off-site.

You can PM me...

Thanks,

I realize that this is an old topic, but here are a few that I use:

For asp pages: http://www.bytescout.com/how_to_display_rss_using_asp.html

For php I use: http://www.feedforall.com/more-php.htm

Both are easy to set up and run.

You know I generally have a good understanding of computers, software and the net... but I do not get this RSS stuff - not sure why but I do not understand it.... of course I am seeing it more and more - can someone please try and teach this old dog new tricks :D

I think that part of the learning curve problem is that when most people look at an RSS code page their first thought is that it looks like HTML and then confuse the RSS feed setup with HTML coding. So the next time you look at an RSS feed page get those thoughts of HTML out of your head.

Check out the article below and it will show you the essential portions of setting up an RSS feed. There are a lot more options you can add, but truthfully you won't need them.

Now, to display an RSS feed from another source on your web site you can use any of the options that I provided above. What's great about these files is that all you need to edit is the source URL of the feed and how many articles you want to display from each of these feeds. Very simple.

What I then do for my sites is edit these files, then use an ASP include file or a PHP include file to place these feeds exactly where I want to on my web pages.

I hope that helps.

Nice one, I have been looking for the script for asp for a while.
