Am Alfie Clark coming from UK. I know how to use RSS and all but can you embed the RSS feed into the site and be able to change the text in the site by changing the feed? If so how? Please help me. The languages I know are HTML, CSS, XML, and JavaScript.
Thank you

The rss file format are public， So you can deal the content by youself. May be there are some open source code. You can search from the net.

Of course you could. Feeds are XML so all you have to do is apply an XSLT stylesheet to the feed to transform it to your needs. Symphony CMS which is a developer CMS allows you to use feeds as a data source's as well as allowing you to apply XSLT behind the scenes, for the purpose of using it for page content. XSLT does have a slight learning curve but is definately a must if you work with XML a lot.

The big benefit to RSS is that individuals opt-in to content of interest, totally controlling the flow of information that they receive.It can provide you with a more efficient way to deliver your newsletter to subscribers and increase the number of subscribers.RSS readers aggregate multiple feeds, making it easy for individuals to quickly scan information contained within each feed. Feeds are generally themed, allowing users to opt-in to feeds that are of interest.

You will need magpie to read and parse any RSS feed by cron jobs and then update the web page automatically.

if your site is in wordpress rss will automatically detect & update with any change in site content so................

Yes, You can update your site with RSS feed. I think presently your site is not RSS feed and you want to provide RSS feed support to your site. This can be easily done.
Good to know that you are aware of benefits of RSS feeds.


Thanks,

I don't think it can be possible and if it does then how? As far as I've known RSS feed is just a text copy of a website used to publish frequently updated works in such as blog entries, news, etc. and you can't even edit the content of RSS feed, so how come that it could be possible? any reliable expert reply?

Hi,

You can update a website with an RSS feed using html and PHP.

In php coding you have to read the rss feed from a specific location and then show it on your site using some variables and include functions...

Example:

PHP Code:


<?
$headlines= readRssFromUrlAndReturnTitlesFunction ("http://www.anysite.com/feed.xml");

echo "html code for upper graphics of my site";
echo "The newest stories rom AnySite:";
echo "$headlines";
echo "the down graphics part of my site";

?>

Here the source code of a similar script based on this concept:

i have seen many sites which update their content with rss feed. I mean if you have a news section on your site then you can get updated content from any news site with Rss feed. The only thing which I do not like i sthat we cannot have customize design..

Let get this correct:
You want a feed to embed onto your site that will update based on the current topic. So, everytime someone posts a new blog,etc. your embed feed will show the newest topic.

If this is what you are asking then the solution is a feed2js:

I think if your site updates frequently, you'd better make your site could Rss. Then when your site updates, people who subscribes your Rss will recevice the updates. It is very convenient for you and your customers.

Online there are RSS plugin, you can lower it down
