URI of RSS or ATOM ...?



Extract with title string
write here a regular expression of perl eg) /doller/ ...?

Extract with link string
wirte her a regular expression of perl eg) /business/ ...?

Encoding

Thanx

Sorry don´t know this module but maybe you should have a look at http://dev.xoops.org/modules/xfmod/forum/forum.php?forum_id=738 and check XMLine from phppp.

It is a module for RSS/Atom feeds and it comes with examples included.

Just looked at that "Xoops for Dummies." What a Delightful piece of work. It should be included with each download of Xoops. My, god, when I think of all the time it would have saved me...

From where you want to get feed
<xoops-site>/backend.php
as example

Extract with title string
...
Extract with link string

You can fetch to show not only all records, but can select only some interesting parts, using strings from item's title and|or links

Encoding

Each feed can have different languages, thus - different encodings, which must be converted to you local site's codepage

Hi, maybe you can offer some more help.

I installed XMLine and it went well. However, now although the XMLine categories appear on the page, none of the sample rss feeds appear. Am I supposed to do something to activate them?

I just looked at your website and its working. I pressed "update" next to the name of site where the source comes from and it showed the news. You can however do this also from admin interface. In site management you see a date for every site ... click that to retrieve actual rss info.

Then again this should happen automaticly so you need either a cronjob or have to fiddle a call to the need file into some regulary used XOOPS file. Cronjobs should be favored as the other option will slow your site down when you have many many many visitors.

Please check the included readme file to see what i am talking about. Check back with specific questions if that file does not help.

You can reach me or the author also on our website in my signature. ( i sometimes loose track of threads which drop out of the frontpage of xoops.org )

That's funny -- now it is working.

Let me play with it. I'll report back.

Thanks

Maybe you can help me with this question.

Under site navigation it asks for two pieces of information. ONe is the url of the feed the other is the rss of the feed.

Ques: Where do you get the rss of the feed.

That looks something like this:https://xoops.org/backend.php

In other words, its a php file, at least in the example above.

Usually you find an RSS button on the site you want to get the feed from. So check where that button links to and you have the required link.

For example here on xoops.org see at the bottom of this page. That RSS button points to:

https://xoops.org/backend.php

Same way it should work for other sites.
