RSS Styling question

Right. I've successfully set up a RSS feed.

Now I need to know how to style it

Here's the Thread Post RSS Construct which controls what the user sees.

Now for some reason it wont accept [] or <> tags

Code: Select all

 
{XML[title]}
{XML[description]}
Released: {XML[pubDate]}
Link: {XML[link]}

I want to make the title bold and the link clickable - any ideas?

You can style feeds with css but this renders the links unclickable which may be a problem. Your best bet is probably to style the feed with xlst which can be quite complex if you aren't familiar with. I'll admit that it isn't as common as css and there less resources knocking around.

Strictly speaking, though it is more user friendly, there's no need to style a feed.

http://www.worldfootballforums.com/l...2-1-wolves.htm <-- that is the result of one of the feeds (note to mods - leave the link - its linking to one of robs sites anyway)

as you can see the rss feed works but it would be good for users to be able to click the link to read the whole article...

There's a a tutorial here that might be of some use but it does get pretty complex in parts. It uses css and xsl to make the feed look loverly.

thats for external css sheets this has to be internal - guess ill have to leave it as it is and hope none of the users say owt lol
