RSS page

Hi,

I don't know how hard this would be (or if there is already kit that will do this). I want to setup a webpage for my forum, where it reads the RSS of members blogs (they say they want to be on the RSS and I add the RSS to the page so that it gets read). So I am assuming as an example it would be similar to how google news runs.

They give me their link, I add it to the blogs to be read, then it adds it to the webpage.

So I am just wondering how this would be achieved, I have searched google, but it seems to always come up with RSS browsers for your desktop computer and no way of doing it so a webpage reads it instead.

Thanks in advance,

Ross

I can help with this...
Firstly, I need to know...

1. Do you want this to happen on the server or the client?
ie.: Do you want your server to query theirs, fetch the feed and manipulate it before serving the content.
OR
Do you want a script (js) that runs on the client machine and deal with handles it there...

2. What technologies can you use?
ASP, PHP, XML, XSL?

Hi,

Thanks for your response.

1. Server - Fetch the feed and manipulate it.
2. Absolute novice - none (I struggle with HTML let alone anything else)

I think my answers just shot the idea in the foot

Thanks again,

If you're struggling with HTML I don't think it's a good idea to fetch the RSS and manipulate it in the server. There's a lot going on....

And anyway, you will definitely need some experience with PHP or ASP. You simply can't do it otherwise...

Either way, I found a neat little Javascript RSS reader that might be useful:

Cheers for that. I think I will try and get around to learning it when I have some free time. Thanks for your help.

No problem... let me know how you get on.
