yes i want rss feed on sites but how?

Actually, It would be nice.
Thank You

 

Yes please.

 

Are you gonna share the RSS fun?

 

add a rss feed

Ok guys I am sorry.
Been very ill and busy with a online course. I did not see the updates.

Any way here we go.

First the code that you need to add to the page where you want the feed to show

Code:

<?php
$XMLFILE = "http://www.THE FEED YOU WANT.xml";
$TEMPLATE = "http://www.WHERE YOU UPLOADED YOUR TEMPLATE FILE";
$MAXITEMS = "4";
include("../rss/rss2html.php");
?>

The first line ($XMLFILE)is the feed that you want to display.
The second line ($TEMPLATE) url to where you place the template file on your site
The third line ($MAXITEMS)this determines the number of items from the feed.
You can also determine the number of characters in each item that is done in the rss2html.php file
The last line is the path to where you uploaded the file called rss2html.php on your site.

So make the changes to the above code and save it to notepad so you can paste it into the page where you want the rss feed. (REMEMBER YOU NEED TO MAKE THE PAGE .php not .html )

NEXT

next the template
template.html all I can say is try it as is then make small changes to get the look you want. in most cases you dont need to change it at all.
Just upload it to where you said it will be in line 2 ($TEMPLATE) above.

NEXT

the file called rss2html.php open it in notepad and make the following changes.

Code:

$TEMPLATEfilename = "rss/template.html";

Change the info between the " " to where you uploaded the (template.html file)

Code:

$limitItemDescriptionLength = 1000;  // Not limited, in the URL as ItemDescriptionLength=

where it says 1000 that is how long the description of each item will be. for full description make it 0 I find that keeping it between 200 and 500 is long enough to catch attention but not get boring

NEXT

the file called (FeedForAll_XMLParser.inc)
no changes should be made.

upload the file(s) (all files should be in the same folder template,feedforall..,rss2html)
to your server paste the code into the .php page where you want the feed. If all your paths are correct it should work.

 

Any question PM me I will do what I can to help

 

so we just update the rss2template.php file as the feed?


EDIT: Sorry I missed a bit.

 

this is the code that you paste into your page where you want the rss feed

Code:

<?php
$XMLFILE = "http://www.THE FEED YOU WANT.xml";
$TEMPLATE = "http://www.WHERE YOU UPLOADED YOUR TEMPLATE FILE";
$MAXITEMS = "4";
include("../rss/rss2html.php");
?>

change this line
$XMLFILE = "http://www.THE FEED YOU WANT.xml";
to the address of the feed like

$XMLFILE = "http://rss.news.yahoo.com/rss/topstories";

that is one possible example
