RSS feed maker? They're not that hard once you get the hand of it if you want to code one manually.

Re: RSS Feeds.....


I'm having a hard time finding the code so I can make my own, which I'm sure I'm not looking in the right places.

As far as the webapages that don't already have one, automotive related sites such as NHRA, IHRA, Many other sites. Trust me I'm looking my hardest to find RSS feeds before attmepting to make one =)

Re: RSS Feeds.....


I can't tell what you want to do even yet.

It sounds like you want to pull Race Info and display it on your site. But it also sounds like you are looking at those feeds to see how you can create one as well.

What does "make one" mean to you?

Re: RSS Feeds.....


No, your terminology is way off.

Putting race info on your site is possible as long as you pull from RSS feeds. Doable.

Feeds don't pull. Feeds deliver. So I'm still mixed up.

1) "I want to be able to put race info on my site"

What is the source of this info, original articles or what ever or info from RSS feeds?

2) "as well as the rss feed that constantly pulls information rotating"

When You say as well as, I want to assume you mean the answer to question one is original content. Feeds deliver, not pull.

RSS aggregaters pull info from rss feeds. So, break it down for me and we're almost there.

The delivery of RSS is a standard, not a method. Where as the aggregation depends on the standard to read and show the feed.

So, apps that read will all be very similar in operation and features.

The app that creates the output called RSS that you may pull or deliver to others to pull can be very dissimilar with only the end result being in common. The sources and types of sources compiled to make the feed are usually quite different site to site. One guy may have to show vB threads and another phpbb threads. Both require very different code to deliver the same type end result.

Re: RSS Feeds.....


I currently have Rss feeds delivering information to my forum in designated sections.

I want to set the RSS feed to deliver information to my sites as the ones I have there do now. Being that many of the sites I am interested in so not offer RSS feeds already, I want to be able to make my own to deliver information to my forum through one of the threads.

I'm looking for the code or the easiest breakdown, for me, on how to make an rss feed for sites that not already have one so I can deliver the information of the sites to my forum.

I want to be able to keep from having forum threads with no threads on them.

I want to be able to add all types of feeds to deliver different types of information.

Ok, I know I am confusing, I know what i want and it's in my head but my fingers are not helping I believe....lol

Re: RSS Feeds.....


, yeah, you're mixing terminology badly.

But, I think I see your point. You want info from sites that do not supply an RSS feed.

That is called scraping. (Pronounced stealing) If the content is not delivered via RSS as syndicated, then you can't use it without specific permission even if you link to it.

Let's try the terminology. When you get info, you get it from a feed. When you publish info via RSS for others to pull, that is a feed.

When you pull from a feed to your forum, you are fetching and displaying someone else's content. Not feeding, displaying.

Re: RSS Feeds.....


So, I'm pretty much stuck on getting RSS feeds if they do not provide one? Makes sense, but not good for Shell....lol

So I suppose I will stick to what feeds I CAN get until they make feeds for ones I want.

Thank you for working with me and helping. Any information or suggestions you can provide are welcomed as well =)
