We now include RDF-Feeds from our last 15 postings.

You can access it through http://www.turcic.com/forums/feed.php

If you don't know what RDF is, see here:

Heh

I am working on a second feed script now which also includes the post content of the last x posts.

Alexander Turcic · 04-14-2003, 04:44 PM

Veni, vedi, vici!

The RDF feed script is now extended to also include the content of the last postings.

Call the feed like this:

http://www.turcic.com/forums/feed.php?mode=xxx&limit=yyy&offset=zzz

xxx can be

lite (default) - no post content displayed
full - post content displayed with html tags
notags - post content displayed without html tags (e.g. trillian pro requires that)

yyy can be

any number from 1 to 20 - shows the last 1 to 20 postings (default is 15)

zzz can be

your timezone offset, e.g. +2 (default is GMT)

So for instance to display the last 10 postings with content, you can use

http://www.turcic.com/forums/feed.php?mode=full&limit=10

Cheers
Alex

An intersting RDF/RSS Newsfeeder is Desktop Sidebar which can do a lot more than just feeing news from my board

So go have a look!

Alexander Turcic · 04-19-2003, 09:07 AM

This is how Desktop Sidebar looks like. Btw, it also supports Klips.

gvtexas · 04-19-2003, 11:04 AM

Sidebar looks interesting...except for this little detail:

Caution:
This software requires Windows 2000 or Windows XP and does not work in Windows 95/98/Me/NT.

So much for the laptop...but i'll try it at work with the W2K box...

sUnShInE · 04-19-2003, 01:46 PM

I'm still a proponent of Amphetadesk, particularly because you can clip with IE and port to your Clie for off-line reading.

Just my $.02

I've build a sitescooper.org file for that rss-feed:

Ahh I have never figured out Sitescooper. Was hoping iSiloX would have the functionality of Sitescooper built in one day.... oh well, stobs your post looks good, maybe I should give it another try!

ignatz · 03-09-2004, 01:09 PM

Can anyone tell me how to add this feed into Amphetadesk? When I put in the URL it says "AmphetaDesk could not determine the format of https://www.mobileread.com/forums/feed.php."

Thanks.

Hey,

Saw an article on www.palminfocenter.com today about rss feeds and palm pilots. Apparently plucker can convert those feeds. Is there a way for isilo to do the same thing? I'm not familiar with rss but does new york times have one?

Alexander Turcic · 03-09-2004, 05:15 PM

No iSilo doesn't support RSS (yet). Plucker and MobiPocket eNews Creator do, though.

NYT doesn't have official RSS support, but there are sites that offer RSS feeds to NYT. Check here: http://backend.userland.com/director...s/newYorkTimes

I'm not schooled in RSS yet either, but I'm not sure how well it can work on the Palm beyond some headline summaries. Perhaps I should try that new Hand/RSS and see what it's like. The desktop RSS feeds that I've tried have at best a couple of sentences in summary and then link you to the source web page. Obviously that's not feasible for frequent updates to your palm. But as I say, I'm largely inexperienced in this and am open to being wrong. Anyone tried Hand/RSS yet?
