RSS news feed problem

[Guest]

I see if you use the RSStoHTML files you can place what you want where you want but what about the RSP is there anyway to take the feed from the RSP and trim it? What I would like to do is place the newest 5 news feeds on my home page can this be done?

I have the RSS news on my home page but there are just to many titles showing is there anyway to limit this?

To Limit items

The only way I know of to limit the number of news items is to use the rss2html method.
I don't think you can limit the number of items using the RSP script.
the rss2html is not that hard to impliment. If you need help I can list the steps you need to take. Let me know.

The problem when I use the RSS2HTML I lose the dropdown feature in which I really like. Is there a way to use the RSS2HTML and still keep the stories droping down from under the main topic?

rss2html

Have you tried this format?

<TABLE WIDTH="100%">

~~~BeginItemsRecord~~~

<TR VALIGN-"TOP">

<TD>

<BR>

<FONT SIZE="-1">~~~ItemPubShortDate~~~</FONT>

<BR>

<B>~~~ItemTitle~~~</B>

<BR>

~~~ItemDescription~~~

<BR>

<A HREF="~~~ItemLink~~~">More Info</A>

<BR>


</TD>

</TR>


~~~EndItemsRecord~~~

</TABLE>

I think the "~~~ItemLink~~~" might be what you are looking for.
Have not tried. I think there is a way to get what you want but not sure exactly how.

kwansan, thank you for reporting this error. I will ask our developers to fix it.

Milen, this is still not fixed, after two years...

Well I got the news page working (instructions #1)
I was missing the PHP after <?

You can see it if you go to site above and click more news
or click here

Now to get just 2 news items on home page

Did you find a way to limit the number of feeds displayed?

maxa, I spoke with a developer two years ago. He said that adding php after the opening tag of a .php file was optional and it should work without it too. I have tested it then and it worked fine.

It did not work for me, on sc30. I changed to the above suggested and then it worked...

RSS is basically a way to get news feeds into an area on your web page. News feeds are generally breaking news on particular topics such as politics, sports, etc. You have seen this on websites that may have a column with headlines that you click on for the whole story. You can add this to a web site as a way to add ever changing content to keep visitors coming back.

interested in sports, but here I am having trouble understanding the language, must be a different language options on the site.
