My forum is basically a social networking site, and I am always thinking about ways to keep my members interested. After realizing most had never heard of RSS, I had the notion to add RSS reader capability to the site. I did a search here last night and saw that the idea of incoming feeds had been toyed with, but not developed. So, I hit Google for some research, and developed one myself.
It's built around the RSS Content Feed Class from these guys. So, the hard part was already done. After studying the code and tweaking a couple things, I created an add-on reader that uses the most basic of the feed content to display results from the specified URLs.
You can see working demos on my SHN test site and also on a Base Snitz 3.4.06 site.
This initial version stores all variables in rss_var.asp, and requires no changes to the database. I'm hoping someone will be interested and willing to create an admin interface for a more advanced version.  Also, there's a lot more information in the feeds than what this reader displays, so there's plenty of potential.
Overall, I'm pretty pleased with myself for getting the reader this far. Especially considering that my only programming class was in BASIC on Commadore PET machines back in high school.
So, take a look, and give it a try. It's a super simple install and none of your existing files are altered.

I'm very interested in constructive feedback and help, so if you have thoughts or ideas, please let me know.

Nicely done! I've done it pretty much the same, however without the content and the images: http://oxle.com/my_feeds.asp?group=news< |

Marcel (or anyone else), please help. I'm going nuts!
Your mod uses the same RemoveHTML function I've been trying. Except you have it working, and I don't!
Also, my mouseover tips only work on some links.
See an example here.
Can you look to see if you can spot my problems?

Zip file has been updated with minor layout/formatting improvements.< |

The newsfeeds.asp is just a "container" for the inc_livefeeds include file. It supplies the forum headers, etc. Try connecting directly to inc_livefeeds.asp or including it elsewhere on your forum. If it works, then something in newsfeeds.asp might be getting defined again in your config file.< |

hmmm not sure but his "newsfeed.asp" includes "config.asp" and "config.asp" includes "inc_adovbs.asp".< |

Any idea?
I haven't gotten around to downloading the code yet, but you might want to check and see if inc_adovbs.asp is included twice, or is included after a different include that has it included in it. (if that made any sense...  )< |

Marcel, thanks. I recall seeing that topic, but the title "Blog lines" threw me off and I didn't read closely.
I downloaded your zip and I'll poke thru it when I get a chance. But I like the "My Feeds" page. I had a similar idea for the "My Page" part of my site, but instead of a list of feeds, I'd like to let members just add x number of feeds like you would on Yahoo, etc.
Anyway, this will give me something to do when I can't sleep at night. :)< |

Sorry, no idea. inc_adovbs.asp isn't part of my add-on, so hopefully someone can identify the problem.
Anyone else tried this successfully?< |

Tastynutz, check this thread: http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=58846
Also, here's a wrapup of the code: http://oxle.nl/topic.asp?tid=3751
Here's a schematic overview of how the mod retrieves and displays the RSS feeds:
