Implement RSS into Website

[johnsimpson]

Hi guys,

I've got a client who wants RSS feeds on his site. Basically he wants a brief summary in the left nav with a more button linking throught to the story. But he wants the story to load into his website, as if its his content, correct styling etc...

Is this what RSS feeds are meant for? Not really used them before and was wondering how i would go about this if its allowed.

He doesnt want the story linking to its origin, it must be contained within his site. The site is done in ASP, Can anyone help?

thanks guys
J

You may be on dodgy ground if you're passing it off as your own content. Best to check with the RSS provider first.

Simple to do though. Load XML in code, transform with XSL stylesheet, output result, job done.

are there any premade scripts out there that you can recommend? Not really touched XML before.

Im sure if he really wants the feeds he will accept having to have some recognition.

Google for "ASP RSS XSL"

This looks promising:

The ASP is pretty straight-forward. If you need any help with the XSL, just shout.
