Dynamic Menu From RSS Feed?

Hello,
I have a client who would like a drop-down menu dynamically
created to show links to the most recent posts on a WordPress blog.
Has anyone seen anything like this? The menu would *not* be on a
page that's part of the WP installation -- it would most likely
pull items from the WP RSS feed.
Any ideas or resources anyone can point to on this?
Many thanks,
Matt

Hi,
Of course. You can create your menuVO and then use an iterator inside your menu component so you create a menuItem for each row in your DB.
Hope this gives you an idea.

Adding dataset from RSS feed

Hi,
Could anyone explain me step by step procedure to add dataset from RSS feed? My main concern is how will I create a dedicated RSS feed and sync it with my R/3 to fetch data from it?
Cordially,
Danish

Danish,
I was wondering if you could share your solution? I am trying to do something similar and haven't been able to successfully get the data imported the way I want.
I've created a standard RSS feed, but that format really doesn't seem to be conducive to communicating data rows.
Thanks,
Nate

Torss - downloads selected torrents from RSS feeds

I often have a problem with various private torrent trackers that by the time I add to torrent to my client it has already been active for a long time and I struggle to maintain a good ratio. As such I wanted something which could scrape the tracker's RSS feed, find torrents that match various patterns and download the torrent files to a folder for my torrent client to pick up.
So I wrote torss. It's quite simple, but it does what I need it to do. The user defines some rules, decides which "getter" to use (each RSS feed has its own getter) and runs torss with those settings (likely from cron).
Help:
$ torss -h
Usage: /usr/bin/torss -g getter [OPTIONS]...
torss is parser of RSS feeds which downloads files referenced in the RSS if the
title of the entry matches given rules.
-g, --getter getter script to use
-r, --rules rules file to use
-d, --destination destination path to save torrents to
-i, --history history file to use
-h, --help help
The rules file must contain an array named rules containing at least one entry.
These entries should be regular expressions (for grep -Ei) for torrent titles
to be downloaded. See /etc/torss/rules.sample
The getter script will be looked for in ~/.config/torss/getters/, then
/etc/torss/getters/ and finally as a file referenced from the CWD. This means
you can pass either simply the filename or the absolute/relative path.
The destination path will usually be a folder where your torrent client
automatically picks up torrent files.
The history file is used to ensure the same torrent isn't downloaded multiple
times, as such it should, for normal use, be left as the default value.
Example Use:
~/.config/torss/rules:
rules[0]="foobar S01E[0-9]{2}(.+)?720(.+)?x264"
Those rules match what's in a demo getter script that's included in torss.
$ torss -g demo
Downloading 'Foobar S01E02 720p x264-Pirate' to /home/sid
Downloading 'Foobar S01E01 720p x264-Pirate' to /home/sid
There is also a history file to avoid downloading the same torrents a second time.

EOF
Since it's on github I know I could use git to clone the repo for the latest code, but I prefer using tags to state releases. This way things like aurcheck/yaourt/packer/etc know there has been an update.
Some private trackers (the ones I made for myself) are already included, though you'll need to edit them, setting the cookiejar values to those of your own cookies.
I would greatly appreciate feedback, this is the first non-trivial bash script I've written.

Yes - and the same here all of a sudden. Very annoying indeed. I really don't want to have to have another app. just to read my RSS feeds but is that going to be the solution? I'm sure this trouble started after I'd inadvertently erased messages instead of marking them all read. And it's only with two VersionTracker feeds too, not the others I get. VT have yet to respond to my request for ideas but if the y do, I'll post here again.

N97 Browsing from Rss feed

Hi all, first post on here. I decided (for some mad reason) last month to get a N97 rather than a iphone...I think I was going to miss a good camera, and I thought it was too much. Anyway I have a good few issues with the thing, one being If I click on a link from a RSS feed that opens the (slow) browser, If I then want to contining browsing...a: The bookmarks are disable in Options and b: links don't work within webpages. If I close the browser and close the RSS then open the browser seperatly all is fine.
Has anyone else got he same problem?
Thanks Darren

Metadata on iPod from RSS feed (podcast) - ID3 tags or XML-generated?

Hi,
Does the metadata on an iPod come from the ID3 tags or from the XML-generated content in the RSS feed?
Thanks!

Afterthought:
My experience is generally with tweaking tags to get iTunes to merge feeds but if you are downloading podcasts directly to the iPod it may concentrate on the feed information. Short of running tests with deliberately different information in the feed & the tag it is hard to say.

NSXMLParserError Domain error 26 from RSS feeder

The RSS feeder I got from the App store stopped working today. It has been working perfectly for the last 6 months but now is not refreshing and throwing the above noted error. I am on Mavericks 10.9.5 (with all updates applied). Any ideas as to where I should be looking to resolve this? I have Googled the error but nothing points towards my specific application.
Thank you for any help offered.

Never mind - the problem was one of the feed sources.

OmniPortlet only showing excerpts from rss feed

I have an Omniportlet set up with our internal staff news Wordpress rss feed. The feed is only showing excerpts but I require full text. I know the feed is capable of full text as it works correctly in IE8 and a pdf generator I'm running.

Can anyone tell me how to get the full text to show for each item?
Thanks

If the feed is capable of displaying full text, then you need to modify your filter to read the fulltext and add this cloumn to your layout to display. Can you provide sample xml file (datasource) if you want me to investigate further. Please enclose the xml inside { code } xml { code }
note no space before and after the braces for the 'code'

Flashes White Screen After Opening Link in Tabs from RSS Feed

Hi.
This is a weird glitch/bug that I'm trying to get to the bottom of. It happens very often, that when I open all of my feeds (they are all collected in one folder so I can view them at once) and choose to open a link from one of the feeds in a separate tab, the entire screen becomes white for a second or two before opening the link. I've been searching around and can't find anyone that has a similar problem or has documented it. I would greatly appreciate if I could fix this.
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

My website is on DotMac.
So that people don't have to remember hompage.mac.com/blablabla,.etc.,
I purchasd a domain name from Goddady here;
http://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/default.asp
My new name is, www.tommurrayartist.com When this is typed in, it is redirected to my DotMac address. It was also masked so the tommurrayartist address shows in the address bar.
Apparently Safari can't handle this the way Camino can.
So I unchecked masking in my Godaddy account.
No more flashing with Safari.

In Mail, can see messages from RSS feed but not my e-mail account

Mac OS 10.5.8, Mail 3.6. Turned on the computer and could not see any e-mails, though computer idnicated there were a few waiting for me. Found the messages in finder, but can'r figure out how to get mail to see them. Receieved some RSS ["apple news"] emaages and they show up fine. Tried "rebuiding" & "reindexing" and re-importing to no avail. Any ideas?

Here is the new incoming server info to be changed in the accounts preferences box.
imap.mail.me.com
The old one is mail.me.com
The only possible problem I see is that sometimes the incoming mail server cannot be changed and you might have to create a new account, but I think,and I'm not sure, that this deletes your messages in the mail program, so back up before you try this. Just in case.
Hope this helps.

Mail freezes when updating large RSS feed boxes

This is something I encountered and how I have formulated a work around. I have discovered that Mail will freeze when updating large RSS feed boxes.
A little history. After discovery RSS and how they work, I began building a collection of feeds. They included feeds from many major news providers. Over the years, the number articles form some of these sources went into the thousands.
As my database of articles grew, I encountered more severe and more frequent freezes of the application Mail. I began to take the computer off-line in order to work in these files. But inevitably, a situation would arise that would lead to the Mail application freezing.
Isolation of the issue with Mail and to the RSS boxes within Mail. The freeze would not occur when RSS feeds boxes where collapsed. Also, the freeze only affected the Mail application. Mac OS was not affected and I was able to alway close Mail from with in the Force Quit menu. Also, the Force Quit menu affirmed that Mail was indeed frozen by listing it as also "not responding."
Work around. To resolve this issue, I first choose to remove the number of RSS feed that I had subscribed to but used very infrequently. Second, I choose to delete old feeds from "never" to "every two weeks" from within the Mail preference menu (RSS sub-menu).
I think it took a while for Mail to fully delete messages older than two weeks. In fact, when I began deleting whole feeds, it took some time for those feeds to be removed from my mail box tree. Within the Activity Monitor application, I could see that a lot of disk use was occurring, even though the OS was allowing me to continue to use Mail and other applications.
To assist this process, I took my computer off-line and stepped away from it. Upon my return, the disk use was down to normal, the number of article in many RSS boxes where greatly reduced, and my disk had recovered over a GB of space. Also, Mail seems to be behaving properly, with smooth and quick performance.
If you found this article, I hope the information provided has been helpful! After a quick search in to previous posts, an entirely similar post was not found. However, others are finding the Mail application will freeze, but not necessary for the same reason.

Since I don't want to download any attachments from RSS feeds in Mail.app, is there any way to turn off the attachment download once and for all? I also get the beach ball for minutes when an item has a big attachment, and I fear my HD is cluttered with files I don't use.

RSS feed differences under 10.5.6

We have a dynamic user unique RSS feed being created via PHP, its reliant on php session data.
Under Safari 3.2.1 on 10.4.x when a session is created the link to the RSS works and reads the same session data and creates the RSS feed.
Safari 3.2.1 on 10.5.6 the RSS link generates a new session id, for some reason it does not use the same as Safari. Is there ay fix so that it works the same as 10.4.11
FireFox works on both 10.4.x and 10.5.x
TIA

RSS FEED needed!!

I have built a web based Ms Access Database solution for
real-estate businesses and need to know how to create a RSS / XML
feed for other companies to receive the contents in the database..
Also I don’t want to "feed" all fields in the database due to
sensitive information... Any one that could help me?? I will reward
with a extended profile on my design site (one of Spain’s
Largest).

Not sure if this will be exactly what you're after, but I
have a cheap
extension that enables you to dynamically create an RSS Feed
from a
database.

RSS feed in my page

Greetings,
I am using Java Studio Creator to create my pages and I want to add an RSS feed in certain location of my page, I get three news pulled from the particular site. I use ui script for displaying it, but when the news are displayed on the page it is sprawled over the page and is not confined to the particular section.
Please help me with this issue, how I forma the news from RSS feed into my page.
Regards,
Pranabi.

It seems to me you should be able to confine your news feeds to a specific part of the page with page fragments. The tutorial Using Page Fragments should give you a start. It's located here:
