How to create RSS?

Hey everyone
How do I create an RSS feed with iweb without .mac?
Thanks
Bevan James Eyles

Hi I am having a problem with 'RSS Subscribe' button on http://www.childreninchina.org on all browsers except Safari The website is not published to .mac. The 'RSS Subscribe' button is on the "news & info" page which uses the blog template. The RSS icon appears on the bottom of the page in Firefox and this works - so should I delete the RSS button and leave a text message informing subscribers to look for the RSS icon on their browser? Or is there a fix for a non HTML literate person like me! Cheers
Graham.

How to get rss feeds onto the Journe Air 801 via the external memory card?

I've bought the Journe Air 801 digital photo frame and the manual says "save the rss feed of the album you wish to display in the .rss format and add to the external memory card" but it doesn't say how you create this .rss file or copy it onto your memory card. does anyone know how i can get a picasa rss feed into this format?
I've successfully added a picasa feed manually in the frame but as picasa only updates the rss feed if new galleries are added, not new photos, the photo feed is not updating on the frame so I'd like to alter the rss address.
Thanks

Hi guys,
i will use this thread now also to document my contacts with the toshiba support hotline:
Early December
I called the hotline the first time and told the support guy (#1) the problem.
He promised to look into this and that he would call me back.
I did not get an incident number.
He called me back the same day and told me, they don't have an air 801 to test, just an air 1000.
The air 1000 has a different menu and does support rss without any problems.
He said, he will try to to find an air 801 and get back at me.
A week later
Since there was no response I called again and got a different guy.
I told my story again and the support guy #2 promised to ask support guy #1 when #1 is back in office.
He promised to send me an email and include the incident number.
December 11th
I got an email from #2 saying that he could not find my original request. He did not include the incidient number, although that was promised.
He promised me again that he will get in touch with #1 and ask him for information.
December 18th
I sent #2 a mail asking for current status.
December 28th
I called hotline again and had to wait really long (the prerecorded message at the beginning informed me that support staff was hit by a flu).
So I told support guy #3 my story and this time insisted on a incident number and got one. Unsurprisingly #3 could not find my first two requests.
He promised me to hand this to level 3 support and somebody will get back to me, but probably not within this week. I told him I hope for a response within the next four weeks...
So let's see what will happen next.
Maybe you guys could get in touch with toshiba support in your countries, I have the feeling that this increases the chance of getting a "correct" answer.
Cheers,
Kai

How to Create an XML document from XSQL servlet which follows a particular DTD struct

how to Create an XML document from XSQL servlet which follows a particular DTD structure.Could anyone send me a sample code for this.

You'll need to associate an XSLT transformation with your XSQL page that transforms the canonical result into your DTD-valid format.
For example, given an XSQL page like:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="rss.xsl" ?>
<xsql:query max-rows="3" connection="demo" xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql">
select title,id,description,url,to_char(timestamp,'Mon DD') timestamp
from site_entry
order by id desc
</xsql:query>and an "rss.xsl" stylesheet that looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" doctype-system="rss-0.91.dtd"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="ROWSET/ROW">
<rss version="0.91">
<channel>
<title>Do You XML?</title>
<link>http://xml.us.oracle.com</link>
<description>Oracle XML Website Demo</description>
<language>en-us</language>
<xsl:for-each select="ITEM">

<description><xsl:value-of select="DESCRIPTION"/></description>
</item>
</xsl:for-each>
</channel>
</rss>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>You produce DTD-valid output against the rss-0.91.dtd DTD that looks like:
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE rss SYSTEM "rss-0.91.dtd">
<rss version="0.91">

Creating RSS feeds

How do you create RSS feeds? I am building a school site that

Thanks!

Not sure what you mean exactly.
1) Do you want to create and publish RSS feeds which people
can subscribe
to?
Or 2) do you want to have RSS news feeds appear on your web
site?

Create RSS feed from HTML DB?

I've been using a streaming RSS feed extension in Firefox for several months now and get feeds from all over including asktom.oracle.com and http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/htmldb/index.html. Very cool.
Recently I've installed HTML DB and have begun creating some basic reports - nothing very dramatic as I'm just learning. Now I'd like to begin sending out RSS feeds from my HTML DB application to my RSS extension in my Firefox browser but can't find an easy way to do it.
I see several posts of others wishing to do the opposite (read RSS feeds into their HTML DB application) but nothing that shows how to create a feed from HTML DB.
I looked at Tom's description of his method at http://asktom.oracle.com/~sdillon/rss.html but this seems very cumbersome to me - is there an easier way?
I would think that there should be a "create RSS" feed button somewhere in the HTML DB interface when I'm defining the page's attributes.
Thanks in advance for any advice/suggestions.

Actually, Tom's method is not as hard as it looks.
You can really just copy it all into your own procedure and replace the inner query.

How to produce rss from pl/sql

Hi
I got a requirement to produce rss by using pl/sql, I hearing this first time , is it possible to create if so
please help how to produce rss using pl/slq.
Regards
Sandeep Artham

This would be a sample of RSS:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS#Example
This is about the htp package
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e16760/w_htp.htm#ARPLS70431
And informations about mod_plsql can be found here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/web.1012/b14010/app_a.htm#YPMOD005
everything found with google/tahiti within 5 minutes.
what you need to do is combine the three: use the htp package to print a RSS conform page as shown in the wikipedia article, and access it via the DAD. That simple.
cheers

How to Create the Custom print Quote Report ?

I want to create the custom Print Quote report . I know the below details and referred the below metalinks .

Oracle Metalink:
Note: To add a column to the print quote report, following files need to be updated:
LinesVO.xml --- xml files containing the sql query and attribute definition
LinesVORowImpl.class - public class extending the framework class OAViewRowImpl.
This class contains the set and get for the attributes defined in xml file.
ASOPRINT.xsl - this is the xsl stylesheet file used to describe the report layout.
This file needs to be modified to include the new column being added to the report
QUESTION :
My question is,
1. wether my approach (below iare the details)of trying to extend the PromptVO is the right way or is there any other way to add the new columns.
I want to add new fields on to the report . When i looked into the it says the below
Here we find that to add a new column, oracle says to update the LINESVO.xml, do they really mean to update the base files.
This report uses following VO's
PROMPTVO
HEADERVO,
LINESVO.
To create new Headers & Prompts, i tried extending the PROMPTVO. Once the extended VO is substitued , i dont even get the data for standard oracle Prompts. is this the right way to add columns?
Thanks

How to create a report based on a DataSet programatically

I'm working on a CR 2008 Add-in.
Usage of this add-in is: Let the user choose from a list of predefined datasets, and create a totally empty report with this dataset attached to is. So the user can create a report based on this dataset.
I have a dataset in memory, and want to create a new report in cr2008.
The new report is a blank report (with no connection information).
If I set the ReportDocument.SetDataSource(Dataset dataSet) property, I get the error:
The report has no tables.
So I must programmatically define the table definition in my blank report.
I found the following article: https://boc.sdn.sap.com/node/869, and came up with something like this:
internal class NewReportWorker : Worker
      public NewReportWorker(string reportFileName)
         : base(reportFileName)
public override void Process()
         DatabaseController databaseController = ClientDoc.DatabaseController;
         Table table = new Table();
         string tabelName = "Table140";
         table.Name = tabelName;
         table.Alias = tabelName;
         table.QualifiedName = tabelName;
         table.Description = tabelName;
         var fields = new Fields();
         var dbField = new DBField();
         var fieldName = "ID";
         dbField.Description = fieldName;
         dbField.HeadingText = fieldName;
         dbField.Name = fieldName;
         dbField.Type = CrFieldValueTypeEnum.crFieldValueTypeInt64sField;
         fields.Add(dbField);
         dbField = new DBField();
         fieldName = "IDLEGITIMATIEBEWIJS";
         dbField.Description = fieldName;
         dbField.HeadingText = fieldName;
         dbField.Name = fieldName;
         dbField.Type = CrFieldValueTypeEnum.crFieldValueTypeInt64sField;
         fields.Add(dbField);
         // More code for more tables to add.
         table.DataFields = fields;
         //CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ConnectionInfo info =
         //   new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ConnectionInfo();
         //info.Attributes.Add("Databse DLL", "xxx.dll");
         //table.ConnectionInfo = info;
         // Here an error occurs.
         databaseController.AddTable(table, null);
         ReportDoc.SetDataSource( [MyFilledDataSet] );
         //object path = @"d:\logfiles\";
         //ClientDoc.SaveAs("test.rpt", ref path, 0);
The object ClientDoc referes to a ISCDReportClientDocument in a base class:
   internal abstract class Worker
      private ReportDocument _ReportDoc;
      private ISCDReportClientDocument _ClientDoc;
      private string _ReportFileName;
      public Worker(string reportFileName)
         _ReportFileName = reportFileName;
         _ReportDoc = new ReportDocument();
         // Load the report from file path passed by the designer.
         _ReportDoc.Load(reportFileName);
         // Create a RAS Document through In-Proc RAS through the RPTDoc.
         _ClientDoc = _ReportDoc.ReportClientDocument;
      public string ReportFileName
         get
            return _ReportFileName;
      public ReportDocument ReportDoc
         get
            return _ReportDoc;
      public ISCDReportClientDocument ClientDoc
         get
            return _ClientDoc;
But I get an "Unspecified error" on the line databaseController.AddTable(table, null);
What am i doing wrong? Or is there another way to create a new report based on a DataSet in C# code?

Hi,
Have a look at the snippet code below written for version 9 that you might accommodate to CR 2008, it demonstrates how to create a report based on a DataSet programmatically.

How to create a group calendar?

Hello,
i am sorry but this is one more question on wiki-group-calendars.
*In short:*
I am not able to create a group calendar with the wiki frontend. the calendar that is created with a wiki is owned by the admin of the wiki. So it is always a personal calendar that cannot be shared in iCal.
LONG:
I want to create a group calendar that is viewed and edited through iCal.app and the web service. Apple´s "wiki deployment" guide says on page 57:
+"The web calendar allows you to easily schedule events for yourself or your group. ...+
+There are *two types of web calendars: personal and group*. You can send and receive event invitations through the personal calendar but not through the group calendar. Also, *while anyone in a group can create or edit events in a group calendar*, you can edit only events in your own personal calendar or event invitations you send to other people.+
+The web calendar uses iCal Server to store events and invitations. ..."+
But there is not mentioned how to create a group calendar. The calendar created with the wiki web-frontend belongs to the admin of that particular wiki. This is why the calendar data ist stored in folder named with the UUID of the wiki admin. Also the alias "http://server.fqdn:8008/principals/groups/mygroupname/" which i provided in iCal turns into ..._uids_UUID-of-the-wiki-admin and only the wiki-admin can access this calendar in iCal.app.
My research on this topic reveals that there were in issue that should be resolved in 10.6.4 (that is running on our Server). So, again, how to create a group calendar?
Thanks, Philipp.
10.6.4 OSX Server
10.6.x Clients

you need to go to the wiki page and add the wiki's there and then in the setting of the wiki is where you set permissions and services such as calendar, blog, and podcast you can also set all permissions for the wiki in the settings tab
fyi none of my groups were available unless i logged into the wiki as the Directory Admin not Server Admin
migrated from 10.5.7 to 10.6

Could you be more specific farmer tan, please?
You said "you need to go to the wiki page and add the wiki's there...." What is the "wiki page" you mention? Is that some place I go to via the browser or the Server Admin tool?
I went to http://ical.mysite.com/ical/ and logged in as the Directory Administrator but didn't see anything resembling what you described.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
