Parsing MySpace Blog RSS

Hi All,
I'm trying to grab the RSS feed from a bands
MySpace Blog blog
and display it on a site I am creating for them.
When I create an XML fragment in dreamweaver and try and link
it to the RSS feed from the myspace page
(feed://blog.myspace.com/blog/rss.cfm?friendID=2253702) I get the
following error in the bindings tab "Unable to locate or parse the
xml source".
Does anyone have an idea how to make this work or what I
might be doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!

have you read this tutorial?

Blog rss feed is buggy?

Has anyone had luck creating a blog rss feed? When I look at my rss feed in Safari it shows an small image and text for each entry. When I click on the image, instead of linking to the entry page, Safari opens a full sized image.
You can see this at: feed://rss.mac.com/kevinpackard/iWeb/The%20Packards/690A4A1C-A190-4DF0-B0B2-635 DD508F304/rss.xml
I think it's a bug, but thought I'd run it by the forum here before I file it as a bug with Apple.
Thanks,
Kevin Packard

I had set the webpage URL to www.server.edu/~login/ when I was asked after choosing to publish the site, and when I clicked on the RSS button all I saw was a white screen with some broken images and a few bits of text. When I changed the URL to www.server.edu/~login/blog/rss.xml, it now works correctly.

Blog RSS Feed won't work

In my application if the blog appears on the restricted page where login is required "Subscribe to RSS" link gives the error as below.
Safari can't open the page "feed:xxx.xxxx.xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx/-/blogs/rss". The error is: "The feed could not be loaded because the content is not in a known feed format." (PubSub:2) Please choose Safari > Report Bugs to Apple, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message.
RSS Feed loads correctly in on MAC Firefox.
If the blog appears on the page where login is not required, RSS Feed loads correctly in MAC Safari also.
Is the feed processed differently in both scenarios described above? Is there a way to make it work?

Ok...
You are running 10.6.2 according to your profile. Download and install the v10.6.3 Combo Update
Then repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

Flex 2 Wordpress Blog RSS

I find it EXTREMLY hard to belive, that wordpress doesn't
support the use of Flex2 RSS.
The only reason I find this, is because whenever I try to
call data from my wordpress blog it won't work.
MY OBJECTIVE IS SIMPLE!!!!!
Get the RSS From -
http://grahamtt.wordpress.com/feed/
Parse it into a simple Flex Blog Reader/RSS reader app(All
this is completly done)
Whenever I try to run my app on my computer it works, but on
my server IT DOESNT.
Heres is my COMPLETE code:
Link -
http://pastebin.ca/586156
The reason I use -
http://atom2rss.semiologic.com/?atom=http%3A%2F%2Fgrahamtt.wordpress.com%2Ffeed%2F
instead of -
http://grahamtt.wordpress.com/feed/
Is because Flex 2 doesn't read Atom (as far as I know). And
that's the same thing, I just used the converter here:
http://atom2rss.semiologic.com/
Can somebody PLEASE explain to me how to set up a Proxy
properly? And get my code working?
It's crucial for my job that I find out how to read data from
wordpress blogs in a Flex App.
HELP ME PLEASE!!!!

yea, I've tried that (too what I understand them saying) and
it didnt work.
I downloaded the proxy.php and uploaded it to the directory
of my swf, but it still wont work. I also tried including the php
in proxy.php into the actual page that used the swf, and nothing
worked.

Podcast Problem - how can i add artwork to apple blog rss link

hi,
i create a wiki blog page on our mac server, on the blog page i add video for podcasting and i enable podcast service on wiki settings. Then i take rss link from safari and i subscribe to itunes but when itunes check my link, there isnt artwork and i cant change the rss link code cause of the link generated automaticly from java. What can i do for this problem or how can i add artwork to apple blog servers rss link ?
Thank you

Bonjour,
The rules are simple: one entry = one page
if an article needs several pages, start this article on blog entry then continue with a page made with welcome page template or blank page template.
you can change the link of the buttons "next" and "previous" to visit the pages you choose.
(select the link > inspector > Link > hyperlink > check enable as a hyperlink > choose "one of my pages" ).
Don't include these other pages in navigation menu.
(inspector > Page > Page > uncheck "include page in navigation menu").

Rss:PubDate gives too much info to iWeb Blog RSS feed

Hi All!
Blog pages are setup in iWeb, and I've got an external "bot" that subscribes to the RSS feed from the blog. I'm grabbing the feed and stripping the {rss:pubDate}, {rss:title} and {rss:description} fields from the feed to re-format for posting in a discussion forum. (Note: no copyright issues here, as I write the blog, publish the feed, and host/admin/moderate the forum.)
I'm wondering if the {rss:PubDate} field can be stripped down to include less information in the feed? It seems the PubDate is derived from the date and time of the blog post that's feeding it. ie: I enter 12/28/1993 in the blog entry "Date" field... the RSS feed comes out with the date I entered, AND the time of day and GMT offset the post was created. I don't need the time of day and GMT offset in my forum post headlines... is there any way to put less information into the {rss:PubDate} field via the blog entry page in iWeb? I'd like my {rss:PubDate} field to read "12/28/1993" instead of "12/28/1993 04:23:57 -0800"
Ideas?
-Case

Bonjour
For RSS feed, iWeb only use the URL you write in the Site Publishings settings. Make sure that you've written http://thesnugglycactus.net/ and not https://thesnugglycactus.net/
But I don't really think that you wrote https, otherwise RSS feed would not be your only issue.

IWeb Blog RSS feed no longer updates

When I originally published my iWeb blog to .Mac, the RSS feed contained all 3 posts. Since then the RSS feed hasn't updated, although I've added several new entries to the blog. I've checked the source code of the RSS feed and it only contains the original 3 posts.
Any suggestions for getting the RSS feed to update?

Follow-up post. Strangely, when checking ths RSS feed from IE at work, I see the new posts in the source data of the feed. So this is not an iWeb problem, but probably related to the more general RSS update issues within Safari.

Blogging RSS feeds

Hoping some one can cast some light on this problem. I have this website created in iWeb'08.
I have used a blog section for some news items, however when I click on the RSS feed I get the following error:
Safari can’t open the page “feed://www.belmonthousestud.com/belmontsite/successstories/rss.xml” because it could not load any data from this location.
Now the strangest thing is that link appears to operate fine when clicked in either Firefox 2 or Internet Explorer 7!
I have tried Safari 2 and Safari 3 beta. Strangest thing is that the podcast feed works!
(Link to problem page)
http://www.belmonthousestud.com/belmontsite/success_stories/successstories.html

HAHAHAHAA!!!
I know your problem EXACTLY!!!
Here's what you need to do...
Go to your domain name provider (go daddy?) and have them switch the forwarding to:
web.mac.com/KeithVaugh (or whatever your .mac (apple) log-in name is. If you had the same forwarding before it will have all sorts of ugly stuff after it that isn't needed anymore.
If this is godaddy you'll need to wait about 15 minutes or so after the fact.
Then...
In iWeb08... choose the FILE - Personal Domain settings... this will open your internet browser...
Follow the prompts and CANCEL your personal domain. Don't worry about the warnings. -- if you keep your forwarding on at your domain provider you will still get hits/redirects at the www site.
Quit iWeb and restart
Then at the bottom of iWeb you will no longer see the [email protected] (www.belmonthousestud.com) with the green light... you should only see your email.
All will be good!!!!
Worked for me
Best luck,

IWeb Blog- RSS not updated for new Comments?

Hey gang-
It appears that Comments added to Blog entries on an iWeb site do not appear in RSS updates to that Blog. Is there any way to make them do that?
Thanks!

Myspace Blog Editor Problem

I understand that Myspace isn't Mac-friendly yet, but I have a problem no one else seems to have. When I try to post a blog on my Myspace page, it won't let me open the Advanced Editor because of my "browser/OS." It opens a basic blog editing window which allows you to type, but doesn't let you adjust the font, etc. This problem occurs on both Safari and Firefox. Any ideas?

Hi RobBroad4th,
I use safari for MySpace though I am using v. 2.0.3, that came with 10.4.6 Combo Update. The debug menu might work to better access to the blog. Open Terminal app. Copy & paste the line below just as it is, then you will be prompted for your pswd. Viola debug should appear after help on the task bar in Safari.
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1
& to turn debug off again,
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 0
Good luck!! hope this helps some.

Blog RSS

Hello,
I'm new to the forum, Apple and IWeb. I've been a PC User for too long.
I have made a website and have been working the bugs out for a few weeks, when I can.
The final thing That I have not resolved is to get my little blog, accessible to RSS reader.
Here is the address of the blog,
http://www.alaskacreativetours.com/ACT/Journal/Journal.html
Thank You

Your calendar page "http://www.alaskacreativetours.com/ACT/Calendar.html" is wanting me to login to my google account.
to embed a google calendar I would use an iFrame tag like such (minus the code tags):
<code><iframe src="http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=Your email or account info&ctz=America/Los_Angeles" style="border: 0" width="800" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="yes"></iframe></code>

Suggest Oracle Blogs RSS feed switch to "full content"

I discussed the importance of aggregators delivering "full content" feeds in http://tardate.blogspot.com/2007/08/otn-in-china-and-importance-of.html
I realised that the Oracle Blogs feed does not currently include full text. Can we get the newsfeed enhanced to include full text of posts (or at least as an option)?

I think I may have arrowed the wrong culprit. Seems the problem is with the individual blog authors, not the Oracle Blogs feed, so you can ignore my bleating here!

Parse RSS feed -System.out

Hi,
As below i have been reading RSS feeds.
When i execute the parser.parse(url) method i get a dump of the xml bones from the feed onto System.out, which in my case is a catalina log file.
Is there any way/method that im not aware of that can prevent this going to System.out?
public void readRSSDocument() throws Exception {
        //Create the parser
        RssParser parser = RssParserFactory.createDefault();
        //Parse our url
        Rss rss = parser.parse(
                new URL("http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_world.rss"));
    }output:

I am presuming that you picked up the code from [this tutorial|http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/javaserverpages/rss_utilities/]
Looks like the library was compiled with System.out.println() statements in it.
There is always the handy little method "System.setOut()" to redirect it.
Alternatively, decompile the code, delete/comment the System.out.println statements and then recompile it.
Its not that hard. Here's the offending class:

Need help Loading parsed RSS text

Hi, I have created an AS3 FLA where I am parsing and
displaying RSS text. I have traced the parsed text and displayed
the text into dynamic text boxes on the stage no problem.
However the line breaks in the traced text show up on stage
as well.
How does one strip out the <p> or </r> tags from
the text to make the text one nice long line that will wrap using
the length of the text box as it's parameters?

OK, I have found the answer, thanks all.
var myvar:String = myDynamicText.text;
myDynamicText.text = myvar.split("\r").join(" ");
myDynamicText.text = myDynamicText.text.split("\n").join("
