Release 15- RSS feed

I dont know how many of you guys have seen release 15 yet but i have got access to it on our Staging instance.
They have included a feature of RSS feed on the home page .
i had a question on this . The Rss feed which we are using is from a website which allows the user to view feeds only after logging on to the website.
I have included the url of the RSS Feed on the home page of Siebel and can view the news website on my home page .
I was wondering is there a way where i can supply the user name and password in the URL itself so that the users are directly logged on to the news website as soon as they login in to Siebel CRM ?

You can try putting the URL of that RSS feed into your browser directly, then try logging in to that website. After logging in, if the URL in the browser now includes the username and password, then it means that the website accepts those URL parameters. You can then use the full URL including the username/password in your RSS feeds configuration.
Otherwise, logging into the RSS feed from On Demand would not be possible at this time.

Is there an RSS feed that I can refer to when new versions of FireFox are released?

We need to manage firefox updates from a central location but can't use automatic updates for auditing purposes. Auditors like to see a trail of updates being reviewed, tested and then finally being pushed out to the rest of the system. Is there some RSS feed or specific email subscription where I will see only when a new major or minor version of FireFox for desktop is released?

Getting your RSS feed to work without .Mac

OK, so there have been a few people asking about this and I have figured out a way around it. I must warn you it is not a simple solution, but if you are comfortable using Text Edit to modify the code of your pages, it is a piece of cake - but still fairly tedious. If anyone has a quicker solution, please let us know! I would love to come up with an apple script to automate this process, but that takes time...
The reason Apple says you can only use the RSS subscribe feature by using a .Mac account is because iWeb creates an additional directory that those of us using 3rd party servers don't use. They do this to separate multiple iWeb sites on your .Mac account. When you publish to a file, that extra directory is the parent folder that you extract each page's file from to load to your public_html folder on your server, so you end up not using that iWeb site folder.
For example, in publishing to .Mac, I will find my Blog rss.xml file on my iDisk under Web/Sites/iWeb/BookEndMedia/Blog/rss.xml, creating the URL of http://web.mac.com/audiogeek/BookEndMedia/Blog/rss.xml. In publishing to my 3rd party server with domain www.bookendmedia.com, that file is found in public_html/Blog/rss.xml, creating the URL of http://www.bookendmedia.com/Blog/rss.xml.
The problem arises in iWeb's creation of the rss.xml file, blog-main.xml file, and blog-archive.xml file, which are all located in the Blog folder. Each of these files create links to the Entries files and jpegs, and in doing so adds the BookEndMedia directory, which is does not exist in our 3rd party server.
The way I found to fix this is after publishing and before uploading to open all 3 files mentioned above in Text Edit, hit Command F to find and replace all instances of "/BookEndMedia/" with "/", removing the extra directory from all links.
There is however one more glitch I found that has nothing to do with the extra directory. These .xml files that iWeb creates look for all jpegs from each entry in the Media folder. iWeb now stores these files in the same folder as the blog entry. Instead of changing each link in the .xml files, I simply copied each jpeg into the Media file.
After doing all this I now have a functioning RSS feed that any RSS reader can subscribe to and even see the pictures. The only problem is every time I post I have to go through all this again with each .xml file and copying the new entry's jpeg into the Media folder.
Hopefully Apple will come up with a way for iWeb to distinguish if you are publishing to a folder and write the appropriate code for creating these .xml files. Until then, we will have to do these extra steps to get what we want - or we can come up with an Apple Script to save us some time (anyone?).
In the mean time I will count my blessings in the fact that thanks to iWeb I only have to modify 3 .xml files and not write code for every single page of my site.
Hope this helps, and if anyone has any suggestions, please let us know!
And please feel free to give me feedback on my site.
Thanks!

Firefox 13.0+ bookmarked RSS feeds won't auto refresh

Hello. Since Firefox 13.0 and above (up to the latest 17 pre alpha nightly) the feature that allows your bookmarked RSS feeds to be automatically updated is GONE. Previously popular browser.bookmarks.livemark_refresh_seconds (I had to enter this value) either broken or does not exist in the latest FF versions, it is simply does not work.
I've tried everything, starting from disabling add-ons to safe mode but nothing helps in solving this problem. Could you please tell if this is a bug or this feature is no longer supported in Firefox so I can stop bothering and switch to another browser
Best Regards

Yes, you now need to refresh the live feed items manually because live feeds now work as regular bookmarks.<br />
Only the initial loading is automatic the first time you open a live feed bookmark.

[Safari 3.2.1] Authenticated RSS Feeds Don't Remember Password

Hello there,
I am using Safari 3.2.1 on OS X 10.5.6. Machine is a 2.5 ghz Core 2 Duo MBP. For work, I use a number of RSS feeds that use authentication - I think HTTP basic auth. The feeds themselves are HTTPS, so the URLs look like:
feed:https://foobar.com/etc
The issue is that Safari won't retain keychain access for these feeds between restarts. So I open Safari, and the feed shows no new articles on the bookmark bar. I click on the bookmark, and I am prompted for the username and password. I check the box that says "add to keychain," and the feed continues to work as long as I'm running Safari. Shutting it down clears the cached credentials though, and then I am prompted again - even though I added the password to the keychain. When I open keychain access, I see a stored password for:
https://foobar.com
Any ideas? This is really hurting my workflow with RSS feeds for my job.

For your own sanity's sake and future sake of your system, you should run a disk block check using Apple Hardware Test, TechTool Deluxe or Pro, or DiskWarrior, whichever you have available.
The disk I/O error is a real phenomenon - there was a disk error reading a block on the disk.
By deleting the file in question, the bad block was released back into the free disk block pool, meaning it will show up in some other file in the future if it's actually a physical bad block on the disk.
What's more likely is that it was a block written with a bad checksum, which means the bad block will correct itself the next time that block on the disk is written to, so you may not see it again even if you use one of the disk tools I mentioned above.
But it's always good to test to make sure it isn't a physical bad block that will come back to haunt you when some other file on your system uses that disk block.

Safari and RSS Feeds

I can't access any RSS feed in OS X 10.8, and maybe other things as well. I tried to access RSS feeds and was given an error saying that there was no application for it. I tried accessing iTunes 25 New Releases and got the same error message. I have just moved to 10.8 in the last 2 days and this is the first time that I have tried to access these so I can't think of anything that I might have done that would have affected the system negatively.

RSS Feed Of New Movie Rentals (UK)?

Hi,
Does anyone know of an RSS feed that tracks new Movie Rentals added to the UK iTunes Store? It would be really to automatically be notified when any movies are added, instead of having to manually browse the store, looking out for changes.

That would be a great idea. I do wish apple would sort out there listings Apple TV wise though. There aren't many movies listed incorrectly but I was just browsing my Apple TV now and found 'Jumper' which was released on DVD today in the HD rental section. It also lists 'Juno' and other movies released last week as HD rentals which they're not.
While I love my Apple TV it's becoming annoying to see movies I'd love to rent - only to click on them and find they've been incorrectly listed

Digital Signage & RSS feeds

Hi all
I'm doing some tests with Cisco Digital Signage, more specifically with the Digital Media Designer and RSS feeds.
When I create a so called Box and link a RSS Ticker to that box, I cannot change the font size. The text is to big, and only one line at a time appears. Is it possible to change the font size (and type), and to show a whole a whole item of the subscribed feed in stead of word by word (yes, if the box is not full screen, sometimes only one word at a time is visible...)?
For your info: I'm using DMM version 1.1
Many thanks in advance.

Believe me, I understand your frustration. I don't think the DMP firmware will help. We were very frustrated with the DMD and its limitations also. I don't think you will get more than a single line of a RSS feed. Try making the box smaller see if the font size adjusts when deployed.
Truthfully this was the first iteration of the DMD so its still very clunky in its first release. In late June the 5.0 version is due to be released. I understand that there is going to be a much needed re-design of the DMM GUI and the DMD will also see some improvements. Hopefully this issue will be addressed.
FYI...We are not using the DMD at this time because of issues just like what you have described. We got very frustrated with it and gave up. We are still building Sign apps for Cisco DMPs with HTML. The DMD was just to painfull.

XSL stylesheet transformation of RSS feeds

Does Safari support XSL transformation of RSS feeds? Or does it always override XSL with its own RSS reader format? Details below:
I'm starting to mass-produce RSS feeds for our organization. We just want one file for each purpose which can be universally used in RSS readers, iTunes/other podcatchers, and web browsers. I created an XSL stylesheet for it which works perfectly in Internet Explorer, Opera, and Firefox (current release, anyway!), but Safari always adds the "feed://" prefix and displays it with its blue RSS reader format. Is there no way around this? If I take out the the <rss version="2.0"> header, it works, but then iTunes won't accept it.
Do I have to produce two separate files, the first without the RSS notation for Safari's sake, and the second with the notation for iTunes? That seems like an unnecessary step for us, and confusing for our users. Is there any way around this? I couldn't find any support documents that addressed this directly. Thanks -- Jim

You're getting a URL like this:context.getResourceAsStream("/Web-Inf/viewStudentDetails.xsl")and it looks like the MalformedURL exception is complaining about it. So my first step would be to look at it and see what's wrong with it.

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.

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.

RSS feed doesn't give date of new post

Hi,
I use Firefox/Sage to check what's new in the Oracle planet with RSS feed.
All works fine, exept for new posts in all forums, I haven't the date of posting.
For other center, like "Oracle Press Releases" for example, I have the date of new posts. The problem exists only for posts coming from forum.
Nicolas.

Hi Justin,
Thanks for answering.
In the link which you gave, there are two date tag (as for all forum's rss) : creationDate and modificationDate, but there is not output into RSS feed screen.
In the link below (oramag rss), there is only one date tag : pubDate, and this date is output as well on the rss field.

Java announce mailing list/rss feed available?

I am looking for a newsletter/mailing list/rss feed about java announcements that is low noise and low traffic.
What I need is a notification as soon as a new patch release of the Java SDK gets released.
For other technologies I use, these are usually the announce lists/news groups. But even after googling and searching in SDN for some time, I could not find such a list/feed for java.
Any hints/pointers to what I am looking for?
Thanks for any help

It is less my desire to GET the new releases - but I want to KNOW about new releases and the bug fixes and enhancements incorporated.

Can Flickr RSS feeds be viewed?

So I know that Flickr photos can be used on AppleTV now. Any word on how that's actually done? Anyone know if you can specify an RSS feed? I'd like to be able to view photos by one particular user who's tagged specific photos with a keyword and use an RSS feed to view these photos.
Thoughts?

No one can really answer that until the SU is released, there is certainly no mention of RSS feeds on the promotional stuff  are feeding us, my guess would be no but who knows.

When I try to read my rss-feed through yandex service, the browser and the whole system freeze for a significant amount of time. This started with Firefor 5 and is very unpleasant. Thank you in advance.

When I try to download (and especially renew) a page with my rss-feed that I read with Yandex service, the browser freezes, and then the whole system freezes. It typically takes about 5-7 minutes to load a very minimalistic page, and I can't use my browser or my system during that time.
This started with the release of Firefox 5. I use it on Ubuntu. I haven't experienced similar problems with any other websites.
I have already contacted the Yandex team about the matter.
I guess it's just a little weird that one of the Yandex services won't work in Firefox, as Firefox comes with a built-in yandex-bar in many cases. And it sure is frustrating.
Thank you very much and I am looking forward to your reply.
