Rss feed display

hi i am using action script 2.0
i have a url to a RSS feed, can someone tell me how to
display the contents of the url in a textarea.
many thanks

An RSS feed is XML - you will have to parse the XML (see the
XML class) and
display the contents... no way to automagically do it.

  • RSS feed displaying all items as viewed.

    Previously I was running a version of Firefox 13 and upgraded today to 16.0.1 and since then all my RSS feeds display all links as read (orange icon instead of grey icon) which isn't a desired state for them to be in. Even if new things show up in the feed, they still appear orange and no change happens if I open the links.

    Are you using the default theme?
    If you have a custom theme then that theme nay not support the RSS feed status properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • RSS feeds display question

    Is there a way to change the layout of the RSS articles? For example, I would like for it to look like the Sage extension for Firefox, which lays out the info in a newspaper 2 column format.
    Is this possible? If so, how? Thanks!

    Hi-
    I have not seen any 3rd party program designed to reformat the RSS feed display within Safari. Apple does not offer any way to change the format either.

  • RSS Feeds display in Flash but not browser

    I have a Flash application that pulls an RSS feed and
    displays the top 5 titles and descriptions. Everything works fine
    when I test the application in Flash but when I try to publish the
    file I get the security msg in IE (To help protect your security,
    Internet Explorer has restricted this webpage from running scripts
    or ActiveX controls that could access your computer...blah blah).
    When I test in Firefox the movie clips containing the feeds
    simply don't appear (everything else does though). I'm using an
    external class file to parse the xml from the feeds and populate
    the movie clips with the content. Is there another way I should be
    doing it, or is there a publish setting I'm unaware of that will
    block external content from being displayed in the player?
    Any advice would be appreciated - thanks!

    sorry :(
    just figured some people would only check certain favorite parts of the forums

    _gfx = (Graphics2D)myPanel.getGraphics();

    drawThread = new DrawThread( gfx );
    _drawThread.start();

  • EVERY SINGLE RSS FEED displays "Live Bookmark Feed Failed to Load" and then THEY LOAD...

    Every single time I add an RSS feed as a live bookmark and view it, the top of the feed list displays a "Live Bookmark Feed Failed to Load" error... Followed by all of the NEWEST entries in that RSS feed.
    So why the hell is it saying they failed to load every single time I open a live bookmark when they are actually loading?
    I have deleted my live bookmarks and re-added them only to get the same error.
    It makes me sad that my favorite web browser is going down the toilet. Won't be more than a month or two before you get taken down by Chrome according to general web trends... Give it a year and if you don't fix all the broken crap in FireFox it will end up as the "NEW IE6" in a year or two...
    I love how the top dog in any category of business goes down the toilet as soon as the idiot board and bureaucrats get involved.

    You can try to create a new Latest Headlines bookmark by visiting this website:

  • The system Pages library and its RSS feed do not work properly in SharePoint 2010

    This question is about RSS feed for the system 'Pages' library in SharePoint 2010.
    Now there are 5 'News' pages in the system 'Pages' library. In each news page there is one field called 'Title' for the news title. One of the news page is named 'FileNamePage5.aspx', and the news title is 'This is the title of page5'.
    I have enabled RSS in Site Settings, and configured RSS Settings for the 'Pages' library from the Communications section via Document Library Settings. I selected a few columns to display in the RSS description, including the 'Title' column. In the RSS feed
    (XML file) of the system 'Pages' library, I checked the XML source code, and found the news page file name appearing in the <title> tag below within the feed (XML source code).
     <title>FileNamePage5</title>
    and the original news title 'This is the title of page5' was appearing in the <description> tag in the feed (XML sorce code)
     <description><![CDATA[<div> ... This is the title of page5... </div>]]></description>.
    This would make it hard to extract ONLY the original news title (This is the title of page5) out of the feed via XSLT, because the data within the <description> tag in the feed also contains data from all other selected columns defined via the RSS
    Setting. If I did not select the 'Title' column via RSS Setting above, I even could not find the orinigal news title in the RSS feed.
    This is happening for all other news pages in the system 'Pages' library. Is this what SharePoint 2010 normally does? or is something wrong with the settings for site or the system 'Pages' library?
    How to display ONLY the original news title (This is the title of page5) in the <title> tag in the RSS feed. Please Help me to resolve this issue.
    谢亚军@Sydney

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to display the value in Title column of Pages library in title tag in RSS Feed in SharePoint.
    I tested the same scenario per your post, the title tag in RSS Feed displayed the value of Name column in libraries and displayed the value of Title column in lists.
    It is by design and there is no OOB way to change the default column mapping in RSS Feed.
    I recommend to customize your own RSS Feed style sheet to make the title displays the value of Title column in SharePoint libraries.
    Here is a link about customizing the RSS Feed for document library for you to take a look:

    Best regards.

  • How to display a simple rss feed?

    Hi,
    I've build a simple application that has a httpservice called rss that calls "http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/GlobalBusiness.xml" and retrieves the rss feed. Under test operation I can see it returning the feed.
    When the init() function is called the httpservice is called and passed to a datagrid.
    However, when I run it I get the following fault.
    Security error accessing url
    Destination: DefaultHTTP
    In the console I get the following messeage:
    Warning: Domain www.nytimes.com does not specify a meta-policy.  Applying default meta-policy 'master-only'.  This configuration is deprecated.  See http://www.adobe.com/go/strict_policy_files to fix this problem.
    Error: Request for resource at http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/GlobalBusiness.xml by requestor from http://localhost:8888/Newsroom-debug/Newsroom.swf/[[DYNAMIC]]/4 is denied due to lack of policy file permissions.

    [Unload SWF] /Newsroom-debug/Newsroom.swf
    I have checked different posts online and in this forum describing crossdomain.xml and settings in the flash player global settings to resolve this issue, but I can for some reason not get it to work.
    I want to be able to take rss feeds from any site and display them in a simple datagrid?
    Any suggestions?
    Below is the application code.
    Br,
    Karsten!

            </mx:DataGrid>
    </s:Application>

    OK.
    Tried out your suggestion and it works!
    Thanks saisri2k2
    1) I created an http service which calls a php file:
    <mx:HTTPService
                id="rssNewYorkTimes"
                url="php/newyorktimes.php"
                result="rssNewYorkTimes_resultHandler(event)"
                resultFormat="e4x" />
    2) The php file then gets the feed and passes it back to the rssNewYorkTimes_resultHandler:
    <?php
      $feed = 'http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/GlobalBusiness.xml';
      $rawfeed = @file_get_contents($feed);
      print $rawfeed; 
    ?>
    3) the resulthandler then processes the feed and puts it in an arraycollection that can be passed to the datagrid:
    protected function rssNewYorkTimes_resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
                    var xmlList:XMLList = event.result.channel.item as XMLList;
                    for each(var item:XML in xmlList)
                        rssCollection.addItem({title: item.title, description:item.description, source:item.link});
                    buildRss();
    Thanks also to Chris Black for his post which explains in detail how this trick is done!

  • Certain RSS feeds do not display in scrolling Omniportlet

    I've been attempting to get some RSS feeds implemented in our portal with mixed results. I am using portal and PDK versions 10.1.2.0.0. I am using a slightly modified version of the XSL file available here (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/portal/viewlets/omniportletnews.xsl) as I've added pubDate as a field.
    Some feeds, like NPR's top stories (http://www.npr.org/rss/rss.php?id=1001) will scroll fine, though others, like the FDA's news feed (http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/news/rssPress.xml) give an empty portlet frame. Both of these feeds display when the portlet layout is set to Plain.
    Is there a trick that I'm missing?
    Jeeg

    If you go to http://www.portaltown.com, under Demos\Dash and Demos\Dash Editor you can see an RSS feed aggregator that provides graphical layout for a portal page. This provides an extremly simple way to grab feeds and publish them with dynamic parameters (height,width,positon,scrollers,etc..) which can be user defineable if elected. It can also be integrated with OID for user and group access. It is built with Java and Oracle libraries and is totally free for download with source included. Portaltown can also help with the integration into your enviornment if desired to ensure successful integration.

  • Display RSS feed from external site on my page

    HI,
    I need to know if it is possible with CFMX7 to grab rss feeds
    from a remote location and just display it on my site?
    How to?

    well, cf8 has a new <cffeed> tag... and though i have
    not ever needed to
    use it (i prefer to create my feeds manually), it is
    *supposed to* make
    creating and consuming (readin) rss and atom feeds a
    breeze... but
    judging by many a blog posts, it is not without bugs...
    google <cffeed>, and check out ray camden's blog at
    coldfusionjedi.com
    for many posts on this tag
    but there is really nothing stopping you from using
    <cfhttp> + <cfxml>
    tags in cf7 to achieve what you want...
    as for porting cf7 apps to cf8 - it is usually painless, but
    depending
    on the complexity of your server/hardware configuration, it
    may require
    close attention to minute details
    just to check if you code runs fine in cf8, there is a code
    analyser
    available in cf admin.

  • Dashcode Web Widget - RSS feed only displays in Safari

    Created a simple web widget in dashcode (my first experience with it) and when I deploy to the web it only works correctly in Safari. The RSS feed does not display in Explorer or Firefox. Having trouble getting it work on a windows computer and across browsers...any ideas?
    http://www.divergingsoul.com/
    Thank You

    We were able to work around this by using jQuery to write the data we wanted into the RSS output into the "Item Description" field.  And we just didn't use the "Item Description" field in the detail page at all... it worked out pretty good for us...

  • I just wanted to know how to stop loading of rss feeds automatically ? In prior to FF 11 the rss feeds would display if there was no internet connection

    I just wanted to know how to stop loading of rss feeds automatically ? In prior to FF 11 the rss feeds would display if there was no internet connection but now in newer version it would say live bookmark failed to load and doesn't display any feeds, in previous version it would atleast display feeds but in newer version it won't display anything:(

    hello Nitin1234, the handling of live bookmarks was changed quite fundamentally starting in firefox 13 & upwards in order to improve the overall performance of the browser - now rss feeds won't get updated in the background anymore but will only be fetched when you're actively accessing them. this is probably leading to the unwanted side-effect that you're experiencing, unfortunately i don't know any way around that.
    nevertheless please [[Update Firefox to the latest version|update firefox to the latest version]] (16.0.1 at the moment) to stay secure on the web, since there have been many [https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html highly critical vulnerabilities fixed] since firefox 11/13!

  • HAVi Widget to display RSS feeds using Nanoxml parser

    I have got an assignment of developing a HAVi widget to display RSS feeds using the NanoXML parser. I am a beginner in JAVA tv concepts and is stuck with this problem on how to start!
    Can please someone help?

    Havi widgets are lightweight components. You could start by creating a Havi widget extending HComponent and overriding paint method. For the initial urpose, try using some dummy text to fill in your widget. You can later experimenting with the XML parser and query it to dislay the actual text you would want to (remember to get rid o the dummy text).

  • Display an rss feed from a third party site?

    Hi there
    I'm wondering if anyone has any experience or ideas on how one would display a feed (rss or similar) - in this case for publications - from a clients other site into a BC site. I know this can be done on a php based site in several ways (magpie being one).
    Is this something that could be accomplished using js in a relaible way?
    Many thanks for any thoughts or suggestions!
    Gar

    I've used jFeed before to some great effect: https://github.com/jfhovinne/jFeed/archives/master
    It's a jQuery plugin.  The bad news is those RSS feeds won't have any SEO value since javascript happens on the client side and search engine robots won't see the outputted feed from the javascript.

  • Having problem at displaying RSS Feed

    Hi,
    I am having problem in displaying the RSS feeds at the Global homepage applet in Single tenant Pod. Are there any special settings required/ or could there be any restrictions? I tested the same in one of the multi-tenant pods and is working fine at the same network. However facing issue in displaying the same at Single tenant pod.
    Sample feed that I am trying to check: http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml

    It doesn't show me any error message, it just displays the blank screen. Waited until the complete page loads, however still the same blank screen. When I access the same link in different tab (Not in OnDemand), can see the screen. What could be the problem?
