Recommended Posts

if you are all about webscripting you will now what i am talking about

 

 

 

Icefuzion has now made the first runescape rss feed for users to use to keep up to date with runescape from anywhere(They must have firefox or an rss reader)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

http://www.icefuzion.net/rss/runescapenewsfeed.xml

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ok here is how to do it on Firefox!

 

 

 

you guys who haven't got firefox http://getfirefox.com

 

 

 

now there is two ways

 

 

 

1: (on firefox)click bookmarks>manage bookmarks>(popup screen)file>new livemark...>fill in name as"runescape rss feed"> and fill feed loaction with http://www.icefuzion.net/rss/runescapenewsfeed.xml

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2:

 

 

 

go to icefuzion.net (firefox browser)> click on orange button on bottom right hand corner> save bookmark>done!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

now to read the news:

 

 

 

go to where you saved the bookmark and then click on it, it should then bring up a list of the newest update and then you simply click on the one you want to read about!

 

 

 

simple as that!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

need help post or pm me

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry in advance if i posted in wrong forum/or posting unhealthy material :(

That looks awesome :D However it would be preferable if the news was in reverse (descending) order like most rss feeds :) Can I ask how the news is updated? Is it doen by a script or just whenever the owner of icefusion looks at the news on runescape.com and copies and pastes it?

Very Nice :D!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But yeah, as Cameron said.. firstly... the most recent item should be at the top of the list. And i would also like to know if it is synced from runescape.com or if the rs feed admin has to paste it in himself?

The XML page cannot be displayed

 

 

 

Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

Can this also work in Mozilla? Firefox and mozilla are pretty similar in many aspects, but there appears to be no live bookmarks in my mozilla :(

Runescape: Lodev (Combat level been fixed at 101 for years now, Total level 1500+, playing since march 2002)

Arenascape: Lode (Level 240+ Warlock)

Is this something you guys would support on Tip.it? It most likely wont be online before a couple of months if we deside to make one, but do you think it would be needed, or just a waste of time?

For the Tip.it news... Sorry i didn't make that clear enough...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sure, but a limit of 6-10 items would be great, seeing as it's not too long in the firefox bookmarks tab

If you use the firefox bookmarks tab to store it..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You click on the bookmark and a drop down list appears, ideally with 10 or so items. You can then choose one of those links in the dropdown and goto that page. It requires little to no updating on your end, so you can check a feed in teh morning and get different content than in the afternoon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pretty spiffy.

can be made easily depending that all the news post has the same template. it is quite easy to do it with php to.

 

 

 

here is what you can do

 

 

 

<?







header("Content-type: text/xml");



header("Pragma: public");



header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");







?>

 

 

 

put that on top of the php page

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

now you need to declare the main title of the RSS

now you do your usual php while which continues looping into these field below

 

 

 




[color=red]query title here[/color]



[color=red]query link here[/color]



[color=red]the post here[/color]

 

 

 

now close the whole script with this

Or, if the server supports php 5, you could just use a DOM (which can be easier in some cases)
