display feed on a web page

Post by guest »

I know this may sound trivial to most but I am really having a time with it.

How do you display the XML 'feed' from you blog on a web page as 'artiles'? All I can seem to get is I suppose the 'raw' feed with all the coding in it, etc.

I searched here before I posted and could not find any reference.

Thanks

Not sure if that's what you want: To get the RSS XML Feeds of your Serendipity blog, just call http://yourblog/rss.php and it show show up. The icons/links for that are in the "Syndication" sidebar plugin as well.

Is that what you mean?

Thanks.

Sorta kinda. I want the feed to be displayed as articles (title, description) on the webpage instead of the raw feed. (tags, code, etc)

All I can figure out to do is display the link as:
<a href="http://yourblog/rss.php">yourblog</a> which does not display anything except "yourblog" until you click on it and then it displays all the formatting and tags, etc instead of only the title and description or article..

Thanks.

It seems that what you want to use is our "RSS/OPML feed" sidebar plugin. That one reads foreign RSS feeds and displays them in the sidebar.

You don't need to display your own feed in your own blog - that's what the HTML view is for...?!

Thank you Garvin,

Okay I have blog on domain1 and I want to display the feed or more precisely **articles** on domain2. I know how to get the feed address I just cannot make it display ***articles*** instead of the feed. (raw data)

I thank you for you help but I am sorry I cannot explain this good.

Thanks.

Does a second Serendipity installation exist on domain2? Or is domain2 just some "other webspace"?

With a different Serendipity installation you just need to use the RSS/OPML sidebar plugin and give it the feed address of your blog1.

With a "some other webspace" solution you need to create your own RSS parser to list entry. Onyx RSS, MagPieRSS and consorts are used for that.

Couldn't find the onyx rss but I think the magpierss I think is what I need.

Thank you.
