Hi,
I would like to know how i can syndicate the last 10 forum posts to my own default.asp page. Should I use one of the many available java-scripts to display RSS feeds in htlm pages, or is there a better way. If that is the way to do it, I will suggest that webwiz provides such a script, to display the RSS feed from the WWforum app.
Looking forward to the final WWF v.8 release - good job borg

This is something that has not been looked into yet. There is an XSLT style sheet in the forum with a javascript file that may help you make such an integration. |

Thanks - I'll look into it.
However I think you should consider making a RSS2HTLM script from WWF, as most of the javascripts around comes with an add on it, and I would consider it more appropriate to have an WWF add, instead of some other add's when the feed is from a WWF. Just an idea ..
Regards

I've not finished the RSS yet. Although the XSLT style sheet allows online viewing on the RSS feed in a browser it is no-one near completion yet. I have a book on XML that covers RSS in one chapter, but it's not allot, so I just waiting for a big book on RSS and ATOM, as well as a book on XSLT to come through from Amazon, then I'm going to start really building some stuff for web Wiz Forums with RSS. I think I would rather use XSLT to transform the XML into XHTML instead of javascript for a mod to feed the RSS to another page on a site as this is what XSLT is built to do. I have a new XSLT style sheet up on the site today, if you click the RSS XML link on the forums main index page in IE6 or Firefox you should see it in action. If I get carried away I may even make a standalone RSS online viewer using XSLT to view RSS Feeds. The present XSLT style sheet already does the processing to turn the XML into XHTML so what you need is already within Web Wiz Forums, you just need to mod it to your own needs. |

At me a question to Borg. Why script RSS of news works so slowly? At choice TOP 10 speed of performance in a browser makes last 10 messages about 8-10 seconds ! And if to make TOP 50 how much strongly speed of its work can decrease? ------------- Чем дальше в лес, тем толще партизаны |

I'm looking into the speed issue, but from what I can see so far it is not the SQL (which processes in less than 0.02 seconds) that is coursing the issue as the speed issue is very random. I believe the speed issue maybe down to loading in the RSS, XML, or XLST namespace which comes from a remote server. More tests will need to be done to find the course of this. |

RSS feed page has a bug when displaying website logo image, on top of page. In rss_forum_feed.asp line 230 should be:
..as it were adding extra / plus a path to the forum's root, that is not the case of image correct address, if it is located in other folder on website, that was correctly enterred in forum config by admin.
ie: /images -- which is at the root of the website, but not under forum's folder.

I have noticed one interesting law. RSS the tape very slowly works here: http://forums.webwiz.net/rss_forum_feed.asp - http://forums.webwiz.net/rss_forum_feed.asp
I here for example generation occurs instantly!
http://forums.webwiz.net/rss_forum_feed.asp?FID=14 - http://forums.webwiz.net/rss_forum_feed.asp?FID=14
There can be a reason consists in absence of parameter FID=хх ? ------------- Чем дальше в лес, тем толще партизаны |

Greetings: I just wanted to pop in with a single comment regarding the RSS development. Though I know it is being worked on, I found a minor bug that may need to be addressed in rss_forum_feed.asp. If the variables strRssChannelTitle or strForumName contain an ampersand, the XML parser breaks down with malformed code. I didn't run the variables with the filters, but I found that replacing an ampersand with "&038;" will still fail, but "&" will not (I used the replace function). Just thought I'd throw that out there if that hasn't been identified yet. |

There is a problem with display of some words in RSS to a tape. Or it not a problem? ------------- Чем дальше в лес, тем толще партизаны |

| Thanks Ritchie, I have seen this myself and hope to have the chance to look into this weekend when I improve the XSLT style sheet for the RSS Feeds. |

How do we correct this for our own sites? I tried to retrieve the http://syndication.webwiz.net/rss_namespace/ - http://syndication.webwiz.net/rss_namespace/ file but it comes up 404. Any ideas? I would like to keep it branded.

This post was from a beta version from last March and all these changes are available in the latest 8.03 version. The Web Wiz Forums own names space is required for the part <WebWizForums:feedURL> as this is not part of the RSS name space, but XML standards require that you place in some link to a document that explains what is in the name space, however, this document which you mention doesn't have to actual exist. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |
