RE: [ cf-dev ] XML/RSS Feed

[Rich Wild]

Title: Message

well, my site, funjunkie has several feeds including RSS 0.91 and 2.0 (and wddx). Its very very easy to create a feed - they're just textfiles, so you just copy the format and change what you need.

 

I've created a coldfusion template that writes the rss page and then scheduled it to create the raw news.rss files so that a CF page isn't run everytime someone grabs the feed, which with modern aggregators happens quite a lot.

 

Feel free to nick the format, follow http://www.funjunkie.co.uk and then the feeds are at the bottom of the page. The copy for each post item has its HTML formatting removed in my versions.

Subject: [ cf-dev ] XML/RSS Feed

Hi guys

 

I've had a new call come through. Details are as follows:

 

- Investigate possibility of exporting website data as an XML/RSS feed to other (selected) websites

 

Not too sure of the finer details. We are on CF5 and use Paperthin's CF based content management system where all data is stored in Commonspot's defined DB tables.

 

I have absolutely no exposure to XML or RSS and need some advice if this sort of thing is possible and where to start looking? Have read a couple of intros to XML/RSS to get a bit of backgound but as I say, I am completely new.

 

Would greatly appreciate any advice you can give me.
