Hi all,
I need to make a forum like thing that parses RSS feeds looking for
keywords and then getting the content linked to in the feed and post it on
the forum for others to comment on.
I want to do this is a number of stages.
Firstly I would like to put the keyword filtered feed in the website in HTML
and allow users to vote on the relevance of the item and/or post the item
along with there own comments.
I will be working with a number of feeds that go to different sections of
the website. In some cases I will have to join feeds together.
The feeds themselves don't contain the content that will end up on the site
but rather the feeds have links to the content.
My first step will be to build the scripts that join RSS and then cache the
linked content in the local file system or a database.
The second step is to filter the content but allow me to see what it is
selecting.
The third step is to drop the content into the website.
I was thinking of using something like phpbb and adding the extra scripting.
I don't want to reinvent the wheel.
Any pointers would be welcome. I have not used the php XML functions but I
am confident that I will not have too much trouble with them as I am used to
XML itself.
Does anyone see any shortcuts I can take as most of this must have been done
before.
Thanks, Rob.
