?Placement in website

Guest

Reading your information it appears that you always create a template. I see how that can be placed in a new page, but I am interested in inserting RSS feeds in existing pages (websites). Will I be able to insert the template (feeds) exactly where I want them in existing websites/pages using this software?

Thanks,
John

You have a couple of options. In either case you will want to create a template that generate a HTML TABLE instead of a full webpage. Take a look a the 'BasicHtmlTable.html' sample template that comes with FeedForAll.

You could then use FeedForAll's export feature to export your feed to a table, using that template. In your HTML editor you could then paste that table into your webpage.

The other option would be to use our free rss2html.php script. Using the same template as above, and a server-side include in your webpage, your feed could be automatically inserted into an existing webpage.

Thanks. I have several php applications on the server. Thought I read somewhere that Apache cannot parse SSI and PHP...it's one or the other. That correct?

It works fine on most servers (many running Apache), so I would have to say no, that isn't correct.

Hi,

Could you explain in further deatils how it's possible to use a html table in a webpage to display the feed, using your php script.

Thanks

I just posted some documentation for the script here:

http://www.feedforall.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=860#860

It has an example using a table.

Hope this helps.

OK, so if you use the table template, what do you need to put here , is it the name of the existing webpage with the table template inside?

Syntax:
http:///rss2html.php?XMLFILE=&TEMPLATE=&MAXITEMS=

Think I am right, as the variables, would just be found by the script as they would in a normal webpage.

Yes. should be the full URL to the webpage with the table template inside it.
