?Couple of questions about FFA and RSSMesh before buying

Hi all,

I hope this was not the wrong place to post and I also hope a little bit understading, because sometimes running through press releases and FAQs don't is a bit hard for a foreigner. I just need some one to "bend it from an iron wire" as we say around here.

1) I'm looking for a software which would enable me doing something like Newsnow. I need to combine some feeds and then make them sort with time like in the Newsnow example.

2) I need to make some banners from XML feeds I have received from a large betting company. They basically have all the odds from that company in one big sheet. Is it possible to us FFA or some of the extensions to make this kind of search so that it would print to a table for example all the odds from a certain match?

If FFA is not able to do this - could you please let me know where to find this kind of software(s). If I have explained something so that you don't understand what I mean, please reply and I'll try to be more specific.

RSSMesh will enable you to take the items from several different feeds and merge them into on RSS feed. This will then allow you to use something like rss2html.php to display the new feed as a webpage. Rss2html.php is very flexable on how it can display the feeds, because it uses template that you can design/modify. Whether the two togeter will do exactly what you have in mind, is kind of hard to say.

Your best bet would probably be to just make up a sample feed with FeedForAll, and then play around with rss2htm.php to see if your can get the info formatted the way you want.
