?rss not displaying in my web page

Im having problems displaying the rss feeds within my webpage.

I changed to rss link to the one I want to display.

I created a table in the centre of my page (where I want the rss to appear).

But im not sure what Im supposed to do now.

can anyone help?

Ive managed to get the RSS feed to display but I have another problem now.

I have set the target to = blank, so when someone clicks on a news item it will open up in a new page.

but the problem is when you click on a link it just opens up the rss page instead of the news story.

I have included my page so you can have a look.

thanks

That is because in your template you have hard-coded the URL for the feed. You should be using ~~~ItemLink~~~ there.

In your template you have

Code:

~~~ItemTitle~~~

Which is saying that every item in your table has a link to the feed's XML. I think it really should be

Code:

~~~ItemTitle~~~

See if that works better.

Yes. You just include it twice, once for each feed. If you edited rss2html.php to put the feed's URL in there you can do the same make a second copy. Or you can use rss2html.php?XMLFILE=http://www.server.com/feed.xml&TEMPLATE=template.html . The safest way to make sure the URL is correct is to use rss2html.php?buildURL
