I actually like that idea alot!

[Alex Calder]

The RSS feed is a good idea. I have used a program Magpie in the past to collect and display RSS feeds, I believe their can either handle generation of a feed or their community would be a good stepping stone to find a piece of software to handle this.

The RSS feed is a good idea

I spend too much time reading about cichlids... What is a RSS feed? I would like to consider it.

[Sébastien Bochenko]

It would be a solution for CRC's afficionados to know in real time when new pics or article are available on CRC without having necessary to verify the "what's new" page.
To resume, their RSS reader would tell them each time "there is something on CRC, click there", and then they'll just have to click to go directly on CRC right page.

Pretty cool! I could work out a RSS for the whatsnew section and one for the CRC Cichlid catalogue to show when species profiles have been updated, that is pretty exciting! Now to learn how to do it!

[Sébastien Bochenko]

Yes, a feed for "CRC Cichlid catalogue" would be great to.

[Sébastien Bochenko]

(or the two pages in one feed)

PS: impossible to edit posts in this section.

[Juan Artigas]

Alright, there is a sample beta RSS feed for the updates of the species in the catalogue, is yet not public but it will keep the same URL, so you can add it to your feeds reader and let me know what you think. A problem seems to be I can not make the species names to appear in Italics.

I get this:

Internet Explorer cannot display this feed

This feed contains code errors.
Go back to the previous page.

Thanks. It works with google reader and with Firefox. There may be some format error with Internet Explorer but unfortunately the Feeds validator I am using (http://feedvalidator.org/) is not working at the moment. I will try to check on that later today.

Using Firefox 3.0.1 I got this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_DNUMBER, expecting ',' or ';' in /usr/www/users/jartigas/Cichlidroom/support/rss/spe_full.php on line 38

[Lisachromis]

Sorry I was trying to make it compatible with Internet Explorer, it is working now!

No errors now. However, all I get is a totally blank page.

[Vincent Fu]

I just tried it again using FF 3.0.1 and it works!

[Dan Woodland]

I like it! Great job and fast action Jaun!

[Sébastien Bochenko]

Great, but the last novelties should be in the top of page.
I find that it is a big advance anyway.

Thank you !


PS: I tryed many RSS viewers and in my opinion the best one is the Firefox add-on: "Brief". Very light and simple of use.
You can download it there: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4578

[Juan Artigas]

Last updated species are on the top of the page.

[Sébastien Bochenko]

Ok, it was fair at the time of the reception of the last 50 already online articles. It is therefore perfect.

Thank you very much !

[Juan Artigas]

My pleasure, i will think about how to include a feed for all new documents added to the Cichlid Room Companion. may have t work in a new table and script to update it. Thanks for the idea Sebastian, this feed thing is really cool!
