is there a syndication rss option for polarhome news?
I would like to syndicate polahome's news on my website.

No such thing, yet!

thnx man!

hi,

if somebody describes me how to do that, I would be glad to implement.

Well this is a good page:

Actually it's easy to write the code for it work, I can try do it for polarhome if you like, but then I don't know how to update it automatically when you post something in news.

thanks...
this a really an easy format.
The only problem what I can see is that every item has a link... polarhome news usually has just titles

If you think that it might be usefull - I can implement it right now.

Well you can set each link as the polarhome start page.

Now if you ask me, I don't think it really is useful, as in case of a problem, usually it is first solved and then the announcement is made. RSS feeds are used so that you get the latest headlines / news in your desktop, not so useful in our case I think!

true... I try to solve problems imediatelly - and if it is more than one day task - then I include into TODO list.
Regardless - it will be as you decide.
Matej already works on possible solution.

Sorry for the grrek stuff, there... But my site is in greek.

I think it looks great. Good job with the rss/atom mod guys!

Thank you.
Indeed, it looks very nice on your page.

I'm glad that someone found the feeds useful.

You're one in a million.. once in a lifetime
:lol:

sry, couldn't resist

by **GSake** » Tue Jan 25, 2005 12:29 am

Oh, come on be a little romantic...

by **Matej** » Tue Jan 25, 2005 12:30 am

Never mind, I've just been playing with this RSS stuff. I really don't care if it's useful or not. It's just fancy to have it. Beside, doesn’t this RSS/ATOM button look just great?
/me parses his Photoshop skills.

by **GSake** » Tue Jan 25, 2005 12:43 am

yeah, the button rocks! great use of the interactive contour tool there... :wink:

leave denisf "complaining"... :lol:

RSS is nice and helpful. Imagine you can see the new posts in your desktop, the moment they happen?

It's kewl!

by **DenisF** » Tue Jan 25, 2005 12:53 am

I can only imagine the bandwidth consumption ^

by **Matej** » Tue Jan 25, 2005 12:57 am

Rite, a max 5 kB XML file. Woot.

Ah btw, It's not real realtime. :lol:

It has some chaching. I think I set it to 5min.

by **DenisF** » Tue Jan 25, 2005 1:04 am

Last time i checked, there is no realtime compression for that rss feed :p

and if you click the rss link, you'll notice that the outcome is a 37kb file, quite far from 5kb

by **Matej** » Tue Jan 25, 2005 1:08 am

Well nevermind. It showed 4.xx kb to me.
