cc2_rss Request

[jc634]

jdgordon,

A request to enhance your rss/sml plugin. I currently read 3 lines to display from weather.com The 3 lines as displayed are as follows:

WeatherClicks - Marion, Iowa Weather
Sun, 06 Mar 2005 09:52:00 CST
Current Weather - 55F Clear

Would it be possible to to add code to truncate the text as received from an rss/xml feed? From the above, I would like to have it display the following:

Marion, Iowa Weather
Sun, 06 Mar 2005 09:52
55F Clear

As you can see, I have removed text from the beginning and end.

Possible?

Jim

You can do some of that now, with the start and end statements, for example, the current weather and location can be done like;

item00_start="<title>Current"
item00_end=</title>" 

item01_start="<title>WeatherClicks -"
item01_end=</title>"

Duh!

I had not used the start/end method, so of course, I did not think of using it!

It does work on both beginning and end. My code as follows:

from="cc2_rss.ini"
sec="feed-#"
opt01="url=http://www.weatherclicks.com/xml/52302"
opt02="interval=60"
opt03="item00_id=@01"
opt04="item00_start=<title>WeatherClicks -"
opt05="item00_end=</title>"
opt06="item01_id=@02"
opt07="item01_start=<pubDate>"
opt08="item01_end= CST</pubDate>"
opt09="item02_id=@03"
opt10="item02_start=<title>Current"
opt11="item02_end=</title>"


I left the date at Sun, 06 Mar 2005 09:52:00 simply because I am not sure if it always be :00.

Thanks for the lesson.

So, for the moment, cancel my request. It is not needed!
