[Request] RSS reader

Hi!

Would someone create a RSS reader plugin? Is it possible to do without one at the moment?

Thanks to all answers.

Aren't RSS feeds just .xml files? I think they are but I could be wrong.
If they are .xml, then you could download the files and use the xml extensions. Again, I'm not sure (brains not working) but I think there are two xml extensions.

It depends on the version of the RSS feed, the newest kind is xml, but one of the older versions is RDF instead.

One way to go about it i guess is to use the download file extension to grab the file from the net and then the EasyXML extension. However a already "working" RSS reader would save a lot of time, and you could quickly (hopfully) switch between rss 2.0, 1.0 etc.

I'm doing it this way now to see how well it works, will take some time before i get back with the result.

Yeah one of the EasyXML examples should be an RSS reading example. If not then I have made an RSS reader using EasyXML before so it is possible and only like 10-13 events at max.

Weird, I was just about to ask for one of these... but I use TGF... *sniff*

I agree for a small handy extension to read RSS feed

In this kind :

Action:
> Set RSS URL

Condition:
> is Loaded?

Expressions:
> Get_title$ (Index item ; UTF-8 or ISO)
> Get_description$ (Index item ; UTF-8 or ISO)
> Get_image$ (Index item ; UTF-8 or ISO)

I forgot :

Expressions :
> Get_link$ (Index item ; UTF-8 or ISO)
> Get_postdate$ (Index item ; date format(YY/MM/DD) )

little push

+ Flash Runtime support would be great
