RSS feeds from other sites? [Fixed] Jul 15, 2008 8:38:02 GMT -8

Board URL: www.psrv.co.uk

Problem: More a query than a problem. Is it possible, to say, have a side box with a rss feed from another site in. I.e. since my site is a gaming community I wanted to know if I could add a side box, then have a feed from a E3 site so gamers could find out the latest E3 news easily on my forum.

I'm sure it would work, what feed are you trying to embed on you page?

As long as they provide an HTML/Javascript code for you to use, you can put it on your forum's headers / footers. Have you signed up for their feed? If yes, do you have the code they provide for you to add it to your site?

What did you add to google page then?

The thing is, i can't really help you get what you need to add, to get the feed. You will need to contact the provider of the feed for the relevant code(s) you need.

Ok, i'll look into contacting the provider.

Basically, the page you were looking at is/was the feed, and you are subscribing to it to get updates when it updates.

Ah...well I've managed to find a widget that the makers of E3feed allow you to feed from their main sites feed: www.gamebump.com/ however it's caused the side boxes to stretch.

Edit: n/m I figured it now

Another edit: or not

For some reason something that looks stretched on FF3 doesn't look stretched on Opera.

Could you take a screenshot of how it looks in Opera, as i don't have that browser installed

Which width did you actually want it?

I re-entered the dimensions into the widget maker and got the code again. That sorted it.
