Does anyone know how I can grab Las Vegas news and put it on a mobile website? :hmmmm2:
I imagine there is a php script of some sort. What is everyone using for this feature?

I know alot of people are able to put news feeds on their websites but for
some strange reason - this seems to be a closely guarded secret....:hmmmm2:

I remember reading something about this a while back, I'll see if I can find it. Assuming we figure it out do you mind writing up some instructions in the Dev area for other members to do the same?

I would love to write a "how to tutorial" on this when I figure it out! :)
Figuring it out is the hard part....lol

Well...I probably can't help you, but u'r right saying it's easy. I am a asp.net programmer and can make a newspage from rss feed withing minutes.

I just googled and within seconds I found this one: http://magpierss.sourceforge.net/

Didn't test it, but sourceforge knowing it's probably ok...

Other one: http://www.mastercode.nl/artikel/18/ (in dutch, but code is english)

Can you show me the your asp code that makes a newspage? Maybe I can take it from there...

I've developed a few different ways to do so.

You can either grab the News Feed and display the text, or have it saved to a database so the news is archived / searchable.

I will write up a tutorial and put it somewhere.
