dropfaith Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS_(file_format) that link tells you what it is .. as for members only you could kinda do it by only providing the link to members. but yea you need subscribe to it to get it or a widget if you use those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 "as for members only you could kinda do it by only providing the link to members." And what would stop them from sharing the link? Use authentication of some kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dropfaith Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 true but imo members only rss seems to defeat the purpose kinda rss is meant for content sharing and ease of finding content from rss readers. plus if the guid is in a members section then the rss is viewable but content itself isnt.. kinda like suidecidegirls.com they have an image rss that tells about sets but clicking from it the content is still members only..

corbin Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Yeah. Sounded like he wanted only members to be able to access the feed though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techker Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 hmm..it is true that the members can share the rss links but just like there username and password of there account.but anywyas other people can't take advantage of there promotions. si it is interesting cause he can even broadcast if h eis closed or holidays.. how do i get this set up?i have googled rss feed tutorials but i get about 50 pages of sites.. i juste need a script that he can write the news and the scirpt that the clients use and a widget??
