PHP code for RSS news and some personalisation

[foulks]

Hi all,

I need help with my non-comercial project. The project is about making a football statistics website with news. I want to allow user of my website to pick his favourite team from a drop down list on the side of the website. This should lead to the website displaying only the news for this team. Also the banner will be different for each team. I created a banner for each team and I will have a list of RSS news feeds for each team.

I would like to save this selection for the user so it is picked once but the user is allowed to change his selection by picking a different team from a list. So the list is always available but the selection is saved until it is changed.

This is all on the index page however only after loging in so users are "defined" on the index page by default.

 

In conclusion:

-default, general banner and RSS news feeds for all teams, sorted according to the upload date

-user picks a team from a drop down list which is saved for the user

-website displayes specific RSS news feeds

-website has a specific banner

 

I am not asking for the code to solve the whole thing but for a detailed list of steps of what I should do and how to approach this problem.

Thanks for any help.
