Hello,

I dont know why it isnt working..

I tried it on the other computer and it worked fine.... :blink:

HMm...But I'll look into it....

Here is an Aqua-soft version

Download here...

#209014

i`m on TV :lol:

EDIT The AS feed is working

#209016

All you have to do to change where the info is coming from is edit the config file. Now all we need are matching graphics!

#209017

Aqua-Soft feed works , just not CNET.

#209018

I tried slashdot as well...no go.

#209020

aquaxp also works

#209022

Sorry, Couldnet get CNN, but I did get BBC...

Updated!

#209039

Whoa! That's awesome!

/grabs the BBC version

#209047

:woot:

Except...the whole widget tuns white when a window overlaps it. Hmm...

#209049

How do you find the URL's for RSS feeds, say CNN for example.

Nevermind I found the url for BBC America news. :rock:

#209063

Top notch. I love it.

#209074

http://slashdot.org/index.rss

This does not work. Any reason why?

EDIT

I see it does not have an XML extension. This is a problem. I guess there may not be a valid RSS feed that can be used on the site.

It works for me. Look:

Edit: ooh I know why that doesnt work, Hyral used //channel/item[#]/title but that RSS feed doesnt say channel it says channel rdf:about=";http://slashdot.org/"

It'll work if it's changed to //item[#]/title

#209085

Added Gamespot...

No problem, it took me a day to figure out this XPath Syntax stuff too.

#209092

Doesn't work for me, and the rdf:about is an attribute, so it doesn't matter if it's there or not.

It should work, but I don't know why it doesn't.

For instance, //channel/title should yield 'Slashdot', but I get nothing.

Also, I cannot get it to work with MSFN or any other feed that uses text/rdf.
