I spent some time last night and this morning working on an RSS scrape for the current news section of the Guild Wars site. The scrape is written in php.
Pic.
If anyone is interested in helping me beta-test this kludgy, first version, I'd appreciate it. The first 10 people who reply to this thread will get a PM from me with the URL.
If you are one of the 10, please let me know if you find any bugs or formatting issues by replying to this thread, or sending me a PM or email. If you have screenshots, post or PM me a link, or email it to me as an attachment. I've only tested this with the Sage plugin in Firefox, so I'm curious how well it works in other feedreaders.
Thanks,
eugaet

OK, sent everyone who replied a PM with the link. Thanks for offering to test it out. So far, those testing are:
Fate
Kariston
chris_nin00
Demonstar
Guardian of the Light
RTSFirebat
Monica Angelina
EternalTempest
Sniperz53
That's 9, which I suppose is really more than enough for testing something like this, although the more the merrier. Here's some of the info from my old thread in the OT section (which was posted there because I was impatient with the validation ):
----------
The php script I sent the link to returns an XML document. You need to have a feedreader/aggregator installed, or use a web-based one, and supply it with the link I sent.
I've tested it with the Sage plugin for Firefox, Google Reader, and Google Personalized Home. Seems to work so far.
Feedreaders/News Aggregators:
What they are: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aggregator
Where to find them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_news_aggregators
Hopefully, Anet will have a few news updates over the next week or so which will give those of you testing it out to see if the feed updates OK. In the meantime, I'll be cleaning up and streamlining the script...so if it suddenly stops working, give it about 30 minutes or so before you notify me. Chances are, I'm well aware of the screwup I just made and am currently fixing it. I'll be working off of a copy (well, should be working off of a copy), but you never know.
If all goes well, I'll publish the link in CW next weekend. After that, I'll set up an RSS feed for the Game Updates section of the GW website. Any other sections of the GW site which might benefit from a feed?
Again, thanks to those of you who offered to give it a test run. This is cool...I'm feeling all useful and stuff.

Oooooo-kay. What you saw is correct, that is how it should show up in your browser. However, if you plugged that link into a feedreader or news aggregator, it'll show up in a readable format...that format depending on how your feedreader/aggregator displays the XML file.
Please read my previous post to this thread. And, if you would be so kind, please edit your post to remove all that XML. Thanks.
On an aside...is it just me or...[plotting] is there no RSS feed for the GWG Community News? [/plotting]

Wanted to post a screenshot of my current development feed:
Hopefully, I'll get this version out to the testers in the next day or so.
Worked on pulling in the image-link at the top of the news section...not sure how well that will work going forward, but we'll find out, won't we? Cleaned up some of the other regexes to pull the entries a bit more precisely. Next, to wrap up a few repetitious areas into functions. And more cleanup. But for now...sleep.

i run several php nuke sites, it has rss built into it, people can even add their own feeds, look in your blocks section, their are some preinstalled rss feeds for different sites, if a site has a rss, or sometimes it appears as"backend.php" as a link somewhere, this is something you can set for you site thru your preferances, this is usually done on the "portal side" of the nuke package. I believe that you can even allow members to add their own rss feeds that only they see.

If you view the link in your browser, in most cases you will see the output of my script (which is XML, btw). Your feedreader/aggregator will make this output look pretty. Web browser is to HTML link as feedreader/aggregator is to RSS/XML link.
In more detail:
Feedreaders/News Aggregators:
What they are: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aggregator
Where to find them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_news_aggregators
I suppose I could open it up to more than 10 people...if I was nice. Which I am. PMs to Accurax and Padi forthcoming.

Thank you for making me a beta tester - here some results
Albion (the RSS program I like) - Looks great. Not sure how you get those little icons for the main feed link like the others.
Oprea - Web Browser RSS - Not showing the fancy first letter images.
Will be doing more testing.
If anyone needs some free rss programs - http://www.webattack.com/freeware/mi...readers_r.html

HTML Code:
<strike>Which icons? The caps or the little word bubble that shows in my screenshots? The caps are pulling straight from the GW site. I had to have the script rework the image urls to make sure it pointed to an absolute rather than relative path.</strike>
Oh, you mean the little favicon looking ones in the sidebar. Hmmm...

Well, that's no good, is it? You'd think it would display the alt text for the caps images. Is RSS built in to Opera? Looks like I'll need to install it to do some testing myself.
Thanks for the feedback!

With Opera it may be an issue that doesn't allow images to load in the RSS text section (but allow html code for links and such). The RSS support is built in as part of opera. Of all the feeds I've seen, not seen any images in Opera to date.
With Albion, the icon I was referring too was the Feed Tree (far left column) with the different feeds listed. Example: The register feed has the carrion logo, it's giving the "default" xml icon for your feed. Not sure how it works.
You may need to grab someone who is beta testing IE 7. Next version of IE will have RSS support built in. As soon as IE 7 is "public" beta I can test it.
You’re doing a great job. It may be the same problems that html code has, lose standards. It's going to be the RSS newsreaders that support the most standards, Atom, RSS1, RSS2, etc built in that will display the best I think. But if you test and tweak enough across the board, you should do fine.

Using Thunderbird
Hiya,
I'm using the Thunderbird RSS Reader to read 5 other RSS feeds and they work fine. However, with the beta feed, I do not get any images...
Am I doing something wrong?

If applications aren't closed...
If applications aren't yet closed, I'd be happy to help test. I'd be using the RSS feed reader built into Windows Vista.
