RSS-Feed question

[objelland]

Hi all, and happy new year!

Is it possible to use rss feed on an external site that is not developed in php? My customer has a site that is developed using .Net, and is running on a MS Windows server (IIS).
Does anyone know if a common presentation layer is devoloped for the C68 system like XML?

Thanks

Regards

68C comes with the file external.php which builds a feed on the fly. It could be included in other sites that want to display your inventory or parsed by other sites and added to their inventory.

Thank's for your feedback.
Would it be wise to contact one of the developers to get consultation about how this can be done?
I guess one has to do some special adjustments depending on each external site (programming language)

Im not totally following you here.

external.php generates an RSS feed that anyone can see by pointing a web browser to it. This can also be tapped into by other sites where they can programatically tell their sites scripts to read the output generated by external.php and at that point they can do with it what they wish. The can strip the xml tags and put the data in html for inclusion in their page. They can strip the xml and import it into their own database.

You could also make a new external.php which doesnt generate xml/rss but instead wraps the sections of the ads in html which would be easier for the remote site to include in their existing site. I guess it all boils down to your goals.
