Hello, the script only shows the Title of the rss feed. Is there any way we can display the content of the posts? I am trying to embed all my blog posts, in a webpage, so it looks and feels like a part of the site.
ReplyDeleteMasoom

ReplyDeleteHello, is it possible to fetch image also with title and link.
ReplyDeleteHow can I get the MEDIA:THUMBNAIL-URL from the item using this codes format?
ReplyDeletevery good simple script....how do limit description length....I would like to keep under 100.

ReplyDeletebut when rss feeds of many websites were to display all together, then the webpage loading time increases and it loads very slow.

ReplyDeleteMay i ask you something? I think the "description" item from xml Schema is useless. I mean the below line of your code.The description of every article never appears at any div. Am i wrong?
ReplyDelete$description = (string) $item->description; //Description
how can i get feed url of any sides
ReplyDeleteVery good script!
ReplyDeleteHow can I add the posting date before the singles feeds?

ReplyDeleteI tried the script out on my server and it does not work like the live demo. Is there anything I may have done wrong?
ReplyDeletePlease help me.. This is script is showing on my localhost. But not on my server. Is there any way to run this script.. Please help
ReplyDeleteExcellent thanks! I have a question though, is it possible to have the different feeds going through one table. What I mean is, in the example you have 3 different feeds, each displaying on it's own table - instead of each one having it's own table is it possible to just merge them and sort them by date?
ReplyDeleteThanks alot helping me to do it!
ReplyDeleteI want to know
How can i display the summary of the article underneath the article title link?

load->library('rssclass');
$this->rssclass->rss('http://feeds2.feedburner.com/9lesson');
echo $this->rssclass->display(9,"9lessons");
