RSS news feeds on the client level enable the client administrator to broadcast any messages he has to communicate via a RSS news feed. The news feed has two objectives:
any persons can subscribe to the RSS news feed via the subscription functionality of their browser (which automatically updates the news after a certain time period, e.g. every day)
the news can be shown in a web page where a piece of Java script can automatically read the news feed and display the news dynamically within the web page.
In order to implement the client RSS news feed, put the following
piece of HTML code into the <HEAD> section of your web page and
also download the Java script file rss.js and put it
into a directory called "javascripts" that must be in the directory of
the web page on the server.
<link href="/demo/rss.xml" rel="alternate" title="RSS" type="application/rss+xml" />
<script src="/javascripts/rss.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script language="javascript"> window.onload = function(){ ReadRSS('/demo/rss.xml','rssBodyTemplate','rssTitleTemplate');}</script>
Every client has his "sub domain" - you must replace in the above
script the text "demo" via the "sub domain" of your
own client.
Then, on the position where you want the news to appear on your web page, insert the following code:
<div id="rssTitleTemplate"><h1>(::Title::)<br/></h1></div>
<div id="rssBodyTemplate">
<table>
<tr><td>(::Pubdate::) <b>(::Title::)</b></td></tr>
<tr><td> (::Description::)</td></tr>
</table>
<hr noshade/>
</div>
