RSS feed in Web Content?

Feb 8, 2012 9:39 AM

Tags: #digital_publishing_suite

I have created a frame, plugged in a URL for an RSS feed and, while the feed works fine in a browser, when I test the article on my desktop, I get the straight HTML. When I test it on my iPad, nothing feeds (the frame is empty). Any thoughts? Am I trying something that is not supported or just missing a step?

    Sounds like you don’t have a valid HTML file.

     

     

     

    Do you have a head section and a body section?

    It's not my file - but it looks like it?

     

     

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html id="feedHandler" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
    <body onload="SubscribeHandler.writeContent();" onunload="SubscribeHandler.uninit();">
    <div id="feedHeaderContainer">
    <script type="application/javascript">
    <div id="feedBody">

    </body>

    </html>

    For starters there’s no closing head tag.

    I noticed that, but it's not my file. If that is all you see as the problem, I'll go back to the source and see if they can fix it.

     

    Thanks!

    Hi Minia, it's as simple as creating a Web View interactive on an InDesign page, and embedding the URL into that WebView. Alternately, if you have a HTML page designed that you want to use as the entire article, you can just upload that as a stand-alone article, and not build an InDesign page.

    This gets even easier in CS6. Just copy/paste the HTML right into InDesign.

     

     

     

    It’s one of my top 10! http://bit.ly/IjrPvp

    Thank you guys.... So it is exactly like Twitter feeds.

     

    Do you if we can let the feeds when the user is offline?

     

    I explain my self, instead of using a "poster" or having the frame empty is it possible to keep the latest feeds shows in the frame when the user is offline ? And then it is updated when user is online ?

    No, the feeds will not update unless a user visits the page within the DPS app, which triggers the HTML content to load/update. You can't do background loading+caching.
