Is it possible to use different text (font, font color, …) for item already read and for non-read items?

There’s a major security issue with the PHP proxy in this tutorial. One can request any file on the server with that script by requesting an url address that begins with file:/// (such as file:///some/file/on/the/server).

Great post, you’ve saved me a lot of time Robert!

I’m going to use this to aggregate a Twitter feed in order to bypass the time limitations in their search API. This way tweets older than 7 days will still appear.

Thanks.

Great work

Before testing your solution, I thought about jquery load() function !
I think your proxified call is better

Hi,

maybe somebody has already asked before, but is there any way to write whole rss reader code only by javascript (jquery)? In others words is there any way to re-write php script to jqeury?

thanks a lot

The matter of offering a limited number of items can be invoked by the slice method, i.e.

$(d).find(‘item’).slice(0,5).each(function() {

Where I am having problems is in returning link and description. This is rather odd. If instead of employing:

.find(‘link’)

I use:

.find(‘guid’)

then I am able to get the link. As there is no alternative for description, I am not able to get around this.

If anyone has any ideas as to why this is happening then I would appreciate the comment.
