I tried integrating Magpie to display a member's latest blog post next
to their names in a vBulletin forum and it worked for the most part.
However, there appears to be some conflict with MagPie breaking
vBulletin's AJAX code.
See this thread: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=156372
Post #21 says:
"From what I can see, the Quick Reply function and edit functions using
AJAX still work, but they don't clean up the page they way they should
when you click the submit/ok buttons. Looks like the problem lies in
the Magpie fetch_rss function. It's beyond my coding skills to
diagnose/fix this problem."
Any ideas?
At the request of some readers, I have fixed the links to the ICE
standard in the RSS 1.0 spec. I can't imagine anyone would object, but
I thought I'd let people know.

Hi
On line 28 of rss_utils, under the function parse_w3cdtf, there's this regular
expression
$pat =
"/(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})T(\d{2}):(\d{2})(:(\d{2}))?(?:([-+])(\d{2}):?(\d{2})|(Z\
))?/";
It should match the ISO 8601 date format (ex: 2005-07-26T12:16:26+02:00)
However, the parenthesis are wrong for the matching seconds. This way it will
produce a
":26" instead of the desired "26"
This of course makes the next function gmmktime fail.
You should fix the regular expression and keep the : out. Should be an easy fix.

RSS 1.1 ?? Is that regarded as a viable format (I have not followed
this list for very long so I was not even aware of RSS 1.1)? Is it
widely supported? (Perhaps this was intended to be ironic & flew past
me??)

That's why RSS 1.1 has had such great longevity. It's very easy to
create extensions that fit into the framework. Now, if you want to
create one that's fully RDF-savvy it can get a bit more complex.
So, care to discuss what sort of data you're planning to integrate?
There might be folks here with some suggestions/experience to offer on
how to effectively get it all working.

BlogTalk 2008
The 5th International Conference on Social Software
Cork, Ireland - 3-4 March 2008
http://blogtalk.net/
= Overview =
Following the international success of previous BlogTalk events in 2003,
2004, 2005 and 2006, the next BlogTalk - to be held in Cork, Ireland on
3-4 March 2008 - is continuing with its focus on social software, while
remaining committed to the diverse cultures, practices and tools of our
emerging networked society. The conference is designed to maintain a
sustainable dialog between developers, innovative academics and scholars
who study social software, practitioners and administrators in corporate
and educational settings, and other general members of the social
software community.
We invite you to submit a proposal for presentation at the BlogTalk 2008
conference. Possible areas include, but are not limited to:
* Forms and consequences of emerging social software practices
* Social software in enterprise and educational environments
* The political impact of social software
* Applications, prototypes, concepts and standards
= Participants and proposal categories =
Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the conference, audiences will
come from different fields of practice and will have different
professional backgrounds. We strongly encourage proposals to bridge
these cultural differences and to be understandable for all groups
alike. Along those lines, we will offer three different submission
categories:
* Academic
* Developer
* Practitioner
For academics, BlogTalk is an ideal conference for presenting and
exchanging research work from current and future social software
projects at an international level. For developers, the conference is a
great opportunity to fly ideas, visions and prototypes in front of a
distinguished audience of peers, to discuss, to link-up and to learn
(developers may choose to give a practical demonstration rather than a
formal presentation if they so wish). For practitioners, this is a venue
to discuss use cases for social software and to report on any results
you may have with like-minded individuals.
= Submitting your proposals =
Please upload your submission along with some personal information at
the http://www.easychair.org/blogtalk2008/ site. You will receive a
confirmation of the arrival of your submission within three working
days. The submission deadline is November 16th, 2007. The length of the
proposal should be between two and four pages. BlogTalk is a
peer-reviewed conference.
= Timeline and important dates =
Proposal submission deadline: November 16th, 2007
Notification of acceptance or rejection: December 7th, 2007
Paper version due: January 7th, 2008
Presentations and abstracts on website due: February 7th, 2008
(We will work hard to endow a fund for supporting travel costs. As soon
as we review all of the papers we will be able to announce more details.)
= Chairs =
* John Breslin
* Thomas N. Burg
* Tom Raftery
* Jan Schmidt
= Programme Committee =
* Stowe Boyd
* Dan Brickley
* Jyri Engeström
* Jen Golbeck
* Eugene Eric Kim
* Kevin Marks
* Peter Mika
* José Luis Orihuela
* Jeremy Ruston
* Paolo Valdemarin
* David Weinberger

You can just use the standard HTTP authentication described in RFC2617.

Is there a standard that defines how news aggregators should request
access to web feeds behind a login/password?
Our few private groups - http://forums.e-democracy.org - generate web
feeds which may be read by default browser-based feed readers and
there is no problem display them if someone stays logged in via the
browser.
However, I'd like to have the developer of the open source GroupServer
- http://groupserver.org - tool explore giving authenticated access to
Bloglines and other users of aggregators that supposedly support this
kind of access.

That explains that Klaus thanks. Two more quick questions persist: Is there
an XML validator on the web that shows the source that was validated? -- and
-- Would you know why the HTML generated by the validators we've just
discussed wrap HTML alt attribute text in brackets, e.g. alt="[Valid RSS]"?
<%= Clinton
I'm getting results from the W3 validator [1] I don't understand. I
understand what the error message says as it infers the Dublin Core
namespace is incorrect but I get the same results when that namespace is
removed.
Could somebody submit the test cases to the W3 validator?
* http://metromilwaukee.com/testRSS-1.xml
* http://metromilwaukee.com/testRSS-2.xml
And then explain what the validator is attempting to tell me so I can get
valid results?

Well Jon, I was thinking of using Regular Expressions to escape
the characters but a couple of test cases with the latest IE,
FF and OP browsers showed they do not parse the entities back
to their respective text characters. What a dilemma!
At the moment I'm considering doing nothing in the Title, using
CDATA in the Description and disallow XML in all other elements.

It's pretty depressing that "widely supported" can even be talked about
in this case. It's 9 years since XML became a recommendation. There are
kids out there younger than XML that understand CDATA, and some of the
parsers don't. :(
Anyway the biggest pitfall I can see with CDATA at the authors side is
the belief that you can pass anything through without having to worry
about escaping anything - there is the exception of the string "]]>".
Now granted the string ]]> doesn't come up very much in normal
conversation, but it certainly can come up in technical posts, etc. and
of course Murphy's law applies - if there's a set of inputs that will
cause failure someone will give you that set of inputs.
As such you still have to do escaping with anything you are putting into
a CDATA section so that ]]> gets replaced with ]]>]<![CDATA[]> (there
are a couple of other workable equivalents).
Personally, I tend to find it just as handy to escape & and < to &
and < (and > to > though in most cases that should be safe - but
again there are parsers that may think differently) especially since I
got into the habit of looking for those a long time ago when dealing
with HTML (not to say I never ever overlook that those characters could
be coming into a given piece of code, but I'm still well used to looking
out for them and not for ]]>

The replies to the question regarding the display of the channel's image has
been good news thank you.
Now, from a developer's perspective is using the channel image a good way to
record usage or are other tactics a better metric? When customers use a
service which generates a webfeed the customer's feed is served from their
servers so then what? I've considered hosting the channel's image would be a
reasonable method to record usage.

itunes does as does magpie parser if wanted when showing a feed on a website.

FWIW, I know there is some support for the channel image element in RSS 2.0
feeds. I don't know whether the readers that support the RSS 2.0 element
also support the 1.0 version, but I would think it's fairly likely.
In my tests, Firefox displayed the image in its feed preview (but obviously
not in LiveBookmarks); IE7 didn't display the image in its feed preview, but
did show it when you subscribed to a feed; other readers I know of that
support the image in some way include Abilon, Awasu, Bloglines, RssReader,
RSS Bandit, SharpReader and YeahReader.

What's been learned when using the channel image? The browser style sheets
will not display it. Do any of the feed readers done so?
I've been thinking of how a channel image may be used as a "web bug" to log
the usage of the web feed. I assume others have thought of this and have
tried doing so. What if anything is known of this usage?

Hi,
I attached a document with part of the RSS specification 1.0 translated to

In the head of the document I am just telling that "This document is the
translation in Portuguese of part of the specification of RDF Site Summary

detected mistakes in this document are of translator's responsibility and

but there is absolutely no content...
Hi All,
I have tried parsing the example structure of the RDF files from dmoz
(rdf.dmoz.org) but it says : Fail to parse RDF and XML parsing failed.
I plan to parse the whole content but since the file is large, i am using so far
the example (http://rdf.dmoz.org/rdf/structure.example.txt) provided in the
website.
Has anyone managed to successfully parse the structure example? Care to share it
please...???
I have made some changes to the code but still failed..:((
hope to get some feedback soon.
thanks !

To be a little clearer, and certainly not insulting, some years back several
modules were being discussed and proposed, some from within your own group. The
work this group has accomplished since that time apparently took the focus from
modules and development/approving them to Atom. There are only so many hours in
a day...however, the modules which can be beneficial( and would have perhaps
proven timely for adoption) are needing an approval by this group to cultivate
wider gain and acceptance for RDF and Web 2.0.
It goes without saying how important this is. So whether I achieve something
more useful to the greater RDF deployments or not, at this date and time there
is no active practice of submitting a module to this group for review and
gaining approval. There is no recent evidence of such work in progress.
Does this keep me from writing something useful for myself? Not really. But
would it not be better if developers had a voice with this commitee for their
needs and then that in itself was beneficial for RDF and Atom cultivations?
I have been hoping for several years to see RSS 1.0 plus modules become a focus
for extending semantic web interoperations and simplifying web services. Now we
have SOA developments in full swing and what are the planned developments for
RSS 1.0 for SOAs?
Could the RSS-DEV group at least state a position on their intentions for
approving proposed modules? Or perhaps shed some light on planned or considered
future work for RSS 1.0? Is the work better split off in two groups?(of course
all work under the same roof).

Frankly, and while I have every psychological motivation to believe
otherwise, I would be pessimistic in this regard.
However. Would your module be useful in either other RDF efforts or ATOM
as well?
Would it be useful for you at least?
I'm pretty pessimistic about things, but I certainly don't want to
dissuade a fellow hacker from doing good work.
