Page 2 - RSS feeds -always fresh content

G-man, from where can I get good script ....for rss feed, Carp?
http://www.geckotribe.com/rss/carp/ ?? this site seems down.

The SCRIPT that I've provided in the beginning is really nice and simple. There are some more sophisitcated scripts, but very often you have to pay for them.
Im still looking for the script that would dynamically parse keyword selected rss.
Rss is also good thing to attach in dmoz. When you add rss googlebot shouldn't disregard dmoz (which it does, when it sees dmoz clones).

lol I sent it to him...lol The quick tutorial for installing carp.

Pull the root files out i.e. in your root director of your site you should have:

carp (the last carp folder before actual files - will contain the carp.php, carpconf.php, carpinc.php and the three carpsetup files.)
img (the image folder containing the carp jpeg)
all remaining files should be in your root:
carpsetup.php

This should be all you have in your root. The other folders and files you can delete.

You can edit line 137 in the carp.php file ("'poweredby'=>'<br><i><a href="http://www.mouken.com/rss/" target="_blank">Newsfeed display by CaRP</a></i>'" so it says whatever you want it to say. example:

'poweredby'=>'<br><i><a href=http://www.yourdomain.com/ target="_blank">Newsfeed brought to you by mysite.com</a></i>'

However, be sure to give credit in a back link to the carp site somewhere else. Like on a link page.

Now set up you sql.

edit the carpsetup.php line 13 (the file will have on line 13 "/home/joe/carp/carpsetupinc$page.php")

Replace this with your root - for example:

/home/yourlogin/public_html/carp/carpsetupinc$page.php

Then upload your three files and run it from your browser i.e.

http://www.mysite.com/carpsetup.php

It will then prompt you to fill in the blanks. Your data base is your log in name and sql i.e. myname_news and your pass word to the database is you actual back end log in password. Simple stuff. The first page is the only page you need to complete information on. The next page is for home computers acting as servers. Leave these blank and press continue unless you are running it on your home computer. Your server (going from memory so not sure exactly what the first page setup called it) is "localhost".

After that you're done. Instant newsfeed.

To run multiple news feeds from various sources, use this code:



You can run as many as your server can deliver quickly in addition to setting the amount of text and the frequency of updates the key words you're searching for etc. Edit the file as your site needs.

If your pages are php, you place code directly into where you want the newsfeeds delivered. If running htm, html, or shtml, create a file and place the code in it exactly as above.

File name rss.php

To serve it on the page use a file include
<!--#include virtual="/rss.php" --> for a file created within the root of your directory or
<!--#include virtual="/newsfeed/rss.php" --> for a file you've placed in a folder within your root.

just google for "Carp" and you should quickly find the free download. ( http://www.geckotribe.com/ ) If you can't find it via search, you can pm me with your e-mail and I can send it over to you.

Then simply add the include command where you want the newsfeed to appear.

Thus ends the lesson on how to run a newsfeed in 10 minutes or less for any site.
