Need help with this one too.

I'm wanting to know how to use what are called Klipfood feeds on my blog.

This a pretty innovative idea to say the least and basically speaking, what it does is to act as an aggregator for a lot of different things, mostly RSS feeds
for blogs and other websites.

Its pretty neat and it is pretty simple until one wants to become a provider and then it does get sticky. At least it does for me.

In order to be able to help me, I'm quite sure that most will actually have to go download the programs and play with it in order to get the feel of it.

The Klipit website is at http://www.serence.com/site.php and once you get the basic stuff down you get a real nice little app that is real easy to install and use.

Not much use of my explaining more about what it is and what it does because once you download it and set it up you will see real quick what it does.

That's not the hard part at all and setting up new skins to monitor new feeds isn't hard to do either. Neither is the xml programming to do rss feeds. That's pretty much old hat. But what eats my lunch is how to set up the feed on my blog so people can subscribe to the feed when they want to.

That calls for me to be a content provider which the Klipit people tell you how to do if you can understand it and I can't do that because I don't know perl or php or whatever language it is written in.

I do know html and xml pretty well but that's about it.

Another one I need to learn is how to do the google and other API calls too.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Which part troubles you? To write the klip or to write the klipsource-provider?

What troubles me.

The provider part.

I need to have a way for someone to subscribe to my rss feed from my blog or my website.

I also want to upload the feed to the Klipit website.

you can find the documentation at http://www.serence.com/provider.php
There's an documented example of a basic klip in the downloadsection but the KlipScript Documentation forum seems a better place to start.
You might download another klip and modify it to get started.

e.g. the klipfood-page for phpdevnet is http://www.devnetwork.net/service/forum ... lient=klip
and it gets parsed by

Code: Select all

<script>
		// the instructions for processing data
		// details on how to modify this are coming soon
		rssEngine = Engines.get ("RSS");
		rssEngine.process (Setup.get ("contentsource"));
	</script>
