Ok, ive seen lots of products and ways of creating RSS files, but I havent been able to spot one that reads other peoples (eg ZNN, Slashdot). Is there such a product? -- Andy McKay, Developer. ActiveState.
SiteSummary will actually grab headlines. Just not timed. Cheers, J At 2:06 PM -0800 12/13/2000, Andy McKay wrote:

I'm setting up some rss feeds, and I've just used the Site Summary product from here: http://www.zope.org/Members/edmundd/SiteSummary With Site Summary you can use the importRSS method to pull in a channel. I use a modified version of this script running on a cron job to update the rss channels: http://www.zope.org/Members/phd/cron-zope/pack-db_fs The script looks like this (it's still kind of hack-ish, but it works :). My only problem now is to figure out how to have member preferences handle a list of rss channels with the PTK. #!/usr/bin/python username="kteague" password="******" zope="http://www.evileggs.org/" import sys, urllib, re class NoGUIURLopener(urllib.FancyURLopener): def __init__(self, username, password, *args): apply(urllib.FancyURLopener.__init__, (self,) + args) self.username = username self.password = password self.asked = 0 def prompt_user_passwd(self, host, realm): if self.asked: raise "Unauthorized" else: self.asked = 1 return self.username, self.password channel_id = "" rss_url = "" try: f = open("channellist.txt") except: print 'Could not open the channellist.txt file.' lines = f.readlines() f.close() for line in lines: if re.search('^\n$', line): continue m = re.search('(.*?)\s+(.*)', line) try: (channel_id, rss_url) = m.groups() except: print 'Can not properly parse line:\n%s' % (line) continue urllib._urlopener = NoGUIURLopener(username, password) urllib.urlretrieve("%s/rss/%s/importRSS?url=%s" % (zope, channel_id, rss_url)) ================== And the 'channellist.txt' text file just has the Zope id's of the Site Summary objects and the rss channel URLs, like so: Advogato http://www.advogato.com/rss/articles.xml Linux.com http://www.linux.com/mrn/front_page.rss -- Kevin Teague, Zopista http://www.stormix.com
So it does, thanks! I throught I read through Site Access and managed to skip that. Yep a simple cron job and it will be updating nightly. Cheers. -- Andy McKay, Developer.

RSS Channel does not protect Import, so you don't need user/password, I think... Oleg. ---- Oleg Broytmann http://www.zope.org/Members/phd/ phd@phd.pp.ru Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
Actually I went one further and hacked SiteSummary so that it remembered the url the rss is located at (rss_url). Then I wrote a quick reload method. Then in dtml I wrote a method that finds all the site summaries and reloads them. So my python script is down to two lines: import urllib print urllib.urlopen(..../reload) Or something like that.
