Taking a cue from post Create a simple Feed Reader with SimplePie and jQuery I created the first Plugin WordPress weblog Saidmade . Flash Feed Scroll Reader uses SimplePie to create a PHP proxy to access the different feed addresses.

If you use Flash or Ajax to read RSS feeds from other domains, you need to equip yourself with a proxy (tunneling) because of the protections imposed by both technologies (see tunneling and proxy servers for Ajax and beyond ). If your site or blog is already SimplePie , you can write a simple proxy like this:

Honestly I have tried everything! I did not want to use an external application to read RSS feeds! I thought (and I have changed his mind) that having a browser open already was uncomfortable bind to a different application.

So I started with the RSS reader in Internet Explorer 7. But since I installed Windows Vista I view the feed is denied ... security issues. If you "unlock" IE7, in due time, I let us start to appear "alert" spread (a little 'Windows and a little' good from Norton 360) who invite me to restore the security settings of your browser properly, be worth "broken" from around the world. In short, with IE7 - at least on Windows Vista - this is not possible to read RSS feeds in peace.

Abandonment IE7 (was now) and promote good FireFox as your default browser (it was really now). Then install Sage , an extension for FireFox . Maybe too easy ...! Let's just say "limited". However, today, I downloaded FeedReader , version 3.12, one of the best known, at least taking a look around the Web Cool! A new world indeed. Stumble this player also, again for Windows, FreeDeamon , I did very well ... even though in some ways I prefer FeedReader .

One consideration, obvious but overlooked during the development of applications in Adobe Flash, the difference between the player used for testing within the IDE Flash and the object (ActiveX or EMBED) used by your browser. Who owns the version "Macromedia" Flash MX (version 8 to be precise, but this discussion really applies to any version of Flash ...) when developing a movie and try it within the IDE runs the Flash Player linked to development package. Then when you publish your movie on the net and you "test" with the Flash Player browser you may experience some - substantial - differences!

The service XFruits , I use this blog for the PDF version Is enriched by a new and interesting tool: VocalFruit .
Now our RSS feeds can be heard.
The new service is available to registered users with an initial credit of 100 vocals. In fact I had to re-register, little mystery, but I tried it and it works really well.
Probably the choice of the credits depends on the cost of the technology used for the speaker, so I assume that could soon be in charge ! Information on the site are still relatively few, actually, but the idea seems interesting.

Are now available for the languages ​​English, French and Spanish, Italian for fear you will have to wait a bit '(the limit they never will, as often happens). The service features allow you to use the speech generated from rss feeds, or on our Web site, cell phone or an MP3 player.

While we're on a blog (weblog) RSS file and exchange has become the standard, here are some simple code excerpts useful for manipulating feeds-RSS.
We all know that RSS files are - at the end - simple text files conforming to the XML standard. As a result, manipulate them is not so complex.

The first class we present, in PHP, you can "read" an RSS file from any address, allowing you to process the result and take it anywhere.
