How do i make a news portal from several RSS feeds - El Forum - 05-21-2009

[eluser]Michael Geeh[/eluser]

Hey guys, I'm new to codeigniter but i like what it can do. I am currently redesigning my site, www.kichizi.com to use codeigniter.

I would like to know how i can make a news portal such as the one for www.afrigator.com which (i think) reads several predefined rss feeds and displays the articles in chronological order (orders them by date).

Thanks and continue with the good work you guys are doing.

Plus, kudos to Elliot Haughin for the good work he is doing with the screencasts and codelibraries.

I believe afrigator is using CI. You probably need to start working on it and if you're stuck, then that's probably the time to ask questions?

Hi Michael.

Look at Elliot's Simplepie CI library, it's really what you need.
