Existing libraries for RSS and iCal generation? - El Forum - 04-23-2008

I've looked around the wiki and haven't found anything yet... Are there any existing CI libraries for RSS and iCal generation?
I'm just asking before I 'librarify' an existing class... I thought I would have to do that for the Monte Ohrt Google Maps class, and it was already done by someone!
Thanks!

I found this class by Marijo Galesic and made some tiny tweaks. I'll add it to the wiki tonight. It's not much of a contribution, but I think that there should be an RSS generation library and I don't see one yet.

Not iCal, but I wrote something up about RSS if you're interested.

Very nice tutorial, I like your approach because it is more organized and there is a separate view. On the other hand, using this library the feed controller would just output the feed so there's no need for a view.

Derek.. I followed your tutorial but when i try to load it in the browser, the browser asks me to download.. Is this a header issue? (By the way... browser screenshot attached)
Controller:
Code:
$data['encoding'] = 'utf-8';
$data['feed_name'] = 'RedMol.com';
$data['feed_url'] = site_url();
$data['page_description'] = 'Real Estate Cashflow Investments';
$data['page_language'] = 'en-us';
$data['creator_email'] = '[email protected]';
$data['entries'] = $this->blog_model->get_any_blogs();
header("Content-Type: application/rss+xml");
$this->load->view('feed/rss', $data);View
Code:
<?php echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>'; ?>
<rss version="2.0"
