Looks like the scraper I'm using.

The new years party was great. Only bad thing was the pepper-spray (It was more like a gas spray that military would use, the building was empty in seconds

) attack at the end of one party. Anyway, I was at about five parties that night and morning and all for free, drinks included.

**dvdvault** · 01-06-2003, 04:57 AM

where abouts in the world are you???....how old are you???

u cant see what wrong with the scraper???...do you know of any 'fan' sites out there with pre-built scrapers..OR any 'fan' sites for MyHeadlines for resources etc??

Cheers

**Subway** · 01-06-2003, 05:07 AM

Fansites? No, not that I know.
Will make an .imp file for you with all my scrapers

I'm from Switzerland (Zurich) and I'm 27

Fredi

**dvdvault** · 01-06-2003, 05:13 AM

Fredi

**dvdvault** · 01-07-2003, 04:08 AM

**Subway** · 01-07-2003, 06:02 AM

You can download the file here: http://www.rogotworld.com/rogotworld.imp

Fredi

**dvdvault** · 01-07-2003, 06:14 AM

hey subway...

what do i do with this file??? do i view source...or do i use the string on your page???

how do i use it in myheadlines??

sorry for being so vague....and thanks for your help & patience!!!

cheers dude

**Subway** · 01-07-2003, 06:23 AM

Upload it to the folder where you have the other .imp files (on your server)

Then you can import the imp file in the admin panel. After you did that, you will have a ROGOTWORLD SELECTION folder in your source tree.

Fredi

**dvdvault** · 01-07-2003, 07:53 AM

hey...

i viewed source....saved it as rogotworld.imp , uploaded to the import folder...logged on as administrator...imported it...and then i cant see it ...

...have a look here : http://www.vfxtalk.com/news/html/

what did i do wrong ??

**Subway** · 01-07-2003, 08:20 AM

To be honest, I have no idea. Can you send me the admin password? I can try to figure it out. Maybe clear the cache? (In the admin of myHeadlines)

Fredi

**dvdvault** · 01-07-2003, 08:25 AM

ive just emailed you the passwors via the contact form at rogotworld

**Subway** · 01-07-2003, 08:45 AM

The insideCG scraper works now, but I have no idea why the cg channel one is not working. CG channel is not working on my site, too. Maybe they changed something on their site.

Fredi

**dvdvault** · 01-07-2003, 08:55 AM

maybe they're onto us

....thanks dude...if i could just get all the scrapers working...id be 50% towards finished the news feed debarkle....

Speak to you soon

Cheers again....really appreciate all your help!!!!

**dvdvault** · 01-10-2003, 01:01 AM

Just enter an url of a site that has news or headlines. I tryd it with my own news (They are feeds from my forum). This is the RSS feed I got: http://myrss.com/f/r/o/rogotworldNews93ozbw1.html

I have no idea how this is done, but it works absolutly perfect!

You can make real RSS feeds from non RSS site without any programming knowledge! Amazing!

Here's an other try: http://myrss.com/f/f/l/flashmagazineZ2k67z1.html

Perfect!

Or the Flashkit frontpage: http://myrss.com/f/f/l/flashkit7gf7rv1.html

Perfect!

And this are real RSS feeds, so you just need to enter the url into your myHeadlines and it will work! Crazy!

Fredi

hey dude,

i have created an RSS .91 feed for CGTalk....but how do i use it in MyHeadlines...paste the code in that it generates ??? also...which URL do you need to use in Myheadlines??? the RSS URL or the CGTalk news URL...i cant get it to work

Cheers

Paul

**Subway** · 01-10-2003, 03:49 AM

You need to use the RSS link and desable the scraper. This is the example of the flashmagazine: http://myrss.com/f/f/l/flashmagazineZ2k67z1.html

About your scraper: You need tu use more {dump} tags. Maybe it will work if you add a {dump} tag between the headlines.

Fredi

**dvdvault** · 01-13-2003, 12:01 AM

subway,

check out mikes new scraper with image support...here is a prototype for CGChannel: http://www.jmagar.com/modules.php?op...w_all&eid=3198

It looks awesome!!!
