what you’d need to make it “work” is an RSS mashup tool, to make ONE feed, and then you can use Feedcommander to display it. Yahoo Pipes is one, but there are several out there… Otherwise, it’s @0 per year for the pro version…

Hi, great, easy to use product. Do you know if there is a specific way to combine a few rss feed sources in one line while utilizing the same attributes? I tried using the javascript version and using src=”http://feed1.xml&feed2.xml”. I’m trying to get the “add rss feed to any site” advertisement to continue to show up but not after each separate feed. Does that make sense? Keep up the good work.Thanks, Chris

I’m using Feed Commander to add a twitter RSS feed to my website. I added a couple test post and the feed was working fine. Then deleted the test posts and posted a real post and Feed Commander hasn’t updated to remove the deleted post and include the new post.

I have opened the RSS feed in Firefox (http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/224792588.rss) and it shows the correct post they just aren’t updating in Feed Commander script when site is refreshed.

Thanks, glad you like it.

Yeah, I know what you mean, but wit hthe free version, what you’d need to make it “work” is an RSS mashup tool, to make one feed, then you can use Feedcommander to display it.
Yahoo Pipes is one, but there are several out there…

I actually do have plans to make this a mashup tool too, but not likely any time really soon.

As far as I know, no, if it’s not feeding the date/time, then Feedcommander can only displays what is “fed”, and can’t extract information that’s not there.

Perhaps though, (since I can’t program anything to save my life), I’ll ask Heather (our main programmer) to look at this, and see if there might be a way to add that as a feature.

In the meantime, here is how to add dates to your own WordPress RSS feed and at that point, it would appear in Feedcommander

Thanks for the reply. I’m not sure I explained the question correctly.

When I post a RSS feed to yahoo for example, it states the time of the item. For instance “1 hour ago”, “5 hours ago”, “3 days ago” etc. When I use the generated php code that information doesn’t appear. I notice there is a pubDate option in the RSS spec. Can this be retrieved from the feed? I guess then some php code would be needed to add this info to the output?

Thanks,
Tony

Thanks, and I’m glad you like it.

As far as I know the only way to get the date in the feed would be to manually placed the date in the posts themselves, either in the title or the first sentence or two and have it display via RSS.

Perhaps, there is a way in your content management system to make the date feed appropriately with each post, but that’s going to vary system to system

Great product! How can I add the publication date to the items?

Thanks
