iTunes U RSS Feeds
May 7 2008, 5:29 PM EDT Could you make a widget that would handle iTunes U RSS feeds similar to the way that Pageflakes does. To see an example go to http://teacher.pageflakes.com/dwicks and scroll to the bottom. On the left side you will see a flake called American Education. Click on any of the arrows to see how the content plays in the flake. Thanks 0 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: iTunes U RSS Feeds
May 7 2008, 5:45 PM EDT The Other Widget feature appears to handle it pretty well. All you have to do is Take the Flake and remove the javascript call at the front of the code you're given, leaving just the iFrame tag. I have it running on my profile page using the following code: <iframe allowtransparency="true" id="pffid186310052" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" hidefocus="true" src="http://teacher.pageflakes.com/SingleFlake.aspx?FlakeId=186310052" style="border:none 0px #cccccc;margin:0px;width:320px;height:208px" onload="if (typeof registerFlake == 'function') {registerFlake(this);}"></iframe> 1 out of 2 found this valuable.

RE: iTunes U RSS Feeds
May 8 2008, 10:42 AM EDT Thanks, this is helpful but what I am looking for is a way to put the RSS feed directly from iTunes U into WetPaint and get results similar to what I am getting with Pageflakes. Does this make sense? 0 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

May 8 2008, 10:53 AM EDT If you can find a way to access the URL of the RSS feed, it shouldn't be any different than using any other RSS feed in Wetpaint. 0 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: iTunes U RSS Feeds
May 8 2008, 5:14 PM EDT I've tried this and it doesn't work. Here is the error I get when clickng on a link. http://spuonitunesu.wetpaint.com/[object%20Object] The feed I tried to add was: http://deimos3.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Feed/spu-public.1385779878.01385779884 which is the same one that is on the Pageflakes page. 0 out of 1 found this valuable.

RE: iTunes U RSS Feeds
May 9 2008, 12:01 PM EDT It appears that there's some non-standard tags being used in the RSS Feed. It's still valid, but we've never had to deal with iTunes tags in feeds before. I'll see what we can do. 1 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |
