Publicly share/export folders
I am a web developer that has been using Google Reader as an RSS feed aggregator, that then provides specific aggregated feeds to display on websites. To give an example, I have aggregated about 30 different feeds providing news about the media in Greece. I then take the single, aggregated folder from Google Reader, and using a script on my website, all of the articles from that folder are displayed, in a customized format that matches the design and layout of the site.
I'm not a professional, so some of the technical terminology and understanding may elude me, but through trial and error, I've been able to make this work.
This is the feed that I use from Google Reader - I've made it "public" in my Google Reader settings in order for it to be exportable: http://www.google.com/reader/public/javascript/user/00290780739808989603/label/News
This is the website where the feed is displayed: http://www.media.net.gr
This is the code I use to display the feed:
In the header of the webpage:
<style type="text/css">
container { width:97%; }
.title { font-size:90%; }
.title { font-weight:bold ; }
.title { color:#020291; }
.snippet { font-size:85%; }
.snippet { color:#0A50DB; }
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
function buildContent (blog) {
if (!blog || !blog.items) return;
var container=document.getElementById("container");
var code="";
for (var i = 0; i < blog.items.length; i++) {
var item = blog.items[i];
code=code+"<a class='title' href='"+item.alternate.href+"'>"+item.title+"</a><div class='snippet'>"+item.origin.title+"</div><br />";
}
container.innerHTML=code;
}
</script>
In the body of the webpage:
<div id="container"></div>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://www.google.com/reader/public/javascript/user/00290780739808989603/label/News?n=9&callback=buildContent">
</script>
I would like to ask if there are plans on including this ability to export feeds, and whether the same format will be followed as with Google Reader (i.e., a Javascript output). I have not found this functionality anywhere else and my website, as well as many others that I am aware of, rely on this functionality!
