RSS Viewer 0.3
Can you tell what my new favorite project is?
New this version:
- Combined feeds and items sidebar frames into a single menu system
- Added fancy gradients to make it look more 1337
I’m rather proud of the new menu system. It dynamically loads the feeds when requested, as opposed to having to build the whole menu tree when the feeds frame loads. Here’s how it works:
- User clicks on feed title, triggering javascript that loads an url w/ parameters into a hidden frame
- php script takes url parameters, downloads feed, and generates the html along with a javascript command to insert the html into the feeds menu
- when page is loaded into hidden frame, the generated javascript is executed, and the items html is inserted and shown
It’s convoluted, but it seems to work!
Update: Links would be good.

Do you have a username and pass for your demo version? I’m trying to get this going on my Red Hat server so I can view my feeds from work (cant run Mozilla there) and I’m having issues with it. My error is Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: config in /var/www/html/rss_viewer/required.php on line 14
Any help would be great.
Apart from that is looks awesome
