It gives error on my site but I disabled the rss ticker, but if you click the link I gave in first post you can see the error messages too.

One of my widgets went dark just to today, too. Is this one out of date? gAjax RSS Feeds Displayer v2.0 (hosted) http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex18/gajaxrssdisplayer.htm The Google API linked from that page is dead https://developers.google.com/feed/v1/?csw=1

Here's my widget: http://www.safetyandhealthmagazine.com/ext/resources/files/thismonthin/200.htm

Thanks for any advice on how to fix or replace with something just as easy.

Actually, I've already replaced the renderer in that 200.htm file above.

The original widget with the problem now is here: http://www.safetyandhealthmagazine.com/ext/resources/files/thismonthin/200-original.htm

I'm reading in twitter that Google API feed reader is gone forever so I guess its time to look for an alternative. Damn I liked that script. Any DD dev here with an alternative or fix? Wolud be very appreciated

please accept my apology,I mistakenly thought you were saying your usage of the script was having problems not the original script.Next time I will have to be more careful....

Newbie here:

I am having trouble in getting the RSS Displayer code working ... I did have it working 2 days ago but now it won't pull in the RSS feeds at all.

I am only using the example code supplied at the moment, as below:


<html>

<head>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/jsapi">
</script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex18/gfeedfetcher.js">

/***********************************************

***********************************************/

</script>

<style type="text/css">

.labelfield{ /*CSS for label field in general*/
color:brown;
font-size: 90%;
}

.datefield{ /*CSS for date field in general*/
color:gray;
font-size: 90%;
}

#example1 li{ /*CSS specific to demo 1*/
margin-bottom: 4px;
}

#example2 div{ /*CSS specific to demo 2*/
margin-bottom: 5px;
}

#example2 div a{ /*CSS specific to demo 2*/
text-decoration: none;
}

#example3{ /*CSS specific to demo 3*/
width: 600px;
padding: 4px;
border: 1px dashed gray;
}

#example3 p{ /*CSS specific to demo 3*/
margin-bottom: 2px;
}

code{ /*CSS for insructions*/
color: red;
}

</style>

</head>

<h3>Example 1: (Single RSS feed, 10 entries, "<code>date</code>" field enabled, sort by <code>title</code>)</h3>

cssfeed.addFeed("CSS Drive", "http://www.cssdrive.com/index.php/news/rss_2.0/") //Specify "label" plus URL to RSS feed
cssfeed.displayoptions("date") //show the specified additional fields
cssfeed.setentrycontainer("li") //Display each entry as a list (li element)
cssfeed.filterfeed(10, "title") //Show 10 entries, sort by date
cssfeed.init() //Always call this last

</script>

Hmmm ... seems Google has shut down this API:

And Yahoo Pipes is also closed down ... so we need to keep on looking :-(

I'm looking at Yahoo yql https://developer.yahoo.com/yql/ as a possible replacement for the API that power RSS related scripts on DD. Playing with some code now.
