adding feature to gAjax RSS Feeds Displayer

[down4me]

1) Script Title: gAjax RSS Feeds Displayer (hosted)

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...sdisplayer.htm

3) Describe problem:

It is said that i can refresh contents on the fly, without reloading the page. by calling instance.init() again. For example:

<script type="text/javascript">

var socialfeed=new gfeedfetcher("example2", "example2class", "_new")
socialfeed.addFeed("Slashdot", "http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot") //Specify "label" plus URL to RSS feed
socialfeed.filterfeed(6, "label") //Show 6 entries, sort by label
socialfeed.init() //Always call this last

</script>

<a href="javascript:socialfeed.init()">Refresh Feed Contents</a>

is there any way that this function is called dynamically every hour so the content is renewed without manual refresh ?

Setup an interval:

<script type="text/javascript">
setInterval(function(){socialfeed.init();}, 1000 * 60 * 60);
</script>

page do not load after adding the code it gives HTTP500 internal server error

Well, the code I gave you does nothing until after an hour. So, if you got that error before 1 hour of having the page up, the internal server error you received is from some other cause.

First i would like to thank you for your help

i want to say that when i place this code :

<script type="text/javascript">
setInterval(function(){socialfeed.init();}, 1000 * 60 * 60);
</script>

in my script page it gives internal server error , when i remove the code the page loads fine

i have to say how did i installed the script as i have installed it in different way because i am using a script in my website i have installed it as follows :

1) i placed this code :

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/jsapi?key=YOUR-API-KEY">
</script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="gfeedfetcher.js">

<h3>Example 2: (Two RSS feeds, 6 entries, "<code>label"</code>, "<code>datetime</code>", and "<code>snippet</code>" fields enabled, sort by <code>label</code>)</h3>

<script type="text/javascript">

var socialfeed=new gfeedfetcher("example2", "example2class", "_new")
socialfeed.addFeed("Slashdot", "http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot") //Specify "label" plus URL to RSS feed
socialfeed.addFeed("Digg", "http://digg.com/rss/index.xml") //Specify "label" plus URL to RSS feed
socialfeed.displayoptions("label datetime snippet") //show the specified additional fields
socialfeed.setentrycontainer("div") //Display each entry as a DIV
socialfeed.filterfeed(6, "label") //Show 6 entries, sort by label
socialfeed.init() //Always call this last

</script>

<br /><br />

in the page where i want the rss feed to be displayed

2) i placed this code

.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 a{ /*CSS specific to demo 3*/
color: #D80101;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;
}

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

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

in the css file of my script

now it works fine i just want to load the function socialfeed.init() dynamically every hour so where should i place the code ( in which page ) ?

when i place it in the same page having the code in step one it gives internal server error

sorry for my long questions and thank you very much

If it's working like that without my added code, you can add it here:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/jsapi?key=YOUR-API-KEY">
</script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="gfeedfetcher.js">
