RSSVille released
My RSS series of components has been released. RSSVille is a set of RSS feed creation components for ColdFusion. The distribution provides a series of CFC objects and a set of sample feed-creation pages.
RSSVille allows you to instantiate the RSS objects, populate them with data, then choose how you want to generate the output: RSS 0.9x, RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0, Atom, etc. As the specifications change or new ones are added, the components can be easily modified to generate output to the new specification.
RSSVille is extendable through modules, much like the RSS specification itself. Included in the distribution is an iTunes module that allows you to easily generate an RSS 2.0 iTunes podcast feed.
You can view download the project and submit bugs at the www.riaforge.com site. Here is a link to the project home page:
We just put this into the soon-to-be-released next version of InstantSpot and it was a friggin breeze!
FWIW, I created an RssService.cfc which is defined in ColdSpring. It has createRssFeed() createRssEntry() methods that do the instantiation of the individual CFCs. This made it super easy to implement into our Mach-II app.
Thanks for sharing your work.
