Displaying RSS Using the SIMILE Ajax Timeline
Okay, I had this up last summer but, like a dope, deleted it when I upgraded my WordPress installation.
This is the RSS feed for harrylove.org displayed on the SIMILE Timeline. View the source of the HTML page to see how I did that part. It’s mostly lifted from the Timeline project examples. Basically, the JavaScript calls the PHP file. The PHP loads the RSS and transforms it with the XSL file into XML that the timeline can understand and then returns that back to the JavaScript. The JavaScript then renders the timeline in the browser.
Here’s a link to the source.php file and the rss.xsl file. Hack away and have fun. Of course, none of this would be possible without the work of the SIMILE group at MIT.
