U of S RSS Feed Processing

Terms of Use

These tools are made available to support University of Saskatchewan RSS feeds and web pages. Specifically:

These tools can be used on any web page at the University of Saskatchewan to display on-campus or off-campus RSS feeds.
These tools can be used on off-campus web pages to display RSS feeds produced at the University of Saskatchewan.
These tools will not work for off-campus sites using off-campus RSS feeds.

Off-campus organizations are encouraged to download and install these tools themselves if they need the ability to use off-campus rss feeds on their own web pages.

Feed2rss

Feed2rss is a caching, rewriting RSS proxy written in PHP. It takes RSS feeds in any format that Magpie supports and converts them to RSS 1.0, 2.0 or Atom format. On the way, it can strip out HTML markup, and lets you choose how many items to display and whether to include item descriptions (and how much of each description). Each feed is cached to reduce the load on remote servers. If a remote feed is off-line for some reason, the proxy returns an old version from the cache.
