Trying to use RSS2HTML to add events on the calendar to my team website.

I follow this link, and FireFox shows me the feed properly. I can copy and paste the source code of the page into an .xml file and the RSS2HTML reads it just fine as is.

So, it looks to me like there is no actual .xml file created?

Err, perhaps I am not making myself clear.

My problem is that rss2html requires a .xml file to read from. The rss feed from the forum doesn't seem to create a file. Is it possible to make the forum create and save a calendar.xml file each time the feed is loaded?

No, but if it is a PHP script you should be able to modify it a little to just read the feed itself.


I do installs for $25 and upgrades for $20.

I'd recommend using SimplePie.

Ok, checked out simple pie. Tried the demo on their site. It works great, for all the feeds except the calendar. I tried running one of the board threads through my rss2html and that worked. It appears that there may be something wrong with the calendar feed specifically. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?

I'm not seeing any calendar events on your forum.    Are they member-only?  That would be the problem, probably, as the server is not logged in via a cookie to see anything.
