    Hi,

    I’m very new to EE and this is my first post so please bear with me. I’ve read the Quick Start tutorials and watched the videos a couple times and I understand the basic idea of how EE works but, not surprisingly, I’m still finding my legs so perhaps someone could suggest a way to approach this project.

    I need to set-up 10 separate directories for 10 users to publish their RSS feeds into using the EE cp.

    For example:

    http://www.mysite.com/rss/user_1/index.php
    http://www.mysite.com/rss/user_2/index.php

    The only thing these pages need to show is a list of available feeds/links, that’s all.

    I understand the use of templates and tags (well, at least the basics) but I can’t grasp how I can create this functionality and everything I try is a failure. Eventually I will need to build a simple template for the feed pages (I actually do understand html and css) but for now one of the default templates is fine for experimenting. I’m sure this is EE 101 for most of you but any insight will be much appreciated. Remember, small words please.

    Regards,

    Todd

    Hello Todd -

    You might have better success finding the answers you seek in the “How To” or “Technical Support” sections of the forums, and a moderator might put this thread in the right category to help you. Until then, you may want to take a look at a plugin called Magpie RSS Parser that works beautifully for pulling RSS feeds into Expression Engine templates. You can read more about it and download the plugin here: http://expressionengine.com/downloads/search_results/7e8b63db4df6deb94183fdd839cccaa4/. Hope this helps.
