milov.nl: custom feed on feeds view

August 2003

milov.nl/feeds/
This is a custom view script I wrote for my feed on feeds [2252] install, removing a bunch of details/options I don't need. Most importantly: I have no desire to read people's weblog entries in anything other than the original design, so descriptions are out.

It's still basically a flat listing of recent items sorted by date, except I made it so adjacent items are grouped together in one block if they happen to be from the same feed; resulting in something that would look quite nice in a narrow side frame or searchpane (IE-users can click here to open it in theirs--can't wait for Firebird to support this).

Source (script, template and stylesheet):
view-mv.php
view-mv.inc.html
view-mv.css

(Update: I have since totally changed the look of my /feeds/ page so don't be surprised if these templates make it look rather different)

My OPML is on-line, so I can watch my feeds anywhere I want. The only thing I really miss is a notification feature, telling you that there was a new post. To compensate I use a meta refresh-referral to the updatefile and back to the feedview again. But that isn't really the same.
