Templates & RSS feed datasource
by Daniel Westergren on Sep 18, 2009 at 11:00:47 pm

I'm trying to fill a template with news articles from an RSS feed. In the example in the manual, the item ID's correspond to the layer name in Photoshop. But what with a "normal" RSS feed, where the item fields are , <description> etc.? How are the Photoshop layers supposed to be named? <br> <br>I'm thinking of using this both as an overlay ticker (with titles and possibly publish date) and as normal playlist events with a template, with title, publish time and description (news details). <br> <br> <!-- End of post content --> </div><br clear="all"/> <br /> <A HREF="#reply_box">Respond to this post</A>   •   <A HREF="http://forums.creativecow.net/1080dots#60">Return to posts index</A>   •   <A HREF="http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/256/60#60">Read entire thread</A><br /> <br /><br /> <B>Current Message Thread:</B><BR/> <ul class="bulletfree"><li><b>Templates & RSS feed datasource</b> by Daniel Westergren on Sep 18, 2009 at 11:00:47 pm<ul class="bulletfree"><li><a href="http://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/256/61">Re: Templates & RSS feed datasource</a> by Dirk Provily on Sep 20, 2009 at 9:55:44 am<ul class="bulletfree"><li><a href="http://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/256/62">Re: Templates & RSS feed datasource</a> by Daniel Westergren on Sep 20, 2009 at 11:10:56 am<ul class="bulletfree"><li><a href="http://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/256/63">Template doesn't parse datasource</a> by Daniel Westergren on Sep 20, 2009 at 12:14:29 pm<ul class="bulletfree"><li><a href="http://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/256/64">Re: Template doesn't parse datasource</a> by Dirk Provily on Sep 20, 2009 at 5:56:52 pm<ul class="bulletfree"><li><a href="http://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/256/65">Re: Template doesn't parse datasource</a> by Daniel Westergren on Sep 20, 2009 at 6:55:20 pm<ul class="bulletfree"><li><a href="http://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/256/66">Re: Template doesn't parse datasource</a> by Dirk Provily on Sep 21, 2009 at 9:44:20 am<ul class="bulletfree"><li><a href="http://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/256/67">Re: Template doesn't parse datasource</a> by Daniel Westergren on Sep 21, 2009 at 6:06:22 pm<ul class="bulletfree"><li><a href="http://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/256/68">Re: Template doesn't parse datasource</a> by Dirk Provily on Sep 22, 2009 at 2:02:08 pm<ul class="bulletfree"><li><a href="http://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/256/72">Re: Template doesn't parse datasource</a> by Richard Williams on Oct 6, 2009 at 3:36:36 pm<ul class="bulletfree"><li><a href="http://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/256/73">Re: Template doesn't parse datasource</a> by Daniel Westergren on Oct 6, 2009 at 6:03:16 pm</ul></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul></ul><HR NOSHADE SIZE=1> <BR/> <DIV ALIGN="Center"> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> <!-- document.write('<SCR'+'IPT src="http://gyr2.creativecow.net/advertpro/servlet/view/banner/javascript/zone?zid=18&pid=0&random='+Math.floor(89999999*Math.random()+10000000)+'&millis='+new Date().getTime()+'" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></SCR'+'IPT>'); //--> </SCRIPT> <NOSCRIPT><A href="http://gyr2.creativecow.net/advertpro/servlet/click/zone?zid=18&pid=0&lookup=true&position=1" target="_top" rel="nofollow"><IMG src="http://gyr2.creativecow.net/advertpro/servlet/view/banner/image/zone?zid=18&pid=0&position=1" hspace="0" vspace="0" border="0"> </A></NOSCRIPT> </DIV> <BR/> <BR/> <A NAME="reply_box"></A> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> <!-- var BROWSER_SAFARI = (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Safari") != -1) ? true : false; var orig_poster_name = "Daniel Westergren"; var quoteResults = true; function quoteSelectedText (e) { if (! quoteResults) return; var rhett = ""; var erste; if (BROWSER_SAFARI) { rhett = window.getSelection(); erste = e.keyCode; } else if ((document.getSelection) && (BROWSER_NET_SIX)) { rhett = document.getSelection(); erste = e.which; if (rhett != "") window.getSelection().removeAllRanges(); } else if ((document.selection) && (document.selection.createRange)) { rhett = document.selection.createRange().text; erste = event.keyCode; } else if ((document.getSelection) && (!
