Advice on whether this can be done

My b2evolution Version: Not Entered

I would like users of my software, when the start up the program to get a message that my software blog has a new message.

To do this I need some way that my software can determine whether a new entry has been posted. Is there some way that some software can determine if an entry has been made.

I haven't tried it myself but I guess it is the same kind of thing that all RSS readers do so it shouldn't be too hard to put something together or find a library to do it for you.

Hi Bernard,

What language are you talking about?
Yes, likely the XML feed is a good starting point.

Greetings

I would use either .net or vb.net

What I was thinking it would be nice to have a file of the last 8 topics with dates and times. Then somehow I could in merge it into our main site
www.possolutions.com.au
and show it there as the latest topic on the blog.

To ¥åßßå Blonde Bimbo, I cannot see where the bad redirect is it could you please tell me.

If I go here [url=http://www.posbrowser.com.au/]http://www.posbrowser.com.au/[/url] then I get a js redirect based on my browser res 1680 x 1050 ( when I enable js :roll: ).

This then redirects me to here [url=http://www.possolutions.com.au/index.html]http://www.possolutions.com.au/index.html[/url] ( which has the code I posted above ) which then redirects me to here [url=http://site.com/page.html]http://site.com/page.html[/url] ( when I enable redirects :roll: )

Hell of a path to get to a 404 huh? :D
