Of course, other than what the acronym means (Really Simple Syndication), I never really looked much into it. I know basic css and html, but never really got involved in xhtml, xml, or any of the .js and stuff because i really am, you know, lazy
)
Of course, I think I found the laziest way out I possibly could. While hardly a ground breaking program, it *is* good enough at the moment to peruse the mailing list. I really can't believe I did not do this much earlier.
This is the very early not quite alpha prototype which of course is using nothing more than the htmlText feature of the field (yes, I know it isn't feature complete, but I am pretty sure I can correct the deficiencies in formatting by using other regular tools available in Lc's language).
- Simple, like me :D
Code: Select all
on threadsFetch
// set up the current date to be appended to the url...
put item 3 of the long date & "-" & word 1 of item 2 of the long date into tmpArchive
/* put chartoNum(character 1 of tmpArchive) <- for some reason, a space is being inserted into tmpArchive??? */
delete character 1 of tmpArchive // initially, I tried 'filter tmpArchive without space', but for some reason that did not work :(
put "http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-livecode/" before tmpArchive
/* I plan to have tmpArchive autoupdate, and at some point the complete archives will be loadable as well. Probably use a table for this... */
// use-list base address is "http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-livecode/" and the "year-Month"...
// an example would be ("http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-livecode/2019-January/")
set the htmlText of field 1 to url (tmpArchive) // remarkably effective...
end threadsFetch
on openStack
threadsFetch
end openStack
on linkClicked pLink -- open the URL stored with the clicked text, will probably modify this over time...
set the htmlText of field 2 to url ("http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-livecode/2019-January/" & pLink)
end linkClicked
on mouseUp
// didn't feel like adding a button, so clicking anywhere on the card will start the routine...
openStack
end mouseUp
*Edit - I should add it already does a better job of displaying the list and messages than any of the mail list to feed readers I tried before I started writing this
and I almost never crack open the 8.x and up versions, so I didn't know you even changed the name 
), fantastic work there Richard! I suspect your also behind the nabble stuff I've come across eh
