Thanks i was googling for myspace RSS and i found this much appreciation!

Thank you! Myspace's lack of RSS is quite irritating, and this should be quite useful.

great link! adding this to my rss reader. I do however get an error on a friends blog. here's the link.

http://weblog.randomchaos.com/myspace.php?myspace=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.myspace.com%2Findex.cfm%3Ffuseaction%3Dblog.ListAll%26friendID=5391884

am i doing something wrong?

LEON, there was an error in the script, which i corrected. it should work now.

you are the man. thank you.

yeah, fuck the Amish

How bout a rss feed for comments?

michael, thanks for the suggestion. See this:

http://weblog.randomchaos.com/myspace/comments/

thanks.. awesome i'll prob be using it on my site.. entrauge.com

Actually.. There is a bug on the comment parser.
Some of the comments are getting thrown out and some have the wrong name. :(

michael, thanks for letting me know about the bug. it should be fixed now.

Thanks so much

Is it just that I'm doing something wrong or does this script only recognize one blog entry per day?

Adam, that sounds like an error, but I can't find a myspace blog that has more than one entry per day to test on. If you can point me to one, I'll try to figure out what's wrong.

http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.ListAll&friendID=12215935&Mytoken=20050330170415

Adam, thanks for the test blog. It should work now.

i used RSSOwl...works great. have to use escape characters in the parameter to you php, tho. but beats logging into myspace. thanks! :> /.

i hate all of you scrubs

Is there anyway that I can use this to feed a blog on another website?

rory, yes, but I'd need more detail about what kind of site and if you have any programming ability to explain the best way to do that.

I've added you as a friend on MSN IM, if we could talk about it on there it would be much easier.

hi

can u please share php code to scrape mysapce

simon, see the "open source" link at the bottom of every page.

pk. i got the script
but do you think ur script ur work
if user change his blog display settings like
including html,css etc

I only know it works on the few dozen MySpace blogs I've tested it on, but if you discover any problems, I'll be happy to fix them.

how about the reverse? how can you get a blog hosted elsewhere with rss feed to show up on a myspace account?

missy, as far as I know, MySpace doesn't allow entering posts programatically, so you would have to do that yourself.

I have no idea how this works. I have no programming skills. Can you explain step-by-step how to get a rss feeder of my blog on myspace.com?

Monica, here are the steps:

1) Go to the MySpace blog
2) Copy the address
3) Go to the script linked above
4) Paste the address
5) Click the button
6) Subscribe in your news reader

thanks a lot!

Thanks Scott

Howdy! MySpace changed some of the elements on their blog system. There's an additional field (currently listening/gaming/reading/etc.), and it messes up the parser... Is there a patch that can be applied to fix that?

Myspace has added rss feeds into their blogs now, so I'll be using the internal feed. But I wanted to thank you for making such a great script that lasted me for so long. Great work Scott!

John, I believe the feed should work now. If it doesn't, let me know the account name/number and I'll try to fix it.

Is there a way to feed a non-myspace blog to your myspace blog? As in, can I feed my livejournal entries directly to myspace?

Mia, see my response about to missy, who asked the same question.

Yep, it did. But it doesn't work again. PHP error:


Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_date() in /home/smreynen/public_html/weblog/myspace/index.php on line 75

I'm guessing that your php version was updated?

I'm not sure what exactly changed, John, but it's fixed not.

i dont know.. everytime i try to use it i get "Sorry, there was an error loading the MySpace comments" why is this

Jordan, give me the comments URL (address) you're trying to use, and I'll look at it.

Doesn't seem to work on my blog.
http://blog.myspace.com/spazspaz

The application seems to not work on my server either.

I'm using source from:
http://www.randomchaos.com/source/?source=http%3A%2F%2Fweblog.randomchaos.com%2Fmyspace%2Fstandalone.php

Here's my phpinfo():
http://www.onesevensolutions.com/php5config.php5

hey Scott, there seems to be a problem with the parsing engine on my blog. my blog is not customized in any particular fashion, but it fails to parse the data period. so for testing, i went ahead and put more blog entries in and then it failed to display the first blog entry, but passed and displayed the remaining test messages. it should be noted that my blog currently contains only one entry. i will examine the PHP code and see if i may be able to determine the source of error. my blog site is at:
http://blog.myspace.com/spazspaz

David, looks like your blog has categories, which don't currently work with the parser. I'll try to update it when I get a chance. Meanwhile, you could always use the abbreviated feeds provided by MySpace.

can u do the same rss for a the www.downelink.com blog

q, no, downelink is a closed community, so I couldn't easily access it from a script. But the script is open source if you'd like to try.

Your code seems to parse based on table element order. Point being, it doesn't seem to work on pages with a top8 override.

Rob, I have no idea what top8 override means. Can you provide an example page? In general, my code is dependent on MySpace maintaining consistant HTML formatting throughout the site. When the formatting changes, my code breaks. I don't work for MySpace, so I have no control over this.

Interesting. There are some sites out there like www.ribix.com that automatically aggregate alot of rss feeds to be viewed in a web browser. They have some really interesting stuff.

Scott, do you think you could provide an open source version of your script? I would like to edit it around a little. Give you full credit of course :)

Thanks,
Steve

for the comment rss that is :)

Steve, the link at the bottom of every page on my site, the one that says "open source," that links to the, well, open source.

Hey, does anyone happen to know how to post a comment on all of your friend's pages? I actually found a Perl script to do it, but I honestly don't feel like setting up my pc to do it. (yeah I'm lazy)

i noticed if the friend id isnt iserted into the links , all the links that the feed trys to link ot the actual myspace blog wont work. it needs the persons friend id inserted into the link and the generator doesnt seem to insert it in there.

You can also import RSS feeds into MySpace using a tool I wrote that turns them into images - www.myspacefeed.com

Were do i find some new MS layouts?

Thanks,
Steve

Do you have time to discuss a new project, outside of myspace but still on the subject of RSS?

Dinog, I tried emailing you and the message bounced. If you want to discuss a project, email me.

Question is, how to make RSS work for the blog poster in myspace? I've been look around but non has a layman term and simple explanation for dummy like me.

want to learn, I'm not clear on what you're asking. What specifically do you want to do?

LOVE IT ! ...One question though , how can I make it display all my blogs , It is only showing 10 , may be my reader in Safari ...
feed://blog.myspace.com/blog/rss.cfm?friendID=48552345

Ada, MySpace only shows 10 posts per page, so that's all you get in the feed.

Thanks , yes I figured that in order to display more than one post in the myspacemusic blogs , one has to make the blog settings to display 10 posts per page . I assume it is the same on all the blog systems on myspace . So if you have the settings of the blog to display each post in a separate page , for some reason the RSS only displays the listing of the first post . In order to display at least the 10 allotted by myspace , one has to make the blog display the max (10) posts per page . I hope this makes sense .
Either way it is awesome and I am spreading the word . Thanks again . feed://blog.myspace.com/blog/rss.cfm?friendID=48588356

Does anyone know how to put the bottom links inside the profile, rather than underneath? Or get ride of them fully.

PS. an example is

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=14860351

Hum. This is kind of the OPPOSITE of what I want to do. I want to post to my LJ blog and feed the RSS to my Myspace blog... unless anyone knows an easier way to duplicate post to Myspace FROM LJ???

Kudos to all the good work!

How hard would it be to alter this script so it created an rss feed for myspace bands and there upcoming gigs?

Ryno, I'll put that on my lengthy to-do list. If you'd like it moved to the top of the list, I accept freelance work.

MySpace has built-in RSS feeds *points to HTML for blog*



See? Works dandy.

Joe, MySpace added RSS feeds after I made my feed tool. I try to avoid reinventing wheels. I've kept my feeds up because MySpace's feeds are still only the first few lines of each post, so they don't do as much as my full-text feeds. But if they work for you, you should use them because my feeds are dependent on their HTML formatting, which is likely to change without notice at some point and break the feeds (though I'll certainly fix them as long as I can).

Oh! Mmkay. I popped my feeds into Thunderbird and set it to automatically download the URL associated with an entry. Sorry to be a bother.

myspace has rss?

Yes, MySpace has RSS. If you open any "view all" blog listing, there's a link at the top.

What about atom?

My page is hidden so it can't read the blog. How do I fix?

Namorbrowneeyes, I can't help you with hidden content because I can't see it. That's what "hidden" means.

Please forgive me if this has been covered, but I'd like to display a blog on my myspace page DIRECTLY (without having to follow their link);in fact, I'd like to eliminate those areas altogether and display only the actual blog. Is this possible? Is that the idea of RSS?

emil, if you need help with what's on your MySpace page, you should ask MySpace about it. I'm making tools that allow take content you created on MySpace and use it elsewhere.

Scott,. i want to add the "boingboing" (boingboing.com) rss feed to my myspace page,. is this possible? whether it be in the blog section or the main page,. could you explain to me how to do this? if its possible..

The comment RSS feeder doesnt work, it crashes.

Mario, I already answered that. I guess it's time to make a FAQ.

Jason, what blog are you trying? It crashes your browser or is there an error message? I need more detail to solve a problem.

does anyone know how to add rss to a my myspace page from my blog
http://myspace.com/justbthat. Please Help me

Hi. Is there anyway that you can create an rss feed for the upcoming shows from a bands myspace? As this would save me hours of time adding new shows in multiple places! this would be much appriciated. please let me know at:

mail(at)dankingsley(dot)co(dot)uk

Thanks.

Dan, that's on my to-do list. If you're interested in funding the work, you can easily move it up my to-do list. Otherwise, I'll let you know when I get to it.

Trying create an RSS feed to Myspace from Yahoo 360. This is what I entered and I get an error...
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=55796884

Hello, is there a feed for MySpace event dates too? Thanks

Sorry I am brand new at all of this, and I know everyone has little patience with newbies, but here is what I've got... I have a blog at http://blog.familydobes.com that I want to synicate over to my blog at myspace so I can update just one and have it show both places. It sounds simple enough can someone help me?

I doubt I'll ever use this, but Scott's the man... just for answering the same questions over and over so patiently. Seriously. Bravo.

That is one of the coolest things I've seen lately...thanks for sharing it!

My question is inline to what "Scott Reynen" was asking but I couldn't follow the conversation on here. Is there a way to insert a RSS feed READER into ur myspace profile page so that viewers can see an RSS feed from another source on my page?

Im retarted I didn't realize that the person who posted the comments name was BELOW the comment, therefore I didn't understand anything that was going on... Sorry scott, lol

*Answer* I've got a flash news feed on my myspace running off of an xml file located on my server. Go to http://www.myspace.com/butterflyfoundation to check it out. This is fed off of a file located at http://www.ebarts.com/darfur/news.xml (I will provide you the source code if you can volunteer some of your time to help me with another rss feed to flash project I am currently working on. This program incorporates pulling an rss yahoo news feed onto a flash program compatible to myspace profiles. Thanks - Brian

Hey Brian, that's pretty slick. Send me an email with more details of what you need if you want to talk about some sort of code exchange.

Did you try Anothr.com to get just-in-time alert with Myspace RSS via Skype chat?

Hi! does any here knows how to reverse table column for downelink page?? will be much appreciated.. thnx!

I'm not using the script, but Scott, you are my new hero, simply for answering everyone's questions and providing all your stuff open-source...and I like this comment format.

so you say this is open source eh? I dont see the link for the source, maybe I'm just blind. This is perfect for me, since the guy I do a site for hates to post his tour dates in two locations. I just want the source for http://makedatamakesense.com/myspace/event/ so I can tweak it a little bit.
:0)
Thanks in advance.
Kirk
http://www.jeffellismusic.com

Sorry Kirk, I no longer host the source code for the weblog stuff (this post is almost three years old), and the event stuff was never open source. If you have general interest tweaks, I'd be happy to make them myself so everyone can use them. Otherwise, you're on your own.

bummer. i just want to make sure that it will always be up and the be able to customize the date output.. well mainly the output in general. this is the best script i have found to do this, so i would really like to get it to work, plus allow visitors to get an rss feed of it at the our domain instead of yours.... no offense you know how it is.

let me know what we can do / work out passably.

kirk

kirk, a lot of people have asked for that and my main hesitation has been figuring out how to quickly distribute updates every time MySpace updates their HTML and breaks the scripts. But I'm going to revisit that over the next couple weeks and hopefully come up with a solution you can use. I'll publish that here when it's available.

Man this is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thanks!

KUDOS to Scott Reynen for providing his time & effort. As you can see from the posts, there is interest in your code. Everyone seems to appreciate your selflessness! Way To Go!!!

I CAN BE NUMBA ONE OH THREE

Ah, looking for a way to RSS the status updates on MySpace!
