Hello,

Have you checked the RSS XSL Transformation tutorial?

In Example 2 it does what you require, if you don't want the publish date, then just remove the publish date line from the code below:

Note: - I would take the code from the example 2 page that you can download rather than from above to ensure the code is correctly laid out.

- I've noticed the forum has inserted some <script> elements in there which are not in the actual code

Lee,

I love the site and am a very happy subscriber, thanks. I am using the DNN News 3.01.00 module under DNN 4.0.2 and I have used your examples and the tutorial to build on for viewing RSS 2.0 feeds in many configurations, but I am having trouble with an older feed format. I thought that the RDF format was the old RSS 0.9, but when I try and use either the RSS91.xsl template or any of the variants you've supplied (or I have altered) that work perfectly in RSS 2.0, all I get is unformatted data. The first few lines on the file I am trying to transform is:

I have read on the dotnetnuke.com News Project Forum that the News module does not handle old versions of RSS properly. Is this the issue, or is there a style sheet that will read RDF files properly under News 3.01.00? It looks like the current Beta in the project area is still pretty unstable, so I didn't want to try that. Any advice? Many thanks.

sorry, the text of the file header didn't seem to come through on my post. The top of the xml file is:

well sorry about that, 0 for 2. The forum must strip out the text for some reason.

Hello,

Glad to hear you are happy with your subsctiption, perhaps you would like to add a testimonial in the forum? http://www.dnncreative.com/Forum/ta...fault.aspx

If you use the example 4 RSS XSL transformation file, the RSS feed will display correctly:
