Nexus system feature requests

Cory, we have rolled out RSS feeds for the blurb and the Comments.  It should be easy enough to incorporate those into a website by using jquery.

I have thrown together a quick example here for you.

Disclaimer: I'm not a pro at jQuery and there may be a better way, this is just one way

If you have posted a blurb, either go to your Control Panel and get the RSS feed link or on your MyPage there will be a RSS feed link available.  Copy the link to your Blurb RSS Feed.  In your case, it would be https://planetnexus.net/nexsys/rss/168

However, since you haven't made a blurb (as of yet), we will use my blurb link which is https://planetnexus.net/nexsys/rss/2

Now, put a division where you would like the blurb to be displayed:

Code:

<div id="rssfeed"></div>

Afterwards, put the following:

Code:

<script>
$.get("https://planetnexus.net/nexsys/rss/2", function(data) {
   var $RSS = $(data);
   $RSS.find("item").each(function() {
       var $this = $(this),
           item = {
               title: $this.find("title").text(),
               description: $this.find("description").text()
           };
       $('#rssfeed').append($('<div id="feedtitle">').html(item.title));
       $('#rssfeed div#feedtitle').after($('<div>').html(item.description));
   });
});
</script>

You should now have the posted blurb displayed inside the division you created with an ID of rssfeed.

Here's an example of it in action: https://planetnexus.net/nexsys/blurb-rss-test

Disclaimer 2: no styling has been used to make it pretty and such
