Since Halo 2 came out bungie.net has a excellent rss2.0 feed for the game. There is some minor problems with the feeds such as, the newest is at the bottom and Minor Clanmatch shows up as Rumble Pit.

Anyhow, I would like to encorporate these RSS feeds into my website with a RSS > HTML javascript or php script. I admit i do not know much about building websites or RSS, but i have done extensive research and have found that many sites offer RSS > Javascript which you can implement into a website. But every site i found whenever you refresh it, or load it up the first time it gives you either the parsed feed of the last feed you just parsed, or some random players feed.

I have tried many many differant RSS to Javascript sites, and http://www.rss-to-javascript.com/ seems to be the best, but it still does it. The second best would have to be : http://www.howdev.com/services/feedsweep/create_adv.asp? . Because it will make your most recent games to the top, i picked the first one because i thought it looked nicer.

What i am trying to get at is where would I find a perl or good javascript to rss script. I am sure someone else has already tried or found this.

I hope that TM means it is open source :). I have tried LastRSS (doesnt decode the HTML tags in description), and MagPieRSS (which i can only get to work with just the titles right now). The one I am currently using for the site is : http://www.aggreg8.net/RSS/RSSParser.php. I am actually just linking my site to that when ever they click on the stat page for a individual, because i cant get that php script to work. I am totally new to PHP and it is not commented at all.

I have also seen that the random parsing of another persons rss feed is not the programs fault, but i believe is bungies. Because when i tried clicking on my orange XML button one time it gave me some random guys RSS feed, and not my own. So I believe bungie needs to work a little on that, also I DO know that when you play a Minor Clanmatch it shows up as Rumble Pit in the file. It would also be nice to get the peoples RSS file of the members of your clan if you are Staff or Overlord.
