Hi, Iam sorry if this is a stupid question or if it has been asked before, but I couldnt find an answer.
Now iam no tech guy, and iam struggling to get feed on my website from my affiliate partners, I probably missing something really simple but I cant manage.
Hers an example of a feed Unibet.com have given me.
Url:http://ads-cdn.unibet.com/orval/feed/external/unibet-casino/winners...
Tracking url:http://adserving.unibet.com/redirect.aspx?pid=41544&bid=4942...
My question is, how do I get the rss block to display theese feeds?
when I add them I get the error. oops, its look like you`ve entered an invalid feed..
For all I know this are valid feed adresses, but something is wrong (probably the Url) but I dont know.

ok, thank you for reply. according to the site its a XML feed, but I dont know. Iam just gonna give it up.
RSS and Atom feeds are XML, but an XML feed is not necessarily an Atom or RSS feed.

one more thing, at the site this is their 123 on how to add it, may that help you in figuring out a way for me to use it on my site?
To use these XML feeds, you will need to use a scripting language such as PHP to read the data into your database. You can then manipulate and display the data stored in your database on your own sites.
For example, by using the casino winner feed you can create a flash movie that uses feed data to show
this is a url to what it should look like.

As stated in the quote you provided, to make use of that data requires some programming experience with PHP, which happens to be the server-side scripting language that C5 uses. Thus, you either need some coding experience, or you need find someone who can do it for you.
The data they are providing is NOT an RSS or Atom feed - i.e. it's not what's commonly referred to as a "news" or "syndication" feed. It's provided in a format that could be converted and displayed in any way you choose (including an RSS feed), but that requires some programming.
You can post to the jobs forum if you're interested in hiring a developer for the job.

thanks for reply
Neither is a valid RSS or Atom news feed, so the RSS Displayer block won't display them as such. The first URL is an XML data feed of some kind, but it's not a standard news (RSS or Atom) feed. I know nothing about Unibet, but you might have to re-examine whatever it is you read. You might have misunderstood something.
