Re: XML of the FIRST Q & A system

hey.

Just to let ya all know..

The cron now works. That means that the xml data that you pull will be updated from the USFIRST site every 15 minutes.

Also.. If you're looking for an easy way to display a link directly to a specific Q&A, you can use...

http://my.usfirst.org/frc/qas/FMPro?...ind=&-token.3=

Set -token.3= Like the first 75 chars of the question or something. That will then search the Q&A's for whatever you put as -token.3 As long as you have enough of the question so that there is only one Q&A that matches it, you'll be good.

Maybe I'll get around to posting some code to parse the xml.. i dunno

Jack
