Abstract. We made a web mash-up offering access to interest
informations for college students based on news feeds provided by
the faculty website, fiistudent blog and @fiistudent from Twitter. The
user can filter the news based on keywords entered.
Keywords: cliw, infoiasi, web, project
1 Introduction
This is an instruction file for our project. The project is about filtering information
from feeds by the user’s keywords.
1.1 Additional Information for using interface of project
You have to enter in search box some keywords about what you want to read from
feeds. There are only 3 feeds: infoiasi.ro website, fiistudent blog and twitter
@fiistudent.
2 Project Presentation
The project is coded in HTML/CSS, PHP and Javascript. We used a parser
function for parsing the XML files and extract by item tag. We used find function for
finding the item tag and some child tags: title, description and link.
The project have 1 important file and 3 php files for rss links. First file contains the
javascript functions and html format. The rest of three files contains file_get_content
function from php ,one for each rss for taking the rss link.
The javascript functions are for parsing the rss file. We made such of function
three times for each rss file like the code bellow:
Also in this file we made some functions for hide/show the rss content divs. This file
contains also the html format for page.
The front page looks like the screenshot bellow:

4. 2.4 Program Code
Parse RSS Function:
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "getway.php",
dataType: "xml",
success: xmlParser
});
function xmlParser(xml) {
//var sb = $("#searchbox").val();
//var sb = document.searchform.searchbox.value;
// alert(sb);
searchInput = "data,baze";
var keyWordsArray = searchInput.split(",");
var keyArrayLength = keyWordsArray.length;
for(var j = 0; j < keyArrayLength; j++) {
$(xml).find("item").each(function () {
var title = $(this).find("title").text();
var description = $(this).find("description").text();
var newsLink = $(this).find("link").text();
if(searchKeyWords(keyWordsArray[j],description) > -1)
$("#siteres").append('<h2>' + title + '</h2><p>' +
description + '</p><a href="' + newsLink + '">Permanent Link</a>');
}); }
}
