Inserting RSS into a page

How would I go about inserting the v7n forums RSS into the v7n home page?

I just want like the titles of a few recent posts to show up there.

The feeds are currently provided in two formats, RSS and RSS v2. The differences are as follows:

RSS 0.91 - This feed is based on a standard written by netscape and provides a link and the title of the thread.
http://www.v7n.com/forums/external.php?type=rss
RSS 2.0 - This feed contains title, author, date and the contents of the first post of the thread.
http://www.v7n.com/forums/external.php?type=rss2

It's probably a hack you can find on vBulletin.org. Or you can use JavaScript.

The stuff on vBulletin.org is probably easier to use, though.

Damn you Spear. I want something like this:

Code:
<simple code//rss.feed. rss.location=http://www.v7n.com/forums/external.php?type=rss end.simple code>
If I were a coder, everything would be that simple.

Yeah, I know, what do you want it to display like, I will change the code then send it,

you will just do like
Code:
<?php $url = "http://url/to/rssfeed"; echo getRSSFeed($url); function getRSSFeed($url) { ... } ?>
but I will go ahead and make it in format you want, so you dont have to mess with it, i.e. simple for you

I want to use RSS 0.91 because the other version includes too much info.

I want to put it on the v7n home page, and I'd think the css would take care of the font color and size, no?

K, JS, go to same url -> http://m3lt.getmyip.com/php/rss/ and put in rss2.0 (other version doesnt have author) and tell me what you think, and number you want to display.


EDIT: Want me to do one of those nifty scripts where it adds ... to the end if length of topic is too long? If so, at how many characters?
