I have multiple rss feeds on a particular URL. How can I display these inside the app and allow end users to follow certain feeds?

Hi lllya.
I did look over that question before posting this. I'm looking to display all the feeds so that the user can choose which to follow not convert into a single feed. Am I making sense?
Thanks for the reply

It depends on what kind of rss feeds is the source. Can you post here your feed link?

Yeah sure. I have a wordpress site with multiple authors. It is only in construction at the moment.
One of the feeds is www.classupdate.com.au/author/mrbytha...
so each author has a feed and I was wanting to just display the feed link so the end user can nominate which feed to follow.

Hello! Could you clarify you have a few authors and a few links to rss feed?
http://classupdate.com.au/author/auth...
http://classupdate.com.au/author/auth...
http://classupdate.com.au/author/auth...
Do you want user to select on one page rss feed of authors he wants to read and then on rss feed page show rss of selected authors? Or for example show on page the list of authors and on click on any author navigate to page with his rss? Could you describe in more details what are you going to do?

Yes your first discription is what I am after. So the front page shows the latest posts from the nominated authors. The second page show a list of feeds that are available from my website so that users could choose which ones to follow on the front page.

Hello! Trere are a few ways to do that.
1) How to get authors feed on second page. We're not sure is there any API on your site to get authors list. If there is an API you can use it in REST services. If there is no API you can store authors list in DB. The main thing is to get author name (which you're going to show user in app) and his login or id (something from feed address, for example mrbythatmuch). Once you have names list and authors id you would need to form checkbox. All authors which user is signed on you can store in localStorage variable (store their ids as JSON array). These links should help http://docs.appery.io/documentation/r...

2) How to show feeds on first page. The problem is that you'll have a few services to get each feed of author which user is signed on. Bacause of that you can't just use mapping in service. You would need to use JS to add data from service on page:

retrieve ids array of authors which users are signed on from localStorage
for each author invoke service to get rss feed (this should help https://getsatisfaction.com/apperyio/...)
on service Success event using JS show data on page http://docs.appery.io/documentation/r...
