Dealer-feed

I am trying to set up a web page with info about some products I contacted the dealer about some help with information regarding products. They told me they would send me a link to a dealer feed, I have to type in a password to access site. Then I get this txt file with all the information about products links to images ect. How do I get this set up in dreamweaver. I'm not finding anyone who has any idea what I'm talking about.

         Thanks

    Correct answer Jon Fritz

    I'm assuming the pricing of the products was specific to dealers and likely had several steps (like dealer, distributor, wholesaler) where the same products will appear with the correct price depending on the log in information.

    There's really nothing built into DW that will do something like that for you, at least from within the click and drag user interface/menu system. However, if you understand a server-side language (like PHP) and how to work with databases (like mySQL), you could hand code something like that relatively easily within DW.

    A good place to start with PHP would be a book or two, PHP Solutions by David Powers or PHP Novice to Ninja by Kevin Yank are both good beginner resources.

    1. Mr.Fritz II,

    I have look at the side-sever and the RSS feed dreamfeed, wasn’t sure which one to try to work with. I will do some more reading on the side-server. I found a web page with some examples , but I have not been able to get them to work. (http://alt-web.blogspot.com/2011/06/adding-blogger-rss-feed-to-html-page.html). I must not have something correct yet?

    I have creatived a page called test.php

    <!DOCTYPE
    html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

    <html
    xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

    <head>

    <meta
    http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
    charset=utf-8" />

    <title>Untitled
    Document</title>

    </head>

    <body>

    <p> </p>

    <p> </p>

    <p>

      <!--#include
    file="rss2html/rss2html.php" -->

    </p>

    </body>

    </html>

    If I am understanding correctly I have a button on home page taking me to test.php the <!--#include file="rss2html/rss2html.php" --> should take me to my rss file

    $XMLfilename = "http://franksguns:******@www.airventuri.com/dealerfeed/dealer-new.txt?alt=rss******@www.airventuri.com/dealerfeed/dealer-new.txt?alt=rss";

    Which should open my Dealer-Feed It looks like they are including a template with the feed. Here is just a little from top of page
