I and my friend are developing a intranet website for our company.I have provided a page with rss feeds from news sites for latest headlines. the problem is that everyone in the company does not has internet access . So they can't view the page.One method of doing it will be that page is opened on the webserver ,where it shows the page contents and then this copied into another page.link of which is provided to other users. But how can this be done automatically without user intervention???:confused:

Your post may make my head hurt but I'll give this a shot...

So let me recap that way if I have that wrong you'll redirect me.

1. your making an intranet site.
2. you have a RSS feed setup from a news site.
3. not all computers have internet access.

NOW I need this ANSWER:
Why are some people not on the internet? (your answer here is KEY)

IF you answer is anywhere near; that they're not on the network you have more problems than we can fix here in this posting.

If that's not your answer please go into detail on the office setup.

Report back and we'll move forward.

they do not have access, i mean that their computers are not connected to the internet through the server. For accessing internet some guys have been given username and passwords;only they can access internet; rest can't.
so to make up for that, i was developing this site.

ok so they're all networked together... well you certainly have a number of battles to deal with here...

You need to have a PC setup as a web server... if you have any servers currently running NT4 or higher your task will be much simpler. If not you can get "personal web servers" online to run on another computer.

Keep in mind that if your looking to have "fresh content" you'll need to make sure that computer has internet access. That PC will have to collect the conent then combine it for pages viewable by the not net enabled computers.

now just because they can connect to an internal web server does or will not give them access to the internet only pages that you have created on the "intranet" and they will not be able to get RSS feeds you have coded to that page.

I can only imagine why the company doesn't want them on the internet but keep in mind that this may be a thankless effort on your part. I would highly suggest you look for intranet software. It may have some options for the automation of tasks.

ok i already have the web server as well as the intranet site on the PC with internet access; but how do I cache or copy the content of page with RSS feeds links so that the page where content is copied is given a link to others to view.:confused: :confused: :confused:
