Kiva RSS + FeedAPI + Views + Views Slideshow
Sun, 04/19/2009 - 21:11 — David Moore
In addition to the kiva module, I'm experimenting with other ways to consume Kiva info.
For example, I'm having the site suck up the (soon to be deprecated?) RSS business feed. Using the amazing FeedAPI, I'm turning the loans into nodes, then creating a rotating view (on the left-hand side) via Views Slideshow. Pretty cool.
