Dashcode Podcast Data Source

[Ed]

Hi

I'm racking my brains on this one.

Made a podcast web app on Dashcode.
Dashcode says it has to be locally hosted, but my podcast is on a
different DNS from where I want to deploy the app.

www.mydomain.com/mypodcast - is where I want the app.
feeds.mydomain.com/mypodcast - is where I host my podcast.

Can anyone help me fix this?
I'm new to Dashcode, but an old hand at javascript.

Many thanks guys

Ed - The Dashcode RSS template also has similar restrictions. It
requires the feed to be hosted on the same domain as the web app.

Not sure that I've heard of a workaround outside making it a native
app. Not sure you wanted to do that though. Shout out again if you
want to go from web app to native... there are ways to get there with
a minimum of fuss.

Is it possible to run a little application on he server that redirects
you to the actual podcasts, ie. the iphone app calls the app on your
feeds.mydomain, which in turn redirects it.

Some webservers allow you to configure them in a way that will allow
cross domain.

Or as someone pointed out you could write a native application, just
make sure you include enough functionality that can't be duplicated in
safari. To avoid rejection.

You can always proxy the feed with a tiny php program on the server
that hosts the app.

You can also do this using a htaccess file afaik

I may take the native option.

I'm running my site off my MobileMe server so PHP and htaccess is out
of the picture.
(I do have access to a server with PHP, where I currently run a
phpcalendar for the site)

This will be my first attempt at using dashcode but I'm up for a new
callenge.
How can I change a web app to native?

Many thanks

i would say:
- get a mac
- download and install the iPhone SDK
- buy a couple of books on how to develop with Xcode/interface builder ... and some aspirin :)
- app store access will cost you 300$, and app proposal 90$ each time

You could probably use most of the code you have now in a native app,
but apple will reject it because it basically does what safari does.
You will need to add features that can't be done in safari. location,
camera etc. come to mind. But there are other sdk's to.

Read this it will give you some idea what I have in mind.
