Hello,
Is there some way to read the following external XML RSS feed that is in a given URL:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
<item>
<title>PlayerName01</title>
<R2_UID>49373</R2_UID>
<city_state_country>Cd. Juarez, CH MEX</city_state_country>
<gender>Male</gender>
<player_image></player_image>
<rank>1</rank>
<ranking_points>13220</ranking_points>

<title>PlayerName02</title>
<R2_UID>32507</R2_UID>

The idea is to read it and put the feed inside a page or widget. However, the problem is that the feed contains custom elements, while all the plugins I've seen so far just allow to retrieve the information from the elements: <title>, <description>, <date>, and <link>, and as you can see the feed just has the title and the others are custom elements. I don't have access to modify the feed, which means I need to try to fit to it. Any ideas?
