Hi,
I used to use a module called RSS2HTML to embed external RSS feeds into my site. This module doesn't seem to work properly with the lastest 1.4.1. I know there are other modules like piRSS, simplerss but I don't know if any of those are working properly with the latest version of the core module?
Does any use a rss reader on a CMSMS 1.4.1 site?

yes I do
get lastrss
http://lastrss.oslab.net/ , put it in a folder like /custom
the create a UDT , name it getfeed
customize the output the way you need it
Code: Select all
require_once("custom/lastrss.php");
$rss = new lastRSS;
// setup transparent cache
$rss->cache_dir = '/tmp/cache';
$rss->cache_time = 3600; // one hour
// load some RSS file
if ($rs = $rss->get($params['url'])) {
if ($params['type']=="latestul")
{
$r.= '<ul class="feeds">';
foreach ($rs['items'] as $post)
{
$r.= '<li><a href="'.$post['link'].'" rel="external">'.$post['title'].'</a></li>';
}
$r.= '</ul>';
}
return $r;
}
works great for me, has caching capabilities, I think it´s the better option
use it like
Code: Select all
{getfeed url="http://www.wordpress.com/rss"}

Greetings viebig,
Your post...
----------------
get lastrss
http://lastrss.oslab.net/ , put it in a folder like /custom
the create a UDT , name it getfeed
customize the output the way you need it
My Doubt:-
=======
I download the lastrss file from the
http://lastrss.oslab.net site.
I couldn't understand UDT. Can you explain briefly and one more thing I copy and paste your code(getfeed.php -- I give the file name), this code contains files are separately are index.php please explain.
{getfeed url="
http://www.wordpress.com/rss"}
I got the following error. please advise me.
string(119) "Smarty error: [in template:15 line 107]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'getfeed' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 590)"
Thanks & Regards,
Kumaran

ok.. a UDT is a User Defined Tag, it´s apirce of php code that cmsms can store on the database instead of a file.
In admin goto Extensions -> User Defined Tags
create a new one and name it getfeed.
insert the code from previous message, and edit it to point to your lassrss php path.
Then {getfeed} will process what in on the getfeed UDT.
This error is because there is no getfeed smarty plugin or UDT.
You need to create and name a udt before using it.
Good Luck msn: viebig at hotmail
