RSS feed reader

[junito]

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



Can you explain that

[viebig]

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
