Showing news from particular category

[darac]

I have CMSMS installed in folder "blog" and I'm using it as blog.
Is there any way to show news from a particular category somewhere outsite folder "blog", in some .php file that doesn't relate to CMSMS in any way?

You can have your blog produce an RSS feed that the other PHP file can read.

Not sure:

Let cmsms create an url for reference (of course with category etc in it) and append '&showtemplate=false' to that url (of first argument then '?showtemplate=false')

Use that url from within your other php file.

thanks guys. I haven't thought about RSS at all

[Wishbone]

To expand on Velden's idea, you can do the &showtemplate=false trick, and <__iframe> it into any other PHP or HTML.

I was thinking about that <__iframe> solution
But it would be great if I could set up RSS to show fresh news

[darac]

is it possible somehow to do showtemplate=my_template

or another idea:
you could use the Cache remote file plugin. Set the url to a hidden page with your news/blog items and a blank template if you wish. Then you could tweak the destination folder and name in the plugin file (top lines with settings)
