Does anyone have any experience in using MagpieRSS to integrate blog posts into a custom HTML block?
Basically, it uses php to nab some items from your blog’s RSS feed. Here is the code that I’m putting into a custom HTML block:
".$item['atom_content']."
define('MAGPIE_DIR', 'magpie/');
define('MAGPIE_CACHE_ON', 1);
require_once(MAGPIE_DIR.'rss_fetch.inc');
$rss = fetch_rss( 'http://www.blogger.com/feeds/[My feed's id number]/posts/default' );
//display latest blog content:
//
$numberOfFullyDisplayedItems = 3;
$itemCounter = 0;
foreach ($rss->items as $item) {
$itemCounter += 1;
if ($itemCounter <= $numberOfFullyDisplayedItems) {
echo ''.$item['title']."
\n";
echo "
}
// only for the first item after the completely displayed ones:
if ($itemCounter == $numberOfFullyDisplayedItems+1) {
echo "More Items
\n";
echo "\n";
\n";
}
if ($itemCounter > $numberOfFullyDisplayedItems) {
echo '
}
}
// if there were more items: close the UL
if ($itemCounter > $numberOfFullyDisplayedItems) {
echo "
}
?>
I think CS Cart is doing something funky when trying to execute the php. Does anyone have any experience in putting php into these custom HTML blocks?
I also tried editing the .tpl file directly, but that just caused even more problems.
