Hi I am trying to include external feeds on my index.php page by using the Parser Include Tag:

I am using my default weblog template called “weblog” and i am using the XML feed URL. Specifically, I am trying to use a MoreOver Feed and Display last 10 entries.

I have done the above - and now my include tag looks like:

However, my page shows blank?! Is this because PMPro can only display RSS .091 feeds? Or am I doing something wrong or forgot something?

Thanks.

The built-in XML parser is very basic, I’m afraid.  If you want to be able to display other feed types (RSS 2.0, Atom, etc.) then I’d suggest trying something like the Magpie Parser script, which you ought to be able to use within your pMachine .php pages.

Speaking of Magpie! (-;

I was looking for some help and couldn’t find it on Magpie’s site or elsewhere so perhaps somone from this forum would have a fix?!

I too am using Magpie to display a feed on my PMPro Site and it works fine with Magpie. But, I am trying to include another feed on the SAME page and it isn’t displaying.

My current Magpie code (that works) looks like:

<?php
include(’./mag/magpierss/rss_fetch.inc’);// Set error reporting for this
error_reporting(E_ERROR);// Fetch RSS feed
$rss = fetch_rss(‘http://blog.searchenginewatch.com/blog/blog.xml’);
if ($rss)
{
// Split the array to show first 10
$items = array_slice($rss->items, 0, 10);
// Cycle through each item and echo
foreach ($items as $item )
{  echo ‘<a href=”’.$item[‘link’].’”>’.$item[‘title’].’</a> - ‘.$item[‘author’].’<br />’;
echo “<b>Publish Date: ” . $item[pubdate] . “</b><br>\n”;
      echo $item[ description ] . “</p>” ;

}}else {  echo ‘<h2>Error:</h2><p>’.magpie_error().’</p>’;}// Restore original error reporting value@ini_restore(‘error_reporting’);?>

But if I copy/paste the same code for my 2nd Feed I get an error and it doesn’t display.

I was wondering if there was something simple like in the area where it says:

Couldn’t one put two(2) urls there? Anyone using Magpie to display 2 feeds? If so..can you share your code?

Thanks.

I think you simply need to leave off the first two lines when you use the code the second time:

Those only need to appear on your page once in order for Magpie to work.  Trying to include it twice could cause errors (though since you never say what error you get I don’t know if it’s from that).
