What I'm trying to do is put a couple of RSS feeds permanently in a template page so they always show up regardless of other {CONTENT} on the page, and I want to use a customizable RSS php script so I control how each looks.
I have tried using the {PHP:filename.php} tag to call the file, but it doesn't display anything.
When I add the script in [PHP][/PHP], I get this mess: http://www.firststater.com/news/. Same for when I just try to call the script using a PHP 'require'.
I know the code works, since it displays what I want when I run it solo: http://www.firststater.com/news/rss_infeeds.php
I am using v1.2.5-DEV.
Is there a way to do this?
PHP errors & RSS feeds
Re: PHP errors & RSS feeds
What does "view source" of rendered page show in that area? just the tag in braces (as if not executed)? Is your "config.inc.php" setting for this enabled?digger wrote:I have tried using the {PHP:filename.php} tag to call the file, but it doesn't display anything.
Code: Select all
$phpwcms["allow_remote_URL"] = 0; //0 = no remote URL in {PHP:...} replacement tag allowed, 1 = allowed-With the tags [PHP][/PHP], it must be the cut/paste of exact PHP code from the "rss_infeeds.php" file (minus the <?php and ?> delimeters). Same with using 'require'.digger wrote:When I add the script in [PHP][/PHP], I get this mess: http://www.firststater.com/news/. Same for when I just try to call the script using a PHP 'require'.
-Keep in mind, 'require' will cause a "fatal error" and stop execution of page rendering, if problem with calling "rss_infeeds.php" occurs, whereas 'include' will allow rendering of page to, at least, continue.
-Make sure you are using "fully-qualified" path to "rss_infeeds.php" if outside phpWCMS's file structure.
-In addition, one has to be careful where a phpwcms "tag" ( http://www.firststater.com/news/ ) is used . If it has not yet become "defined", until later in phpWCMS's execution, it will appear as just the text of the tag (as you describe).
Another tag for consideration would be {URL:}. Also, you would have to make sure the file output has <body></body> tags and then "scrape" the <a href lines for the feeds.
DeXXus, thanks for your reply.
I've tried removing the <php> braces, but that didn't work either. I've made sure the config.inc.php file allowed external URLs, but that didn't help. [It now shows the page layout, but not the RSS data]
When I use a PHP require, I get this error:
Putting the code directly in [PHP][/PHP] tags gives a similar error.
The feed works (it's here: http://www.firststater.com/news/rss_infeeds.php ).
I must be missing something really obvious.
