The bid is found on the url when you are editing the block. It's not something you can name.

Sam

and where I look for the URL of block, single I see when publishing the name of block customized. for example:

This portal staticpage presents a problem - it just takes information from the current real portal block - with an emphasis on "current". So although it allows you to hide the real block and yet bypass its permissions and get its feed to the staticpage, if you want to keep the feed updated, it means one thing:
you must have the same feed both in a staticpage and in the left/right block around it - and who would want to do that?

If it isn't hidden, the way I see it there are 2 solutions: make a staticpage that implements its own version of COM_rdfImport or...

Steps to make a staticpage portal for BOTH hidden and none hidden portal blocks:

1. Build yourself a real portal block.
   
   
2. If you want the actual portal block to be hidden (so the feed would only show up in the staticpage), do the following:
   
   1. Disable the portal block (this makes it hidden).
      
   2. You might as well leave its topic on "All" since I shall totally ignore it anyway (staticpages [when used as centerblocks] have their own topic setting).
      
   
   
3. Write the following in your PHP enabled staticpage:
   
   PHP Formatted Code

   // http://lior.weissbrod.com presents...
   // A staticpage frontend for portal blocks
   // Version 0.1
   
   // Needed paramters - start
   // Enter Your Portal Block's ID
   // (configurable in the block editor)
   $bid = 'test';
   // Needed paramters - end
   
   // If it's disabled/hidden, do its job for it
   if (DB_getItem( $_TABLES['blocks'], 'is_enabled',
                                           "bid = '$bid'")) {
   // Gather parameters for the portal block
       $sql = "SELECT type, content, rdfur, date, rdflimit
   WHERE bid = '$bid'";
       $result = DB_query( $sql );
       $A = DB_fetchArray( $result );
       $A['bid'] = $bid;
   
   // Since COM_formatBlock completely ignores its $noboxes
   // (set to true below) paramter and takes it directly
   // from $_USER['noboxes']...
       $userboxes_backup = $_USER['noboxes'];
       $_USER['noboxes'] = true;
   
   // Update the hidden block if needed
       COM_formatBlock($A, true);
   
   // Again, because the above true was ignored
       $_USER['noboxes'] = $userboxes_backup;
   } else
       $A['bid'] = $bid;
   
   // Finally, paste the feed
               $A['content'] = DB_getItem( $_TABLES['blocks'], 'content',
                                           "bid = '{$A['bid']}'");
   echo $A['content'];
    
   
   

I haven't tested it yet - can anybody try and report back?

I was able to take what you have LWC and make it work, how ever the one SQL statement was wrong:



I corrected it to this:



Also, it should be noted that the field bid is going to be a numeric value, so $bid = 'test' should be $bid = 123 for example. Thanks, I couldn't do the RSS feed without you!

Also, if you want to format it, to keep a consistent look with the rest of your geek log blocks, do this before you go into the RSS code :



Or of course, come with a completely different template to use for the news feed!!! Love this geeklog! Now if I could only post engough so that my title on these forums wasn't "chatty"!

Alright, I've fixed all the problems that tmarquez raised with my portal staticpage, and even allowed format options.
Also, now you just need to know the block's name and not its bid.
