Geeklog Forums

I've been trying the code that's been posted here for turning story headlines into a static page centerblock. Unfortunately, none of the code I found in the forums seems to work with 1.4.1, and I don't know enough PHP to tear down the code and make it 1.4.1-compatible.

So I went looking and found a javascript app that uses Ajax and SimplePie to allow you to parse your own RSS and display it as headlines in a centerblock (that was the only way I could figure out how to do it, and luckily the php included with the app allows you to configure the javascript to only display headlines).

Anyway, the app is at http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex18/rssdisplaybox/index.htm. Maybe someone brighter than I am can grab it and turn it into a real GL plugin.

I know it's a quick and dirty fix, but necessity is the mother of invention.

Thanks to everyone who tried to help with the older code. I appreciate it.

I missed your description, so I might be wrong, but what you are trying to do doesn't seem too difficult.

This is what I use in a static page:

There shouldn't be any problems connecting it to your own feed.
The file lib-rss.php is something I found somewhere and placed in the systems directory. It is made by Euan on this site (geeklog.net)

Hmm. I missed that one, apparently.

Does it work with 1.4.1? If so, I'll make the change. Thanks!

it works with 141, because lib-rss is not a part of geeklog. you just have to place it there yourself.

remember to place the php tags correctly in the static page...i always mess that up :shock:

Euan has lib-rss on his own site: http://www.heatherengineering.com/filemgmt/
