RSS Site Updates

[Panther]

This is a snippet-module. This means it installs as a module, but is not a page section, rather you call it with the php function

ShowFeed();

You can place this in your template file, or any code section.

It puts the standard RSS button that links to rss.php - this file generates an rss 2.0 compatible feed that you can add to your favorite reader.

It feeds the last 10 (public only) pages (can be modified in rss.php) to be updated on your site, newest to oldest and includes the site title with link to the page, the date/time the page was updated, and if you have given the page a custom description via the page settings, it displays that as well.

You can see it in action as part of my template at http://baker.mnpages.com/pages/sandbox/rss-site-updates.php

I've tested it with Firefox using SAGE feed reader... it does not seem to work properly as a Live Bookmark however... not sure why yet.

Great Module! Thx from Hungary.

[watermelon]

Sorry I might be being a bit thick here, but where is the zip file to download this snippet? I don't see it in the Add-ons area...?

[marathoner]

It's in the original post above.

[mysticcowboy]

I looked in the original post and all through the linked site. There is a sandbox implementation describing the module but not a download link.

[mysticcowboy]

never mind - found it

[matjooo]

is it easy to setup?

[SergeV]

If will allow, small addition in a file rss.php after

Code:

// Header info
// Required by CSS 2.0

Code:

echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" ?>";
echo "<rss version=\"2.0\">";

[imakeart]

I'm curious if it would be possible to have an image placed in the description? I'd like to use this snippet to show updates to my gallery/shop pages -->

http://amandamakepeace.com/pages/gallery/pen-ink.php


And have the output look something like this -->

Would love some guidance with this 


Thanks,
Amanda

I`ve made little modification of this module to have: Latest changed pages on website.

Here is the code of include.php.

Code:

<?php
/* RSS Site Feed
   Call this nsippet with:
        ShowFeed();
   in your template, or a code section
*/

function ShowFeed() {

This website doesn`t work for me 

[ronald32]

Hello

I installed this module on the website www.rank.nl. It works fine, in google reader every update of the website is shown... But the link from the reader to the website is incorrect... The wb directory is missing in the URL:

http://www.rankkids.nl/pages/fotoalbum/baby-bij-de-kleuters.php it must be:
http://www.rankkids.nl/wb/pages/fotoalbum/baby-bij-de-kleuters.php

How can I change that...?

I have the same problem it seems to assume your WB installation is in the root directory.  I tried editing rss.php to put WB_URL on the front of the link but then it says the tags rss and channel aren't closed.

Can someone help me fix it and can I add a pageid to WHERE clause in the SQL query so it only displays changes on my news page not the whole site ?

[freckles]

Hi

Thanks for this. It works great.

I got around the problem with Firefox Live Bookmarks - where the link doesn't work - by altering the 'rss.php' file slightly, so that it generates the full URL in the feed :

echo "<link>".PAGES_DIRECTORY.$item['link'].PAGE_EXTENSION."</link>";

altered to :

echo "<link>".WB_URL.PAGES_DIREC TORY.$item['link'].PAGE_EXTENSION."</link>";


This seems to work fine now.

Hello!

I am trying to use this with MediaBlog module. I tried, but failed.

Here's the mediablog's table structure.

Code:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `wb_mod_mediablog_items` (
  `item_id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `section_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `page_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `group_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `active` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `image` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
  `image_name` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
  `video` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
  `video_name` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
  `ext` varchar(5) NOT NULL,
  `position` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `title` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
  `tags` text NOT NULL,
  `link` text NOT NULL,
  `content_short` text NOT NULL,
  `content_long` text NOT NULL,
  `commenting` varchar(7) NOT NULL default '',
  `itemed_when` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `itemed_by` int(11) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`item_id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM  DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=10 ;

Can someone please help me customizing the rss.php file?

Thank you very much.

Hi Kdj

I've also had this problem under 2.8.1, where 2.7 worked fine, so will be watching the sites closely for any updates.

index.php is missing from the rsssiteupdates.zip

[freckles]

Hi cigaly

I've had a look in the version I used under 2.7 and this doesn't have an index.php either. I don't think this module needs one. I have tried all ways to get this module installed without success - always an 'invalid .zip' message.

Any thoughts for a fix or another way to use to the php would be great. Do you think we could install it as a Droplet? I might try that..

kind regards
