Help with consuming RSS feed.
 

vBulletin newbie. I need to include another sites RSS feed (with MagpieRSS), but can't figure out how to get a php include to work. I've tried putting it in the header with and without the <?php ?>. Will an <IFRAME SRC=... work? or is there a "proper" way of doing this in vB?

TIA, Dave

If you want to have it make threads in your forum, then you need to use the RSS Feeds Manager in the Admin CP.

No, the other way around. Another site creates an RSS feed. I want to pick up that feed and present it (links to articles) on my forum pages.

Yeah, that's what the RSS Feed Manager does.

Thank you, I really appreciate your help, but...
<sigh> I am now getting "XML Error: Empty document at Line 1" when I try to preview http://www.macworldcanada.ca/newsrss.xml.

I'm sure the feed is good, because this code (on the same feed, using magpierss) works.
define('MAGPIE_DIR', 'C:\\Inetpub\wwwroot\\dave\MagpieRSS\\');
require_once(MAGPIE_DIR.'rss_fetch.inc');

$url = 'http://www.macworldcanada.ca/newsrss.xml';

$rss = fetch_rss( $url );
echo '<div style="width:160px;background-color:silver;padding:2px;border:solid black 1px">';
echo '<strong>' . $rss->channel['title'] . '</strong>';
foreach ($rss->items as $item) {
$href = $item['link'];
$title = $item['title'];
echo "<br /><a href=$href" . ' target="_blank">' . $title . "</a>";
}
echo '</div>';

When I input the feed into my RSS Feed Manager and do a preview, it is just fine. It also posted just fine on my test board. Try reuploading the rssposter.php file and any other related files to that one.
