VbIndex: Integrating RSS Feed

[Macindy]

Hi there!
I have a problem with integrating an RSS feed to my VbIndex Homepage. I included the phpcode in the phpinclude_start and added the variable to one VbIndex Custombox. But nothing happens...

Has somebody an idea?

Here is the code I used:

PHP Code:

// Example of how to include a seperate file:
// ob_start();
// require("yourheader.html");
// $header = ob_get_contents();
// ob_end_clean();

ob_start();

function rssnews() 
{ 
require_once('/xxx/includes/magpierss/rss_fetch.inc')

function IncNews($url) { 
    $i = 0; 
    $rss = fetch_rss($url); 
    echo "<ul>"; 
    echo "<li>", $rss->channel['title'], "</li>"; 
    foreach ($rss->items as $item) { 
     $title = $item[title];
          $title = htmlentities("$title", ENT_QUOTES);
        $link = $item[link]; 
        if($i < 7) { 
            echo "<li><a href=\"$link\" title=\"$title\">$title</a></li>\n";
            $i++; 
        } 
    } 
    echo "</ul>"; 
} 

IncNews('http://www.heise.de/newsticker/heise.rdf'); 
IncNews('http://www.versiontracker.com/macosx/recent.rss'); 
IncNews('http://maccentral.macworld.com/news/mnnfeed.xml');
$rssnews = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean(); 


and I included $rssnews in custombox template of VbIndex

Are there no specific errors? Be sure that you have chmodded the directories right where it creates the files (.xml).

no there aren' t any errors...
The header of VbIndex also includes the phpinclude_start
Perhaps it is not so a good idea to include the script in every page. I also can add it to the source of index.php (the VbIndex PHP file) - but I don't know how i have to do that.
If u want I can post the index.php - or you get it from www.coreforums.net/
Thanks a lot
