[RESOLVED] PHP RSS parser, wont display anything
this is for my site:
http://staticfx.com/forums/bb3portal.php
on the left side, it says Gametab.. but there should be links appearing below it
in my bb3portal.php file I have this:
PHP Code:
include($phpbb_root_path . 'bb3portal/block/rss_gametab.'.$phpEx);
the rss_gametab.php has this:
PHP Code:
<?php
/*
*
* @name rss_gametab.php
* @package phpBB3 Portal a.k.a canverPortal
* @version $Id: rss_gametab.html,v 1.0 2007/04/01 20:35:47 staticFX Exp $

exit;

$file = 'http://www.gametab.com/services/rss/topnews-past6hrs.php';
$rss_channel = array();
$currently_writing = "";
$main = "";
$item_counter = 0;
function startElement($parser, $name, $attrs) {
global $rss_channel, $currently_writing, $main;
switch($name) {

$data=curl_string($file);
xml_parse($xml_parser,$data);
xml_parser_free($xml_parser);
// putting in array
$news=array();
if (isset($rss_channel["ITEMS"]))
{
if (count($rss_channel["ITEMS"]) > 0)
for($i = 0;$i < count($rss_channel["ITEMS"]);$i++) $news[]=$rss_channel["ITEMS"][$i];
}
$c=0;
foreach($news as $key=>$val)
{
while($c<$nr_news)
{
$template->assign_block_vars('gametab', array(
'RCD' => "<a href=" . $val['LINK'] . ">" . $val['TITLE'] . "</a>")

function curl_string ($url,$user_agent='Mozilla 4.0'){
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);

curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 120);
$result = curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $result;
}
?>
then in my rss_gametab.html i have this:
Code:
<!-- $Id: rss_gametab.html,v 1.0 2007/04/01 20:35:47 staticFX Exp $ //-->
<html>
<table class="tablebg" cellspacing="1" width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="cat"><h4>Gametab News<h4>
</td>
</tr>
<!-- BEGIN rss_gametab -->
<tr>
<td class="row1">{gametab.RCD}</td>
</tr>
<!-- END rss_gametab -->
</table>
<br/>
</html>
and in the portal_main.html i am including it
Code:
<!--// [+] rss gametab //-->
<!-- INCLUDE bb3portal/block/rss_gametab.html -->
<!--// [-] rss gametab //-->
i set it up like all the other "parts" of the portal... but it just wont display?
any ideas???
Re: PHP RSS parser, wont display anything
It looks as though the script offers two possible methods of downloading the feed data. Try the other one.
Uncomment:
PHP Code:
/*
if (!($fp = fopen($file, "r"))) {
die("could not open XML input");
}
/*
while ($data = fread($fp, 4096)) {
if (!xml_parse($xml_parser, $data, feof($fp))) {
die(sprintf("XML error: %s at line %d",
xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($xml_parser)),
xml_get_current_line_number($xml_parser)));
}
}
*/
Comment:
PHP Code:
$data=curl_string($file);
xml_parse($xml_parser,$data);
xml_parser_free($xml_parser);
And see how that goes.
Re: PHP RSS parser, wont display anything
nope... i think its in this:
PHP Code:
foreach($news as $key=>$val)
{
if($c<$nr_news)
{
$template->assign_block_vars('oneup', array(
'LINK' => $val['LINK'],
'TITLE' => $val['TITLE'])
);
}
$c++;
}
Re: PHP RSS parser, wont display anything
see: here it is raw.. it works
http://staticfx.com/forums/bb3portal...rss_parser.php
but when I try to dump them to a variable like everything else is done.. nothing comes out! :(
Re: PHP RSS parser, wont display anything
got it.. finally
changed to a different rss feed, then tweaked a few things
