RSS Question

[Jarvhix]

I want to be able to use the RSS feeds from my blog to the coppermine gallery and would like for the feed to show at the top. I've tried it once and something didn't work right because it was out of place and had a really big table--no matter how I tried to size it. I don't remember what I did to get the rss last time. I've searched the forum here and only see how to use coppermine rss to integrate to wordpress but I want it the other way around. Is there instructions on how to do this? Thanks.

you'll need a php script that is capable of displaying rss feeds on a web page - I recommend magpie. Set it up, make sure it runs OK, then add the magpie code that is needed into your theme (search for "custom header") or use coppermine's anycontent. However, a first step is to have magpie or similar running. If you should need more support, post more details like a link to your blog, your gallery and a link to your feed.

Will try it out! Thanks!!



(Just went to the site and tried to download and after downloaded I tried to open with "winzip" and I get error. There's nothing in the file to even open. Is there something similar to "Magpie" that you can recommend? Is there not a way to use "Wordpress" for this? Thanks.)

there's mod for Wordpress around that will embed coppermine - if this is what you're looking for.

I currently have a "wordpress" blog and I just wanted to be able to list news to the site using the rss from the blog. I wanted the news to display at the top somewhere under the menu at the gallery.
