Display rss feeds (with date) from outside coppermine?

[fran86]

I hope I am in the right place to post this.

Is it possible to have rss feeds (with date) from outside coppermine? such as wordpress latest posts rss in footer or sidebar of my gallery. Hopefully without a plugin. All my searches seem to find is coppermine rss feed or coppermine feed in wordpress.

There are plugins available such as this one - http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,62764.0.html but currently RSS is not supported out of the box. You could manually code it but the plugin should do the job fine.

Thank you for your reply but that plugin isn't what I am looking for. I'd like to add my wordpress news feed to coppermine, correct me if I didn't understand the description there. :/

You could use the anycontent.php facility Coppermine has. It allows you to add your own code to your coppermine page.

http://documentation.coppermine-gallery.net/en/php-content.htm

Your code could be something like (edit line 3 to reflect your own feed. Edit line 14 to set the amount of articles to display.)

[/<?php
2. $rss = new DOMDocument();
3. $rss->load('http://wordpress.org/news/feed/');
4. $feed = array();
5. foreach ($rss->getElementsByTagName('item') as $node) {
6. $item = array ( 
7. 'title' => $node->getElementsByTagName('title')->item(0)->nodeValue,
8. 'desc' => $node->getElementsByTagName('description')->item(0)->nodeValue,
9. 'link' => $node->getElementsByTagName('link')->item(0)->nodeValue,
10. 'date' => $node->getElementsByTagName('pubDate')->item(0)->nodeValue,
11. );
12. array_push($feed, $item);
13. }
14. $limit = 5;
15. for($x=0;$x<$limit;$x++) {
16. $title = str_replace(' & ', ' &amp; ', $feed[$x]['title']);
17. $link = $feed[$x]['link'];
18. $description = $feed[$x]['desc'];
19. $date = date('l F d, Y', strtotime($feed[$x]['date']));
20. echo '<p><strong><a href="'.$link.'" title="'.$title.'">'.$title.'</a></strong><br />';
21. echo '<small><em>Posted on '.$date.'</em></small></p>';
22. echo '<p>'.$description.'</p>';
23. }
24.?>

Ah, I see. Sounds fair complicated. Using the theme based dynamic content seems to be what I am looking for except I don't understand how or why I need to add the placeholder in theme.php, how can I get it where I want? My sidebar or footer. Would it be easier for me to do iframes holder in template and call it in a new page.php?

[phill104]

You could add it to your theme wherever you want, but you would need to style it to fit.

[fran86]

Your code you suggested? I'm just trying it now but confused with how to move it... lots of negative margins?

[fran86]

Just tested it and put in under the online stats but it's just a bunch of code... it's not really where I want it though.

At first you need to remove the leading line numbers. Then, you need to add the PHP code somewhere it gets parsed.

Something like that:

[phill104]

Apologies for the line numbering. I left those in as pointers for the required edits and should have done it as comments instead.

[fran86]

No worries Phill, I probably should have noticed it myself.

Thank you for the correction Αndré. It appears that it's half way there.. there are no posts, only dates with December 31 1969. I have double checked the url of my feed and it's correct.
