I write RSS feed for GetSimple.

Somebody need it? Tongue

***ccagle8*** · 2009-10-24, 10:56:34

I don't have any use for it right now, but I would live to see it...

Alexey · 2009-10-24, 23:08:39

You can see it here http://www.manage-projects.ru

This is buildrss.php. I placed it in theme/yourthemename/plugins

Code:
<?php

//  Begin Function

function createRSSFile($post_title,$post_description,$post_link,$guid)

{

    $returnITEM = "<item>\n";

    $returnITEM .= "<guid>".$guid."</guid>\n";

    # this will return the Title of the Article.

    $returnITEM .= "<title>".$post_title."</title>\n";

    # this will return the Description of the Article.

    $returnITEM .= "<description>".$post_description."</description>\n";

    # this will return the URL to the post.

    $returnITEM .= "<link>".$post_link."</link>\n";

    $returnITEM .= "</item>\n";

    return $returnITEM;

}

// rss_categories - category to rss

// items number

// lenght of descrip)

function buildrssfile($rss_categories,$itemsnumber,$descl)

{

    if (empty($rss_categories)) { $rss_categories    ='news'; }

    if (empty($descl)) { $descl    =256; }

    if (empty($itemsnumber)) { $itemsnumber    =5; }

    $TITLE_OF_YOUR_RSS_FEED = "ÃÂ£ÃÂ¿Ã‘Â€ÃÂ°ÃÂ²ÃÂ»ÃÂµÃÂ½ÃÂ¸ÃÂµ ÃÂ¿Ã‘Â€ÃÂ¾ÃÂµÃÂºÃ‘Â‚ÃÂ°ÃÂ¼ÃÂ¸";

    $path     = tsl('data/pages/');

    $counter = '0';

    $table = '';

    //display all pages

    $filenames = getFiles($path);

    $count="0";

    $pagesArray = array();

    if (count($filenames) != 0) { 

        foreach ($filenames as $file) {

            if (isFile($file, $path, 'xml')) {

                $data = getXML($path .$file);

                if ($data->parent == $rss_categories) {

                    $status = $data->menuStatus;

                    //$pagesArray[$count]['title'] = $data->title;

                    $pagesArray[$count]['title'] = html_entity_decode($data->title, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');

                    $pagesArray[$count]['parent'] = $data->parent;

                    $pagesArray[$count]['menuStatus'] = $data->menuStatus;

                    $pagesArray[$count]['private'] = $data->private;

                    $pagesArray[$count]['content'] = htmlspecialchars($data->content, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');

                    //$pagesArray[$count]['content'] = $data->content;

                    if ($data->parent != '') { 

                        $parentdata = getXML($path . $data->parent .'.xml');

                        $parentTitle = $parentdata->title;

                        $pagesArray[$count]['sort'] = $parentTitle .' '. $data->title;

                    } else {

                        $pagesArray[$count]['sort'] = $data->title;

                    }

                    $pagesArray[$count]['url'] = $data->url;

                    $pagesArray[$count]['date'] = $data->pubDate;

                    $parentTitle = '';

                    $count++;

                }

            }

        }

    }

// Lets build the page

$filename = "feeds/index.xml";

$rootURL = "http://www.manage-projects.ru/feeds/";

$webroot = "http://www.manage-projects.ru/";

$latestBuild = date("r");

// Lets define the the type of doc we're creating.

$createXML = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n";

$createXML .= "<rss version=\"0.92\">\n";

$createXML .= "<channel>

    <title>".$TITLE_OF_YOUR_RSS_FEED."</title>

    <link>".$rootURL."</link>

    <description>".$DESCRIPTION_OF_YOUR_FEED."</description>

    <lastBuildDate>".$latestBuild."</lastBuildDate>

    <docs></docs>

    <language>ru</language>

";

// Lets get the results

$ff=0;

while ($pagesArray[$ff]<>'') {

    $item = $pagesArray[$ff];

    if (empty($item['parent'])) {

        $page = $webroot.$item['url'];    

    } else {

        $page = $webroot.$item['parent']."/".$item['url'];

    }

    $pieces = explode(" ", $item['content']);

    $feedcontent = '';

    $rr=0;

    while (strlen($feedcontent)<$descl) {

        $feedcontent .= $pieces[$rr]." ";

        $rr++;

    }

    $description = $feedcontent;

    $title = $item['title'];

    $guid = $item['date'];

    $createXML .= createRSSFile($title,$description,$page,$guid);

    $ff++;

}

$createXML .= "</channel>\n </rss>";

// Finish it up

$filehandle = fopen($filename,"w") or die("Can't open the file");

fwrite($filehandle,$createXML);

fclose($filehandle);

echo "XML Sitemap updated!";

}

?>

I include it in function.php in theme.

Code:
<?php

require_once('plugins/buildrss.php');

?>

Than in template.php i put next code

Code:
$generatRSS = $_GET['rss'];

if ($generatRSS==1) {

    buildrssfile('news',5,256);    

}

where first parametr - name of parent page for news for example.
second - quantity of items add in rss (it is not work yet Big Grin

)
third - qty of symbols in description.

I make cron task to generate rss file.

will this work in getsimple 2.0?

the only file name "function.php" is in admin/inc/function.php and it is

"# discontinued as of version 2.0"

Do I now place buildrss.php admin/plugins/ or make a new plugins directory in theme/Default_Simple

Hi

I have not try it on 2.0 yet.

madguy Wrote:Do I now place buildrss.php admin/plugins/ or make a new plugins directory in theme/Default_Simple

I donÃ¢Â€Â™t know whether it will still work with version 2.0, but unless you rewrite the code to be an actual plugin you donÃ¢Â€Â™t want it in /admin/plugins/.

You should just follow the original installation instructions:

Create a new folder in your theme called Ã¢Â€Â˜pluginsÃ¢Â€Â™.
Create buildrss.php in this folder with the script as found here.
Create functions.php in your theme folder and put this in it:

Code:
<?php

   require_once('plugins/buildrss.php');

?>

Edit your themeÃ¢Â€Â™s template.php to generate the RSS:

Code:
$generatRSS = $_GET['rss'];

if ($generatRSS==1) {

    buildrssfile('news',5,256);    

}

All of this could be found in this topic, but I thought IÃ¢Â€Â™d list it here for you.

madguy · 2010-02-19, 02:53:13

thnx ZegnÃƒÂ¥t I will try later today and report back.

madguy · 2010-02-19, 10:01:18

I cant seemto get this to work

1) create a folder name "feeds" at GetSimple root
2) creat a blank "index.xml" in "feeds"
3) set the above two to 777

4) made a new page "news" in admin panel with some text "blah blah blah"

5) add

Code:
$generatRSS = $_GET['rss'];

if ($generatRSS==1) {

    buildrssfile('news',5,256);    

}

in default theme "template.php" right after comments before html

Code:
<?php

/****************************************************

*

* @File:             template.php

* @Package:        GetSimple

* @Action:        Default theme for the GetSimple CMS

*

*****************************************************/

$generatRSS = $_GET['rss'];

if ($generatRSS==1) {

    buildrssfile('news',5,256);

}

?>

6) create a folder "plugins" in theme and place "buildrss.php" there

7) Create functions.php in your theme folder and put this in it

Code:
<?php

   require_once('plugins/buildrss.php');

?>

GRRRRR

Alexey · 2010-02-24, 04:09:04

This script collect in RSS only childs of 'news' page.
You need to create some.

and than you type in browser www.yoursite.com?rss=1

I make it because i generate my feed with cron.

Hopes · 2010-04-09, 05:08:36

If you can't run a cron job, how do you manually generate feeds?

I followed the same steps as madguy, and I have child pages under News, but I am not seeing any generated feeds.

webget · 2010-06-03, 09:03:11

it does not really make it work as the plugins to generate rss

if someone could explain or send larger files because I have tried and do not know how to operate it.

Not that some of my template paste this code:

$ GeneratRSS = $ _GET ['rss'];

if ($ generatRSS == 1) (
buildrssfile ('news', 5.256);
)

ZegnÃƒÂ¥t · 2010-06-03, 16:51:13

webget Wrote:

5.256 would be wrong, it has to be a comma:

Code:
buildrssfile('news', 5, 256);

That might be why itÃ¢Â€Â™s not working correctly.

Carlos · 2010-06-03, 17:42:51

Apart from what ZegnÃƒÂ¥t points, there are some other errors: there shouldn't be a blank space between $ and the variable name. Also check that uppercase G letter in GeneratRSS -- it should be lower case.

Yes, I also think same as her. it has to use comma.

allimitedition · (This post was last modified: 2011-05-19, 23:05:08 by chrisdel62.)

this is the good process for good run :

create a new directory /{root}/feeds
place blank "index.xml" in this dir /feeds
set 777 acces to this file "index.xml"

create a new directory /{root}/theme/{your_theme}/plugins
copy buildrss.php to in this dir /plugins

include this code behind, in the file "function.php" from your theme manager

Code:
<?php

require_once('plugins/buildrss.php');

?>

Than in a new template.php (you have to put a new file in directory /{root}/theme/{your_theme}/)
put this next code

Code:
<?php

$generatRSS = $_GET['rss'];

if ($generatRSS==1) {

    buildrssfile('news',5,256);    

}

?>

enter "http://www.{yoursite}.com/index.php?rss=1&id=rss" in your browser
then you should have this message "RSS FEED updated!"
at end, create a link to "feeds/index.xml"
that's it

after you have to change this codes in the file "buildrss.php" in line

Code:
25    $TITLE_OF_YOUR_RSS_FEED = "{your title}";

26    $DESCRIPTION_OF_YOUR_FEED = "{your description}";

...

128  $rootURL = "{YOUR_DOMAIN}/feeds/";

129  $webroot = "{YOUR_DOMAIN}";

mvlcek · 2011-05-20, 06:39:41

This topic has prompted me to finally implement the creation of RSS feeds in my I18N Search plugin:

you can generate RSS feeds based on any search term (tags or words), see here for a description and this example
currently the feeds are generated on request. If you experience performance problems I might implement caching - new generation on request, if the last generation is older than x minutes, otherwise the cached feed is used

soawesomejohn · 2011-12-01, 08:13:56

@mvicek

Excellent. I've already been using your i8ln plugins to create a news style page and I wanted to make an rss feed of the same. I am able to make the links, but I find I can't really put them (or anything else) on the same page I use to display the searchresults. So I can't put a link to the RSS feed on the home page.

I ultimately want to put it in the sidebar. Is there a public php function I can access to generate that link?

soawesomejohn · 2011-12-01, 08:23:25

Actually, after posting that I thought about it some more and came up with a working solution.

I changed my test rss page to a page simply called "rss" so it shows up on my site as /rss/. I then visited that page and viewed the source. At that point, it was a simple matter of copying the a record and img tag into my sidebar.

For anyone trying this, it would look something like this:

Quote:<a href="http://www.bcars.org/rss/?logbook"><img src="http://www.bcars.org/plugins/i18n_search/images/rss.gif" alt="rss"/>Logbook RSS</a>

soawesomejohn · 2011-12-01, 08:28:55

One final thought... Google Chrome doesn't display it as an RSS feed, but rather as the raw xml.

I think it's because of how headers or mime-types are sent, but I'm not sure how to fix that. I tried the old trick of adding &filename=rss.xml to the end of the url, but no luck there.

Firefox has no issue showing it as a live bookmark.

***n00dles101*** · 2011-12-01, 08:35:18

put this at the start of you rss.php file before you output anything.

Code:
header('Content-type: application/rss+xml');

You might also need to add atom to validate your feed proper;y...

Code:
header('Content-type: application/rss+xml');

echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>';

echo '<rss version="2.0" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">';

echo '<channel>';

echo '<atom:link href="http://www.yoursite.com/rss" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" />';

this is mine for my site...

The only part missing was the atom ns and link, http://feed1.w3.org/check.cgi now validates it as fully valid, but still Chrome only shows the XML. Does Chrome handle RSS feeds?
