Hi, I'm trying your method within a TextPattern istallation - therefore between ~ and getting the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /users/home/davidhall/web/public/textpattern/publish/taghandlers.php(2745) : eval()'d code on line 2

Test page is: http://david-hall.info/trial

Probably something I'm doing wrong, but any ideas?

Thanks, David

I'm not too familiar with PHP, just messed around with some real basic stuff. I added your code to my page, but am getting an error - call to undefined function. Is there some other code that needs to be added?

It would be awsome if it worked.

If you're having trouble getting this to work with your not-twitter RSS feed, adjust the line foreach ( $xmlObjTwitter -> item as $item )

I had to change it to foreach ( $xmlObjTwitter->channel->item as $item )

Thanks you Jon! That worked great.

Very helpful, thanks!

Hi Matt, Thanks for the snippet...works great except you should update the twitter rss structure to: foreach ( $xmlObjTwitter -> status as $item ). Best, Nick

I was able to utilize this code, thank-you very much. I need to be able to make the feed I'm using span multiple pages-- do you know how that could be accomplished?

My feed url has a limit parameter (&limit=), which I want to set to a high number; leaving it blank defaults to 10.

I found a pagination class... my code currently looks like this:

if (!isset($_GET['page']) || !isnum($_GET['page'])) { $_GET['page'] = 1; }
        foreach ( $xmlObj ->results->result as $item )
{

$data_ref = $item->date;

if ( $tempCounter < 20 ) {
        echo "<a href="{$item -> url}" target="_blank">{$item -> jobtitle}</a><br />";
        if ($item->company)
        {echo "{$item -> company}";}
        if ($item->company && $item->city)
        {echo " - ";}
        if ($item->city)
        {echo "{$item -> city}<br />";}
        echo dateTimeDiff($data_ref)." From {$item -> source} <br />";
        echo "{$item -> snippet}<br /><br />";

    $tempCounter += 1;
}
}

class display {
function pagination($rows, $per_page, $current_page, $page_link) {
global $core,$C;

// Create a Page Listing
$this->pages = ceil($rows / $per_page);

// If there's only one page, return now and don't bother
if($this->pages == 1) {
return;
}

// Pagination Prefix
$output = "Pages: ";

// Should we show the FIRST PAGE link?
if($current_page > 2) {
$output .= "<a href="". $page_link ."?page=1" title="First Page"><<</a>";
}

// Should we show the PREVIOUS PAGE link?
if($current_page > 1) {
$previous_page = $current_page - 1;
$output .= " <a href="". $page_link ."?page=". $previous_page ."" title="Previous Page"><</a>";
}

// Current Page Number
$output .= "<strong>[ ". $current_page ." ]</strong>";

// Should we show the NEXT PAGE link?
if($current_page < $this->pages) {
$next_page = $current_page + 1;
$output .= "<a href="". $page_link ."?page=". $next_page ."" title="Next Page">></a>";
}

// Should we show the LAST PAGE link?
if($current_page < $this->pages - 1) {
$output .= " <a href="". $page_link ."?page=". $this->pages ."" title="Last Page">>></a>";
}
return $output;
}
}

$display = new display;
$rows='60';
if ($tempCounter >= 20){
echo $display->pagination($rows, "20", $_GET['page'], "jobs.php");
}

The page numbers are showing up right, but the same 20 listings show on every page. If I remove

if ( $tempCounter < 20 )

then it shows all listings on one page.

Any advice?

Thanks for the tutorial, got it working with an rss feed from the BBC website

I found this and it was very helpful although I had to change the foreach loop to:

foreach ( $xmlObjTwitter->channel->item as $item )

and then all was good.

Cheers

Thanks - worked nicely, and a great resource on a site with a hosting service that does not allow "fopen(URL)".

Just a quick note: The list is not valid XHTML. You need to wrap the li's in ul tags. You can do so by changing:

foreach ( $xmlObjTwitter->channel->item as $item )
{ 
    # DISPLAY ONLY 10 ITEMS.
    if ( $tempCounter < 11 )
    {
        echo "<li><a href="{$item -> guid}">{$item -> title}</a></li>";
    }

$tempCounter += 1;
}

to:

echo "<ul>";
foreach ( $xmlObjTwitter->channel->item as $item )
{
    # DISPLAY ONLY 10 ITEMS.
    if ( $tempCounter < 11 )
    {
        echo "<li><a href="{$item -> guid}">{$item -> title}</a></li>";
    }
$tempCounter += 1;

}
echo "</ul>";

Wow, thanks for this and the rounded corners in photoshop tutorial. You rock!
