Everywhere i read about Magpie it reads that the instructions for installing MagpieRSS are clear and simple. I'm new at this and they are not to clear to me. QUICK START Magpie consists of 4 files (rss_fetch.inc, rss_parser.inc, rss_cache.inc, and rss_utils.inc), and the directory extlib (which contains a modified version of the Snoopy HTTP client) Copy these 5 resources to a directory named 'magpierss' in the same directory as your PHP script. At the top of your script add the following line: What script? Wouldn't have been easier to name this thing? require_once('magpierss/rss_fetch.inc'); Now you can use the fetch_rss() method: $rss = fetch_rss($url); When I find this script do i add the url for my RSS here? Done. That's it. See README for more details on using MagpieRSS. It's not done. The easy part would have been to add what script to modify and if it is the one I'm thinking of it alreadt has that line in it... And also, Once I find and edit all of this. does this thing update on it's own? You know i'm still looking for the easy part. It may be really easy after it's all done however right now it's only made for PHP people
I believe that you place the "require_once" at the top of the file that you want the feed to appear on. index.php for example and then you place the $rss = fetch_rss($url); where you want the feed to appear on your page. ($url) calls the url See this thread for more info http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=100944 However I use CARP to aggregate feeds on my sites. Hope this helps... Dennis....
