I have a homepage.

I have a fud-forum.

I want to display the latest topic from a forum (like "news") on my homepage.

Is there an easy way to do this? My homepage is already php.

I have som problems with this funcitonally. If I start with

http://www.elodie-online.com/FUDforum2/rdf.php

I get a german error message which is translated in "XML-Input cannot be shown when using Stylesheet XSL...."

When I start with all parameters as the link in the bottom of the page "RDF Feed Configuration" I get un output in XML but that is not readable for my visitors.

When I start with:

http://www.elodie-online.com/FUDforum2/FUDforum/scripts/rdf_parser.php

I get the following error message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: file_get_contents() in /srv/www/htdocs/elodie-online/FUDforum2/FUDforum/scripts/rdf_parser.php on line 215

Finally the question what have I to do to include a working link in the homepage of my site.

1) When I tried to get RDF feed from your site I got an error from the forum indicating that the RDF is disabled. You need to able it.

2) The sample script was written with PHP 4.3.0 in mind, I'll add a work-around for older PHP installs.

The rdf_parser script has been modified with a work around for older PHPs lacking file_get_contents() function.

Thanks a lot for your changing this file.

But now I have a new problem: I found the difference file in the change log. I understand the changings I have to do principally, but I am too afraid to change the file manually. So I ask you to put the new file in the download section that I could download a working file.

You'll need to wait for the new FUDforum release or you can just download the complete file from the CVS and use that.

Thanks a lot. I exchanged the old rdf_parser.php by your new one. But I must do something wrong because it dosn't work as it should.

Withhttp://www.elodie-online.com/FUDforum2/FUDforum/scripts/rdf_parser.php I get now a blank output and with http://www.elodie-online.com/FUDforum2/rdf.php?mode=m&l=1&n=10& basic=1 I still have the xml output.

So please could you tell me what have I to do exactley.

Thanks for your patience with a dummy user

Did you modify the rdf parser script to read data from your forum?

I tryd it out but without success. What must I do?

I have seen there is a string $path_to_rdf and I filled it with the url of the forum, later with the path but nothing works.

That variable should have a URL like
http://www.elodie-online.com/FUDforum2/rdf.php?mode=m&l=1&n=10& basic=1
in it.

I changed as you did say, but I got no output, so I changed the script at the end to see if the string is set correct

Quote:

print $path_to_rdf;
$xml->parse($path_to_rdf);
?>

If I start with the content of the string I get an outpout XML, if I start the script I get just the test output.

Here the two test links:

Here is what you need to do:

remove the &basic=1 from the URL and insert the URL into the $path_to_rdf variable at the top of the script. once that is done, running that script should output relevant HTML.

(works for me here with your rdf feed.)

With me it dosn't work. If I try out http://www.elodie-online.com/FUDforum2/rdf.php?mode=m&l=1&n=10 I get un other XML-output, but the changed script does not work either. Look at http://www.elodie-online.com/FUDforum2/FUDforum/scripts/rdf_parser.php. You see that ther is no longer the part basic=1 but no output.....

I am not sure what you did, the script you are running is printing some URL instead of the data.

As I told this morning I changed the code of the script so that one can see the content of the string $path_to_rdf which I have defined at the top of this script.

TOP:

Quote:

$path_to_rdf = "http://www.elodie-online.com/FUDforum2/rdf.php?mode=m&l=1&n=10";

BOTTOM:

Quote:

print $path_to_rdf;
$xml->parse($path_to_rdf);
?>

I did it that you can control what I have done.

Well, I can tell you is that it works for me...

It could be that your webserver is rejecting local connection or something don't know... But I tried your RDF output with rdf_parser.php from CVS and it worked fine...

I send you back my changed file. Could you please review if I did what I should have done. If yes could you please compare that script file with your actual script file or could you try out this script on your server.

What means the server is rejecting local connection. If there is anything to do with the apache configuration tell me what and I will try it out.

I can only guess at what could be the problem, since the script itself is fine and so is the rdf feed itself. My only guess atm is that your server maybe rejecting connections from itself. Which is why the script running on yourdomain.com cannot fetch rdf feed from yourdomain.com.

I have several virtual hosts. I tested the script under another domain but on the same server:

http://www.kreutzonline.com/rdf_parser.php. The result is the same.

It is likely the blocking is done for all local IPs...

Try this, download the rdf page and then use the script on the downloaded xml.
