Super! Thank you so much, dreamstormer.

I’ve downloaded the updated version and will try it out as soon as time allows.

Thanks again

Bit,
Okay, since I don’t see this anywhere else in the thread, I’m a bit curious where it comes from, but enabling the plugin creates a text “4” just below my body tag?
I tried replacing the plugin with the source, but no luck? Any thoughts?

Thanks man.

Uh oh. I left a debugging dmp() in the code. Sorry about that. Just look for it in the source and remove the line that says dmp($limit);. It’s on line 38 in the source.

I’ve taken care of fixing the code in the uploaded plugin package.

And Matthew: I’d just like to mention that you have a nice site there on your “testbed”. :-)

My feeds don’t seem to be displaying in the proper order. In fact, there’s no real order. They’re completely random compared to the actual RSS feed itself. I decided to pull the feed in through feedburner just to see if it would be any different and it’s not. Ideas?

bit · 2006-07-24 18:53:49

You’re trying to read from a TxP feed, right?
Would you mind giving me the feed address just to test?

msteinruck · 2006-07-24 18:57:18

Sure, no problem:

Here’s the feed: <a href=“http://www.performancephilanthropy.com/rss/?category=RSS-Feeds&section=blog&limit=999”>http://www.performancephilanthropy.com/rss/?category=RSS-Feeds&section=blog&limit=999</a>

Here’s the page calling it: <a href=“http://dev.genevaglobal.com/blog”>dev.genevaglobal.com/blog</a>

bit,
thanks man. I’ve been working hard at thinking of new ways to clean the site up and apply the things I’ve been learning.
Also, thanks for the fix.

:)

msteinruck: As of now, I still don’t have a solution. It seems like even Simplepie itself doesn’t output the correct order (check it here).

I really suggest just going with Atom feeds instead while we look for solution with RSS 0.92 feeds.

bit · 2006-08-24 18:49:48

Updated! v0.3 is now uploaded.

What’s new? The ability to read from multiple feeds and output all of the feed items as one article “list”. You simply use a comma-delimited list of feed URLs in the feed attribute, and it should work just like before.

Warning: I highly suggest that you test this version first before committing to it. Since the flow of taking the feeds and parsing through all of the items has changed in a major way, I can’t be 100% sure that it works. I’m 90% sure that it’s good, but there might be some cases that I couldn’t think of testing. Please help me out and test this and report any new unusual behavior. :-)

Version 0.3 is here.
Just in case, you can still get v0.2.3 here.

bit, have you seen this post on the SimplePie blog?

I’m working some problems out with them and I’ve been testing the latest code in SVN, lost of new things to play with.

bit · 2006-08-25 06:15:48

Oh man. This would’ve been so helpful. I used up a lot of time making my quick-sort implementation…

I missed this while checking for new things on the Simplepie site. I’ll check it out later when I have the time. Thanks.

edit:
OK… I see what they did here… it’s almost kinda cheating. Hahaha.

Bit,

This is a great plugin. I’ve been wanting to display multiple feeds on my site for a long time now, and your plugin makes it quite simple.

In your latest version, you added the capability for displaying multiple feed items as one article “list.” I was toying around with it, and I did not see a way to be able to display the feed title or feed URL. I think this is important in an article list because otherwise it just displays the author name, but it makes it appear as though all of the feeds are from my site. Is there a way to get around this? I would assume you’d have to modify the plugin to do so. I’m not a super programming expert so I couldn’t figure it out, although I know you can do it with SimplePie. I am running the multiple feed code they provided on the blog link above. I am also running yours on the same page just to see the differences. Both have issues when there is no date assigned to the feed. Yours seems to not display “older” content at all if “newer” content is available and a limit is placed on it – meaning that those feeds without a date tag are given the default of Jan 1, 1970 or something like that. The multifeeds from the SimplePie blog does just the opposite – it displays all of the 1970s items first.

This is a problem for me, because I’d like to include my site’s feed in along with the other site feeds. Eventually, I would love to be able to spit the multi feed “article list” as a feed that people could subscribe to – a one stop collection of feeds. I know that many people feel this is cheating to get traffic to the site. As long as you don’t take credit for the work yourself, I don’t see the problem with it. People have a site feed for a reason – to put their content out there. Many news sites are doing the same thing – putting out AP articles on their sites in RSS or Atom feeds. Any thoughts on setting something up with your plugin to do this?

By the way, for those sites that have dates associated with the feeds, your plugin is working great.

Can I get a customed erorr message at the tag’s place rather than on the top of the page.

Slaktad · 2006-09-05 07:35:55

This is a great plugin, thanks a lot bit!

The offset attribute does not seem to work properly though. :|

maverick · 2006-09-05 14:27:26

Slaktad

What problem are you having?

In the previous version the plugin showed the numerical values I entered for the offset and limit as part of the displayed page. (The numbers were the first to load, and displayed vertically up in the upper left-hand corner.)

I think the latest version solved that bug. As part of a minor logo update and reorganization, I now have my logo in that area of the page. So its possible I am missing it, but I no longer see the numbers load first. So I think it may have been fixed.
