And here is a plugin which reads punBB feeds

do you still need people on the design front? i could help out with that!

bit_rss works quite well for pulling feeds from other sites, I’ll be using it soon to pull the articles I write for TXPmag into artiswork.org

Hope it helps,

Matthew

Love this idea, Bert. TextBook has two feeds that would probably be appropriate when the time comes.

If you need to specifically discuss TxB feeds for whatever reason…here be the place.

colak, ma_smith – thanks for the links, I’ll look them over.

Destry – I’m slowly gathering all the feeds together, thanks for the heads up on TextBook.

sthmtc – I may have a design hitting my mailbox soon, I’ll contact you if I need your help, thanks.

You might look at using RSS Fetch ( download zip ). I’ve got a Txp install I use as my browser’s home page, and use RSS fetch to bring in several feeds, as individual chunks. It’s fairly easy and configurable.

I tried this script and most every Textpattern site gives me: No item elements found in rss feed.

The only site that works is Textpattern Resources, maybe Alicson did something different there?

Lemme know when you’re up and running, and I’ll make sure there are links to it from the forum, main site, etc.

hcgtv · 2006-08-11 19:11:08

Mary, I’m going down the line and testing different scripts and plugins at the moment.

I’ll let you know when it’s done, thanks.

Was that the Atom feed or RSS? I don’t think it does Atom.

This is what I’ve come up with so far:

The bit_rss plugin (0.2.3) appears to be the best option, at least when it comes to Textpattern sites.

This is the RSS form that I’m using on my local test site:
<code>
<txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink>
<br />
<txp:posted /> by <txp:bit_author />
</code>

I’m displaying the last 5 entires from each of the RSS feeds, not all of them are displaying the same info.

Site Description / feed link – Title – Posted – Author – Notes

Developer Weblog – yes – yes – yes – looks good
SVN Timeline – yes – yes – no – the trac feed doesn’t have an author
Textpattern Support Forum – yes – no – no – rss.php does feed the right date and an author could be added

FAQ [Frequent questions and problems] – yes – yes – yes – looks good
TextBook [New pages] – yes – yes – yes – the files are rather large
TextBook [Recent changes] – yes – yes – yes – the files are rather large

Textpattern Resources [Plugins, etc] – yes – no – no – alicson?
TextGarden [Packaged designs] – yes – no – no – stuart?
TXP Magazine – yes – no – no – alex?

I have 9 feeds, planning on one page with a 3×3 grid. The above order is fine?

I’ve already crashed my local Apache a couple of times while refreshing the feeds, maximum execution time exceeded. I think it may be choking on the TextBook files, they are each 122KB in size.

I’ve got it set to refresh every 30 minutes, planning on putting the last time refreshed on the page or maybe when the next refresh should occur, keep the F5’s at bay.

Will keep at, the plumbing is in place, now the walls ;)

I’ll look into it, Bert. Maybe Hakjoon can give me another set of eyes too. Do you think this has anything to do with having too many returns in the feeds? Say if we reduced output from it’s default of like 25 or whatever it is to just 10? Or is this something with the feed file itself?

EDIT 1: Actually, looking at the feed files I realize my questions are probably one of the same thing. Maybe if we reduce the output number and the extent of the content (like to just an excerpt of a page, rather than a whole page) that would help. I’m not sure how to do that, exactly, but I’ll investigate.

EDIT 2: Mozilla Developer Center (which uses MediaWiki) has a couple of RSS extensions that might prove useful.

EDIT 3: Upon closer investigation, it may be something here that proves helpful. OK, nuff talk, tinker time.

Destry, I don’t know what can be done but they are pretty big. How about different feeds just for the planet site and keep you current feeds alone?

Help, I had a test site going fine on my laptop. I uploaded the site to my VPS and it can’t find any of the feeds that are hosted on Textdrive. I thought the plugin went fubar on the VPS and installed Simplepie’s own Textpattern plugin and I got the same issues.

The plugins do work after more tests, cause I can read feeds off the Textpattern sites on my own VPS and I can read Simplepie’s own weblog feed.

Is Textdrive blocking IP ranges, servers from certain states, etc.

Edit: Tried Destry’s site feed (wion.com) and I can’t get to it, it’s hosted on Textdrive :(

Edit 2: I think it’s something to do with the User Agent string in Simplepie.
