access txp database and functions from outside directory

mintyfresh · 2006-11-21 01:30:23

I’m building a website for a client that will utilize TXP for the “News” portion of the site. Due to what would amount to nested sections in TXP (which isn’t possible), I am not using TXP for the entire site. However, I would like to access the TXP database and functions on the homepage for a sidebar containing the most recent articles.

How can I accompish this?

This is just off the top of my head (might have missed something). Assuming that your Txp install was in a directory named “news”:

<?php

	require_once('news/textpattern/config.php');

	if (@ini_get('register_globals'))
	{
		foreach ($_REQUEST as $name => $value)
		{
			unset($$name);
		}
	}

	define('txpath', $txpcfg['txpath']);
	define('txpinterface', 'public');

	require_once(txpath.'/lib/constants.php');
	require_once(txpath.'/lib/txplib_db.php');
	require_once(txpath.'/lib/txplib_misc.php');
	require_once(txpath.'/lib/txplib_html.php');
	require_once(txpath.'/publish/taghandlers.php');

	$prefs = get_prefs();

	$atts = array(
		'sort'		 => 'Posted desc',
		'limit'		 => 10,

		'no_widow' => $prefs['title_no_widow'],

		'label'		 => 'Recent Articles',
		'labeltag' => '',

		'break'		 => br,
		'wraptag'	 => '',
		'class'		 => 'recent_articles',
	);

	echo recent_articles($atts);

?>

Mary,
A very interesting example. I tested it but I got this terrific error :

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at C:\xampplite\htdocs\txp\test.php:33) in C:\xampplite\htdocs\txp\textpattern\lib\txplib_db.php on line 468

Could you tell me what append and how to correct this error?
Cheers,

Tks ruud! You provide good advices as always!
… A (very) stupid question. Shame on me :o
How to enable output buffering?

Please see the PHP manual.

Mary · 2006-12-30 06:16:29

No, that’s the problem with doing it off the top of your head. I’ve corrected the code above.

Tks for your answers Zem & Mary.

I m going to try your changes…and if that s works : your are the best Mary!!! :)

Regards.

Pat64 · 2006-12-30 08:10:32

Fine!

You are Genius! :)

— Edit :

In this example only recent_articles match.
How is it possible to manipulate TXP’s variables?
Cheers.

Can you elaborate on what you’re trying to achieve? I don’t understand what you’re asking.
