News Page. Feeds to non-txtpattern page

Textpattern totally rocks my world, but I can’t figure out something I’m certain must be possible.

I seek to have a few articles on my site’s main page (that isn’t the main page of textpattern.)

How can I effectively make a “news” page or “feed” a few articles to a different part of my website?

Thanks!

you can use simplepie or similar software to fetch feeds on your page.

Re: News Page. Feeds to non-txtpattern page

Another way might be using the method that was discussed in this thread about including a textpattern form in an external php page.

1. In the non-textpattern page, which I assume is a php page, use a require statement to include the news or list of articles or whatever you want. Something like

<?php
require($DOCUMENT_ROOT . "http://yoursite.com/news/");
?>

2. Create a new section in textpattern called “news” (for example) that will only output the articles that you want shown in the non-textpattern page. Because this new section is in textpattern, this section can use any txp tag so you can output a list of most recent articles, the articles themselves or sticky or static articles or pages or whatever.

Regards,
