I can’t get this working with adi_gps no matter where i put it in the load order. Am trying to assign a category for my slideshow through get variable.

  1. Make sure that the GET variable is assigned into the slideshow script (and into the rah_external_output’s url).
  2. Make sure that adi_gps is loaded before rah_external_output kills (load order is higher).
  3. Make sure that adi_gps doesn’t use $pretext or etc. TXP’s global arrays. We are not on section page, so those aren’t set. Plugins are loaded before TXP’s $pretext global.

Re: rah_external_output

This is an awesome plugin. One warning: External output doesn’t work if your site’s production status is set to “Debugging”. I just spent 45 minutes trying to chase down a non-existent js bug or plugin collision with the site in “Debugging”— when I switched it to “Testing” or “Live” it worked perfectly again (this occurred in Textpattern 4.0.8).

If you use the plugin, you might get some “errors” specially in the Debugging mode. This is caused by the fact that the plugin outputs the content in a non section/any context. All plugins/code/tags that hook or do something that requires section or something similiar, might cause problems.

What is the error message?

Re: rah_external_output

Hi,
I’d like to use this plugin to display the dynamic navigation bar I use in my textpattern pages on external (static) php pages elsewhere in the same domain. So I’ve copied the form code and made an external snippet, which then looks OK through URL given via the ‘view’ link in the plugin.

My question is, how do I then pull that code into my php file, I tried…

<?php include($DOCUMENT_ROOT . "http://my-txp-site.tld/?rah_external_output=nav-form"); ?>

…as suggested previously in this thread but it did seem not work. and also…

<?php include("http://my-txp-site.tld/?rah_external_output=template1"); ?>

…still no joy? Can you give me some help as I’m completely stuck!

Thanks,
Dan

Re: rah_external_output

Hi lovetheg,

Can you post the code included in your rah_external_output=template1?

Re: rah_external_output

Sure, this is one of them…

<txp:article_custom section="blog" limit="3" form="blog_latest">
<div class="entry">
<p class="date"><txp:posted format="%d/%m/%y" /></p>
<p class="time"><txp:posted format="%H:%M" /></p>
<p class="text"><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></p>
</div>
</txp:article_custom>

Regards,
Dan

Re: rah_external_output

and the form blog_latest? … which might not be needed.

maybe you should try:

<txp:article_custom section="blog" limit="3">
<div class="entry">
<p class="date"><txp:posted format="%d/%m/%y" /></p>
<p class="time"><txp:posted format="%H:%M" /></p>
<p class="text"><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></p>
</div>
</txp:article_custom>

Re: rah_external_output

Sorry, mistake in above code, should be…

<txp:article_custom section="blog" limit="3">
<div class="entry">
<p class="date"><txp:posted format="%d/%m/%y" /></p>
<p class="time"><txp:posted format="%H:%M" /></p>
<p class="text"><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></p>
</div>
</txp:article_custom>

And from the external file I try to call it unsuccessfully with…

<?php include($DOCUMENT_ROOT . "http://www.mysite.com/?rah_external_output=body-latest"); ?>

Or…

<?php include 'http://www.mysite.com/?rah_external_output=blog-latest'; ?>

Or…

<?php include '/var/www/vhosts/mysite.com/httpdocs/?rah_external_output=blog-latest'; ?>

None of which worked.

On the server that you use the include, you need to have url_fopen set to true and outgoing connections have to be allowed. Also server must allow PHP to access the site from outside.

<?php

If the place where you are including the script is within TXP, you might want to use <txp:php> instead PHP closing tags.

include

Because included file isn’t a PHP code within the file system, it’s better to use file function instead include which is used to evaluate code.

$DOCUMENT_ROOT […] /var/www/vhosts/mysite.com/httpdocs/

Includes from file system won’t transfer GET nor POST vars. If you want to access the file from file system, you have to use a script that defines variables required by TXP.

[…]

<txp:php>
	echo file_get_contents(
		'http://www.mysite.com/?rah_external_output=blog-latest'
	);
</txp:php>

Re: rah_external_output

Thanks Jukka,

1. In my server php.ini, this is set: ‘allow_url_fopen = On’
2. The script is not within TXP, it is a separate file on the same domain.
3. This finally got it working…

<?php echo file_get_contents('http://www.mysite.com/?rah_external_output=blog-latest'); ?>

That’s awesome – this opens up some crazy useful uses for TXP.
