RSS feed

[Doodlebuckets]

I just downloaded a program to give me headlines from an RSS feed. The code is php and I'm not sure where to add it to my site pages. I don't even know what it will look like once I add it. The code is this:

<?php
require_once '/home/doodlebu/www/www/carp/carp.php';
// Add any desired configuration settings before CarpCacheShow
// using "CarpConf" and other functions

CarpCacheShow('http://feeds.feedburner.com/MidwiferyTodayOnline');
?>

If it were html, I would just add it to a side box or to my main page. Any suggestions for what to do with this code, where to put it (ie a header file or the index.php file), keeping in mind that I want it to look good.

Thanks!

You might try adding it to the Blank Sidebox Contrib.

Bottom left hand box... bbc rss feed using carp..
Carp must be installed on same domain as your zencart install, will release/provide
details if enough interest..

misty, if you look at http://www.doodlebuckets.com main page, I got it to work and my husband thinks it looks nice like it is, without being in a sidebox. I've decided to go with that. I added the carp stuff to the tpl_banner_box file and I'm trying to do the same with the tpl_banner_box2 file, but the sidebox top and bottom show up under the headlines. Do you know how I can get rid of those? I did the same exact thing as with the headlines on the left side, but the side box top and bottom are doing different things. What do you think?

Thanks!

What exact code did you enter in banner boxes?

[Doodlebuckets]

require_once '/home/doodlebu/www/www/carp/carp.php';
// Add any desired configuration settings before CarpCacheShow
// using "CarpConf" and other functions

CarpCacheShow('http://feeds.feedburner.com/MidwiferyTodayOnline');




That's what I put in. I put in in between the $content = '';

and

$content .= '</div>';

in the tpl_banner_box.php and tpl_banner_box2.php files


Your site looks nice. How did you do it?

Thanks! Amy

Found this fix for myself and thought I would share! Now that's more like it :)

Pleased to hear you have found a way around your problem, because
cannot offer explanation myself as to why coding in your new zencart box
fails to work correctly.
