In general, from a basic check i did the xml structure should be as follows:

Code:

<item>
   <title> </title>
   <link> </link>
</item>

In that case, i would make code similar to this:

PHP Code:

  $url = "http://www.site.org/external.php?forumids=73,74&type-rss";

$fp_url = fopen("$url",'r'); 

$xml_raw_data = fread($fp_url,20480); // Read up to 20k of xml data

fclose($fp_url)

 
$xml_root = simplexml_load_string($xml_raw_data);

 
// Now loop all "items" childs nodes

foreach ($xml_root->item as $item_node){ 

    echo "<img class=\"inlineimg\" style=\"vertical-align: middle\" src=\"http://www.site.org/skin/buttons/lastpost.gif\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" /> <a href=\"".$item_node->link."\">".$item_node->title."</a>"; 

}

Notes:
1. In the code above i've using remote fetching using fopen().
2. the simplexml_load_string() functions takes xml string & convert to xml object we can later "travel" on xml tree.

I havent tested the above code - but it should work & do the job for you.
This should output the html you need for your mailer.

In general you have 2 options:
option a] open this php into new window, then copy the html & paste into the mailer inside admincp.
option b] make some code that generate the admincp mailer page ready to submit.

Hope this helps you

Thank you Idan. Using that code on a .php file like this:

Code:

<div class="smallfont">

<?php

$url = "http://www.vb-italy.org/external.php?forumids=73,74&type-rss";
$fp_url = fopen("$url",'r'); 
$xml_raw_data = fread($fp_url,20480); // Read up to 20k of xml data
fclose($fp_url)

$xml_root = simplexml_load_string($xml_raw_data);

// Now loop all "items" childs nodes
foreach ($xml_root->item as $item_node){ 
    echo "<img class=\"inlineimg\" style=\"vertical-align: middle\" src=\"http://www.vb-italy.org/skin/buttons/lastpost.gif\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" /> <a href=\"".$item_node->link."\">".$item_node->title."</a>"; 
}  
?>

</div>

I get a blank page.
Adding a semicolon:

Code:

<div class="smallfont">

<?php

$url = "http://www.vb-italy.org/external.php?forumids=73,74&type-rss";
$fp_url = fopen("$url",'r'); 
$xml_raw_data = fread($fp_url,20480); // Read up to 20k of xml data
fclose($fp_url);

$xml_root = simplexml_load_string($xml_raw_data);

// Now loop all "items" childs nodes
foreach ($xml_root->item as $item_node){ 
    echo "<img class=\"inlineimg\" style=\"vertical-align: middle\" src=\"http://www.vb-italy.org/skin/buttons/lastpost.gif\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" /> <a href=\"".$item_node->link."\">".$item_node->title."</a>"; 
}  
?>

</div>

I get the page working but the cointainer is blank. There is no link showed.

have you enabled the "rss feeder" on the admincp ?

Norman · 07-09-2009, 07:20 PM

I had error in the php script i gave u, the correct script is:

PHP Code:

  $url = "http://www.site.org/external.php?forumids=73,74&type=rss";

$fp_url = fopen("$url",'r'); 

$xml_raw_data = fread($fp_url,20480); // Read up to 20k of xml data

fclose($fp_url)

 
$xml_root = simplexml_load_string($xml_raw_data);

 
// Now loop all "items" childs nodes

foreach ($xml_root->channel->item as $item_node){ 

    echo "<img class=\"inlineimg\" style=\"vertical-align: middle\" src=\"http://www.site.org/skin/buttons/lastpost.gif\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" /> <a href=\"".$item_node->link."\">".$item_node->title."</a><br />"; 

}

Awaiting your update on matter.
