There's several steps you need to follow to begin using Smarty templates within XOOPS. A quick
word of warning. I did not install and/or try this code so there may be a bug, so use this at your
own risk - but the general idea is right...
First, change your code to something like this:
include '../../mainfile.php';
$xoopsOption['template_main'] = 'yahoo_feeds.html';
include XOOPS_ROOT_PATH . '/header.php';
require_once('class/simplepie/autoloader.php');
// We'll process this feed with all of the default options.
$feed = new SimplePie();
// Set which feed to process.
$feed->set_feed_url('http://news.yahoo.com/rss');
// Set the maximum number of items
$items_per_feed = 15;
// Run SimplePie.
$feed->init();
// This makes sure that the content is sent to the browser as text/html and the UTF-8 character set (since we didn't change it).
$feed->handle_content_type();
$c=0;
$feeditems = array();
foreach ($feed->get_items() as $item) {
$feed = $item->get_feed();
if($c < $items_per_feed)
{
$feeditems[] = array('permalink' => $item->get_permalink(),
'title' => $item->get_title(),
'date' => $item->get_date(),
'desc' => $item->get_description()
);
} else {
// break out of feed loop if reached maximum number of feeds
break;
}
$c++;
}
$xoopsTpl->assign('feed', $feeditems);
include_once XOOPS_ROOT_PATH . '/footer.php';
Then in /
{modulename}/xoops_version.php you need to add:
// Templates
$modversion['templates'][] = array('file' => 'yahoo_feeds.html',
'description' => "Display Yahoo Feeds Template");
And finally you need to create the template file (./
{modulename}/templates/yahoo_feeds.html)
<{foreach item=feed from=$feeds}>
<hr />
<a href="<{$feed.permalink}>" target="_blank"><{$feed.title}>a><br />
<b><{$feed.date}>b><br />
<p><{$feed.desc}>p>
<{/foreach}>
Then copy this to your module directory and make sure you update the module using the Admin control panel.
