MemberHow do you $feed->get_items as $item in separate divs for separate blogs? Like if I have two columns set up for two different blogs how do I specify which items to get from which blog? From what I’ve read it has something to do with get_feed but I’m extremely new to PHP so I’m faceplanting bigtime on getting this to work.

MemberNevermind. I resolved the problem, didn’t realize I could treat the $feed variable as any other variable and just use two separate feeds $feed1 $feed2…
:D Woot!

MemberHi
I’m looking to achieve the same i.e. 2 separate feeds in different DIVs
Here’s my code which isn’t working, can someone point me in the correct direction?
<?php
//get the simplepie library
require_once(‘inc/simplepie.inc’);//grab the feed
$feed = new SimplePie();
$feed2 = new SimplePie();$feed->set_feed_url(array(
‘http://www.theyworkforyou.com/search/rss/?s=margo+macdonald’,
$feed2->set_feed_url(array(
‘http://feeds.feedburner.com/CssTricks?format=xml’,
));//enable caching
$feed->enable_cache(true);
$feed2->enable_cache(true);//provide the caching folder
$feed->set_cache_location(‘cache’);
$feed2->set_cache_location(‘cache’);//set the amount of seconds you want to cache the feed
$feed->set_cache_duration(1800);
$feed2->set_cache_duration(1800);//init the process
$feed->init();
$feed2->init();//let simplepie handle the content type (atom, RSS…)
$feed->handle_content_type();
$feed2->handle_content_type();$start = 0;
$length = 3;?>
And then the code for each DIV:
<?php
/*
Here, we’ll loop through all of the items in the feed, and $item represents the current item in the loop.
*/
foreach ($feed->get_items($start,$length) as $item):
?><h2><a href="<?php echo $item->get_permalink(); ?>"><?php echo $item->get_title(); ?></a></h2>
<p><?php echo $item->get_description(); ?></p>
<p><small>Posted on <?php echo $item->get_date(‘j F Y | g:i a’); ?></small></p><?php endforeach; ?>
<?php
/*
Here, we’ll loop through all of the items in the feed, and $item represents the current item in the loop.
*/
foreach ($feed2->get_items($start,$length) as $item):
?><h2><a href="<?php echo $item->get_permalink(); ?>"><?php echo $item->get_title(); ?></a></h2>
<p><?php echo $item->get_description(); ?></p>
<p><small>Posted on <?php echo $item->get_date(‘j F Y | g:i a’); ?></small></p><?php endforeach; ?>

MemberIt would be helpful if you could say why something isn’t working – syntax error, output is not what was expected, or something.
That said, the following looks odd:Code://grab the feed
$feed = new SimplePie();
$feed2 = new SimplePie();$feed->set_feed_url(array(
‘http://www.theyworkforyou.com/search/rss/?s=margo+macdonald’,
$feed2->set_feed_url(array(
‘http://feeds.feedburner.com/CssTricks?format=xml’,
));To initialise two feeds you simply need to:
Code://grab the feed
$feed = new SimplePie(‘http://www.theyworkforyou.com/search/rss/?s=margo+macdonald’);
$feed2 = new SimplePie(‘http://feeds.feedburner.com/CssTricks?format=xml’);October 16, 2009 at 3:46 pm #65599keithybhoy
Membersorry, I should have included an error message – doh!
saying that, your code example has fixed my issue – many thanks!
