[Plugins] The News Feed System

[Jimmie]

Already integrated to THT, there is a RSS Reader Class made specially to read the THT Community's news items and show it in the THT AdminCP. But you can use it also, if you create a new page in the system using this code, you will get a news feed! (Made using MyBB)

Remember to edit $url to make it to work.

PHP Code:

    require_once(LINK.'rss/rss_fetch.inc');
    $url = "http://thehostingtool.com/forum/syndication.php?fid=2&limit=3";
    $rss = fetch_rss($url);
    echo "<p>";
    foreach ($rss->items as $item) {
            $author = $item['dc:creator']; //Post Author
        $subject = $item['title']; //Topic Title
        $href = $item['link']; //Topic Link
        $pubdate = $item['pubDate']; //Topic Publication Date

        $description = substr($item['description'], 0, strrpos(substr($item['description'], 0, 250), ' ')) . '...
<a href='.$href.'  target="_blank" title="This post is cut to 250 characters. To read the rest of this post, click Read More." class="tooltip">
[Read More]</a>';
 /* Above is the post content */
        echo "<strong><a href='".$href."' target='_blank'>".$subject."</a></strong> - Posted by ".$author."<br />
        $description<br /><br />"; //tpl: rss feed
    }
    echo "</p>"; 


Explore the code by yourself, you will find out more.
