RSS Feed for PmxBlog
« on: 26.02.12, 20:43:40 »
Hi,

Since there was currently no RSS support for PmxBlog (that I am aware of) and we needed it for our site (we post RSS data to our twitter/facebook accounts) I made one. I am a developer, but not a PHP developer so I know the code is not yet robust, but it seems to get the job done. I want to contribute it to the community in the hopes that others may find it useful and contribute to it and make it better. Currently a lot of items are hard coded, but you can easily change them by updating the variables. Also I had to make a small change to PmxBlogSSI.php so that the PmxBlogSSI_Recent function also returned the article id. Updated PmxBlogSSI.php + blogrss.php are included in the attachment.

Code: [Select]
