rss feed / twitter feed

Freeway

Good morning to all.

I have been reading the forums about using Walters readfeed action for a twitter feed. and I am getting this error on the page:

Warning: fopen() [function.fopen]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in/home/grassroo/public_html/gina/Resources/Feed.phpon line 31

Warning: fopen(http://twitter.com/#!/grassrootsweb) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in/home/grassroo/public_html/gina/Resources/Feed.phpon line 31
could not open XML input

How do I correct this. I read the directions made the page PHP, added the _cache folder, checked read and write for the permissions did not change the template at all - just put in the exact url that I am getting when I hit profile on twitter.

I am using cyberduck as my FTP

I appreciate all of your help.

Your hosting provider is restricting you from using a feature of PHP called fopen wrappers. Without this, I would need to rewrite the Feed.php class considerably, and add lots of extra code to handle opening a file from the network, which fopen wrappers do for me automatically and elegantly.

You’re either going to need to find another script, or another host.

Yup, it’s a runtime configuration that he or his support-droids could turn on for you. I doubt that it’s configurable at the virtual host level, though – he would have to enable it for everyone that shares your server with you. Leaving it off is a security or server load decision someone made.

and where else may I find another script (just in case)

Have a hunt through HotScripts or just google ‘rss to html php’ or some variation on that.

Walter,

I am now getting another code it looks like James came through.:

~~
cache_time = 0; $rss->max_items = 0; $rss->item_template = ‘%s
%s’; $rss->item_parts = ‘link, title, description’; $rss->cache_dir = dirname(FILE) . ‘/_cache’; $rss->Read($url); ?>%s’; $rss->item_parts = ‘link, title, description’; $rss->cache_dir = dirname(FILE) . ‘/_cache’; $rss->Read($url); ?>

~~

Umm, now what do I do?

Thank you!

This unfortunately means that PHP isn’t running on your server.

Make a phpinfo page. Paste the following line into a plain text document, and name it [something cryptic].php, like asdfsadfs.php.

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Upload that to your server, somewhere in the Web space, and then visit it with a browser. You should see a nice table layout with all the gritty details about your PHP server. If, instead, all you see is <?php phpinfo(); ?>, then you have a broken server.

In order to have the server run the code, you have to name the file that you post to your server something.php. You can’t have the .html extension on the page or it (usually) won’t work at all.

Thank you!

Yup, it’s a runtime configuration that he or his support-droids could turn on for you. I doubt that it’s configurable at the virtual host level, though – he would have to enable it for everyone that shares your server with you. Leaving it off is a security or server load decision someone made.

and where else may I find another script (just in case)

Have a hunt through HotScripts or just google ‘rss to html php’ or some variation on that.

Thank you

?Like a textedit document?? Then import into a html box? ?-

Yes like a TextEdit doc but don’t import into your FW page - instead it should be uploaded to your server via an FTP app.

You could also use a FW action like Upload Stuff to get it onto the server. But make sure that it is Plain Text - this can be set in TextEdit’s preferences.

In order to have the server run the code, you have to name the file that you post to your server something.php. You can’t have the .html extension on the page or it (usually) won’t work at all.

<?php phpinfo(); ?>  ??This Should this look like it does to the left or:   ?php...  or:   <?php...   ???

Thank you.

Upload that to your server, somewhere in the Web space, and then visit it with a browser. You should see a nice table layout with all the gritty details about your PHP server. If, instead, all you see is <?php phpinfo(); ?>, then you have a broken server.

Thanks Delta Dave.

Sorry about all the ? marks - at the time I just wanted the question to stand out from all the other test but seeing it here it might as well have been caps or something.
