I’m hoping someone who understands RSS feeds can help me sort through a problem. I’ve struggled with the solution and gotten close, but with some things I’m just a “swing until I hit something” kind of guy, and my arms have grown tired trying to figure out what to do with this.
What I’m trying to do is pull the titles and entries from the Scrine Wiki into the Scrine Unabridged page. I have a plugin for Scrine’s software, ExpressionEngine, that should do the trick, and I’ve been able to make it work with Scrine itself when I tested it, but I haven’t been able to make it work with the Wiki feed.
What I’m really needing to know is which tags in the source code to use for the article url link and the article body. The title I seem to have found. Here is what the body of the plugin template looks like:
{exp:feedgrab url="http://www.scrine.com/wiki/Special:Recentchanges_RSS"
weblog="49"
title="title"
date="date"
use="articlelink|articlebody"
fields="scrinefeed-link|scrinefeed-description"}
What is supposed to happen is the following:
1. When this template is called, the title, link, and body of the rss source are automatically entered into custom fields I’ve set up for a separate weblog.
2. Once the information is in custom fields in a weblog, I am able to integrate the information into Scrine wherever and however I please.
So, I’m hoping someone can look at the source code of the wiki rss page
http://www.scrine.com/wiki/Special:Recentchanges_RSS
and tell me what to use in the above code where it says “use=articlelink|articlebody” because that doesn’t seem to grab anything.
Just so you know, the plugin works and it is grabbing the wiki titles. I don’t think it’s getting dates correctly, either, but I hadn’t quite gotten that far.
