[Phpwiki-talk] Showing RecentChanges as part of a regular PHP page

[James G. <pi...@gm...>]

Hello

I've got PHPWiki running on my website. It's accessable by clicking on
a link on my website's main page.

Is there a way I can grab the contents of the RecentChanges in my wiki
and show that on my main page too? Just as straight text with links,
not as a browser sidepanel or embedded in a frame? What I'm trying to
make is a little sidepanel in my website's main page that shows what's
recently changed in my wiki, in a similar way to SourceForge's "most
active" panel on their main page.

I don't mind poking around in the code and manually constructing glue
to call PHPWiki functions, but a few pointers about where to start
would be nice :-)

I'm not exactly sure what you want, but can't you just call the 
RecentChanges plugin on your HomePage directly? If you go to the 
"RecentChanges" page, and click "View source" you'll see the plugin 
invocation. Here's mine:

<?plugin RecentChanges days||=7 daylist=1,3,7,30,90, 0 ?>

Just put this text somewhere in your HomePage. Or does that put it in a 
frame or something?

Seems like a bad idea to query the database directly. You might not 
understand all the subtleties, and if the DB changes, you're screwed. 
Maybe better to write some PHP code (a plugin or extra arg to recent 
changes) within Phpwiki that returns the text you want, then include it 
somehow. Or perhaps that's the frames thing you don't like.

convert the rss feed to html.
or try the xml-rpc interface.

or as iframe of course, but this will have all the headers and footers also.

Just parse the RSS feed from de recentchanges page ... you can use my=20
RssParser.php lib (phpwiki/lib/RssParser.php) to do the task ...
It's a very simple rss lib but does the job ...
Have a look at the RssFeed plugin to see how to use it.
