How To Add An RSS Feed To My Search.php file? - php

Question

I'm running a social network and right now my search.php shows results for people, and tags. How can I add an RSS Feed? I own a blog and I wanted to add my RSS Feed to the search so whenever someone searches for a topic it will show up on the search page.
Here's the search.php code:
$feed = new feed();
$feed->db = $db;
$feed->url = $CONF['url'];
if(isset($_SESSION['username']) && isset($_SESSION['password']) || isset($_COOKIE['username']) && isset($_COOKIE['password'])) {
$verify = $loggedIn->verify();
if($verify['username']) {
$feed->user = $verify;
$feed->username = $verify['username'];
$feed->id = $verify['idu'];
if(isset($_GET['tag'])) {
$skin = new skin('shared/top'); $top = '';
$TMPL['theme_url'] = $CONF['theme_url'];
$TMPL['private_message'] = $verify['privacy'];
$TMPL['avatar'] = $verify['image'];
$TMPL['url'] = $CONF['url'];
$top = $skin->make();
}
}
}
$feed->per_page = $settings['perpage'];
$feed->time = $settings['time'];
$feed->censor = $settings['censor'];
$feed->smiles = $settings['smiles'];
$feed->c_per_page = $settings['cperpage'];
$feed->c_start = 0;
$feed->l_per_post = $settings['lperpost'];
$TMPL_old = $TMPL; $TMPL = array();
$skin = new skin('shared/rows'); $rows = '';
if(empty($_GET['filter'])) {
$_GET['filter'] = '';
}
// Allowed types
if(isset($_GET['tag'])) {
// If the $_GET keyword is empty [hashtag]
if($_GET['tag'] == '') {
header("Location: ".$CONF['url']."/index.php?a=welcome");
}
$hashtags = $feed->getHashtags(0, $settings['qperpage'], $_GET['tag'], null);
$TMPL['messages'] = $hashtags[0];
} else {
// If the $_GET keyword is empty [user]
if($_GET['q'] == '') {
header("Location: ".$CONF['url']."/index.php?a=welcome");
}
$TMPL['messages'] = $feed->getSearch(0, $settings['qperpage'], $_GET['q'], $_GET['filter']);
}
$rows = $skin->make();
$skin = new skin('search/sidebar'); $sidebar = '';
if(isset($_GET['tag'])) {
$TMPL['trending'] = $feed->sidebarTrending($_GET['tag'], 10);
} else {
$TMPL['genre'] = $feed->sidebarGender($_GET['filter'], $_GET['q']);
}
$TMPL['ad'] = generateAd($settings['ad6']);
$sidebar = $skin->make();
$TMPL = $TMPL_old; unset($TMPL_old);
$TMPL['top'] = $top;
$TMPL['rows'] = $rows;
$TMPL['sidebar'] = $sidebar;
if(isset($_GET['logout']) == 1) {
$loggedIn->logOut();
header("Location: ".$CONF['url']."/index.php?a=welcome");
}
$TMPL['url'] = $CONF['url'];
if(isset($_GET['tag'])) {
$TMPL['title'] = '#'.$_GET['tag'].' - '.$settings['title'];
} else {
$TMPL['title'] = $LNG['title_search'].' - '.$_GET['q'].' - '.$settings['title'];
}
$skin = new skin('shared/timeline_x');
return $skin->make();
Please help :)

Answer 1

Try this example
<?php
$articles = $pages->find('blog')->children()->visible()->flip()->limit(10);
snippet('feed', array(
'link' => url('blog'),
'items' => $articles,
'descriptionField' => 'text',
'descriptionLength' => 300
));
?>
link:
This is the main link in our feed, which takes the visitor back to our site. In this case we want them to get back to our blog, so we build an url to our blog with the url() helper function.
items:
As items for our feed, we pass the set of $articles we found in the first line. The feed snippet will automatically take care of getting the right info out of those $articles (like title, url, etc.)
descriptionField:
If you want to show a description for each item in your feed, you need to specify a field, which is available in any item and should be used for the description.
descriptionLength:
This is maximum number of characters the description will have. An excerpt is automatically generated by the feed snippet.
