I wanted to pass a variable to modify the current RSS Event Example so I can call custom RSS Event feeds for different bands on my system by their ID.

Here's the mod i did of the original rss event code.

rss_event.php

Code

<?php //---------------------------------------- // Jamroom RSS Feed Creator Wrapper module //---------------------------------------- require('include/jamroom-include.inc.php'); // These header calls are required to get the browser to see this as an RSS Feed header('Expires: '. gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s', time()) .' GMT'); header('Last-Modified: '. gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s') .' GMT'); header('Content-Type: application/xml; charset=utf-8'); // The $base_url variable holds the URL to the ranking system $base_url = $jamroom['jm_htm'] .'/ranking.php?mode=event&show=10&band_id='. $_GET['band_id']; // now we define which templates we will use for each part $head_tpl = 'rss_event_header.tpl'; $row_tpl  = 'rss_event_row.tpl'; $foot_tpl = 'rss_common_footer.tpl'; // Now run jrCallUrl to actually run the ranking system call echo jrCallUrl($base_url .'&header_template='. $head_tpl .'&row_template='. $row_tpl .'&footer_template='. $foot_tpl); ?>

rss_event_row.rpl

Code

<item>   <title>{$EVENT_WDAY_SHORT} {$EVENT_MONTH}/{$EVENT_DAY}/{$EVENT_YEAR} - {$EVENT_LOCATION}</title>   <link>{$ARTIST_URL}</link>   <description>{$EVENT_TITLE|jr_strip_html} - {$EVENT_DESCRIPTION|jr_strip_html}</description> </item>

rss_event_header.tpl

Code

<?xml version="1.0"?> <rss version="2.0"> <channel> <title>{$system_name} - Upcoming Gigs</title> <description>A list of the next upcoming Gigs</description> <language>en-us</language> <link>{$JAMROOM_URL}</link> <lastBuildDate>{$smarty.now|jr_date_format:"%a, %d %b %Y %T %Z"}</lastBuildDate> <generator>Jamroom {$version}</generator>

Call it with:

http://yoursite.com/rss_event.php?band_id=xxx

Also include the footer file with the original example code. Mod to suit. Enjoy!
