michael:
reload from the marketplace
ACP -> MODULES -> CORE -> MARKETPLACE -> TOOLS -> RELOAD MODULES OR SKINS -> RSS FEED READER -> RELOAD

and you'll find the 'media' array attached to the item.

You da man! Thanks I appreciate it. Also, thanks for dealing with my crazy mind seeing things! LOL! Could have swore that image was in item.

Looks like the 2.0 spec for media items in the item is media.

You're right. I missed that. There is no image in the item. I really need to stop doing 3 things at once.

I could have swore that I've seen image per item. But as you pointed out, and I missed, there is no image in item.

Arrr.

Thanks for adding the image in the channel. That will work well for me as the feed image.

You're correct, in the particular RSS feed I gave you the image is part of the channel. That was my mistake, I should've given you an example where the image was part of the item.

You can see here the full spec. It would be great to have all the options.

http://www.rssboard.org/rss-draft-1

I could add more options if I knew how to get into the second level via the code (described above) or another option.

I haven't taken a look at your modification yet, but if you didn't modify it for the image inside the item, then I still need to figure that out.

Edit: if you guys are doing an RSS reader, might as well add all the options. There aren't that many and it makes the reader more robust.

Well with the image you turn a boring text feed into a faux news article(s).

When I'm done with the project I'll send you the link.

Thanks again for adding that to the module.

Nice. Having that image makes the feed reader really powerful for adding content to a site. ;)

No. I just need to get into one layer deeper in the RSS feed.

How it is now, which works great and I can add other options like category.

Quote:
channel -> title
channel -> description
channel -> pubdate

What I need is the ability to go one level deeper because that is where the image is.

Quote:
channel -> image -> url

In the code snippet in the OP I couldn't figure out a way to go one level deeper inside a foreach with
Quote: $_x['item'] [$i] ['image'] ['url']
returns an ARRAY.

Example Feed:

Yea, this is in the includes.php file I believe, not open in front of me. I was trying to do something fast to see if it could be done. I needed the image for a template and then ran into the RSS - array thingy.

Is there a better way to do this with a listener?

Quote: foreach ($xml->channel->item as $item) {
if ($i == $params['limit'] ) {
break;
}
$_x['item'] [$i] ['title'] = (string) $item->title;
$_x['item'] [$i] ['link'] = (string) $item->link;
$_x['item'] [$i] ['pubDate'] = strtotime((string) $item->pubDate);
$_x['item'] [$i] ['description'] = (string) $item->description;
$_x['item'] [$i] ['category'] = (string) $item->category;
$i++;
}

How do you add an additional level so that the channel > image > url can be grabbed inside the channel section?

The way the feeder is now, it's only one level deep (inside the channel only).

Random Thoughts

10. Would it be possible to get another button in Marketplace > System Update > Update and Rebase Button. What happens is I end up downloading to PHP Storm and get every version if I forget to rebase. Having a rebase button appear when the developers module is installed would be awesome.

11. Some more options for installing from the Marketplace module. Right now I have to install every module individually and that ends up being 3 pages click throughs for each module.

How about #12 below (so I can get all the modules on 1 page) then a select checkbox do I can check the modules I want to install. I then hit the install button to install all the modules I selected.

12. How about an option in the marketplace settings to determine how many modules are listed per page?
