I have a wordpress site and it genertes a RSS output.
What I want to do is report all [say 5] entries on the blog to a html or php page. I want to maintain the existing site style.
Any thoughts or scripts out there that I can be pointed at.
Ta muchley.
this is for a php page...
put this in your header, before any html:
<?php
define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
require('/home/USERNAME/public_html/PATHTOWORDPRESS/wp-blog-header.php'); //wordpress header location
query_posts('showposts=6'); //how many posts to display on page
?>
then...this code where you want the latest posts to appear on your page:
<?php while (have_posts()): the_post(); ?>
<h4>Latest Blog Post on <?php the_time('jS F') ?></h4>
<p><ahref="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="Read full post">
<?php the_title(); ?></p>
<?php /* the_excerpt(__('More...')); */ /*display extract of latest post(s)*/
the_content(); /*display complete latest post(s)*/ ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
uncomment the the_excert part to dislay a post summary or use (as is) with the_content to display full posts
also add a space between ahref to give a href above stw keeps parsing it and making a link.
hope that helps
Thanks Ciarán
I will try that out later.
Well I created a page with your script.
Well I created a page with your script. Just what I looking for

How do I stop the code from making the post content be a link ?
Another question. I decided to use the script on another site.... however
My "wp-blog-header.php" is in another directory than the index.php
I keep getting this error 
I think it's something to do with the filepath and no understanding of PHP
Warning: require(./wp/wp-blog-header.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/nas03l/z/examplesite.com/user/htdocs/subdirectory1/index.php on line 4
Thoughts anyone

Hi
Problem number one - the whole post being made into a hyerlink:
Is happening because there should be a < / a > going in here:
<?php the_title(); ?>< / a ></p>
remove the spaces in it, STW parses is as html code when i hit Send Post if i dont add them, hence it disappeared in the original post...
That makes just the title of the post into a link.
Problem number two - the failed to open stream warning:
Yeah its is because the filepath in this line is wrong
require('/home/USERNAME/public_html/PATHTOWORDPRESS/wp-blog-header.php');
it has to point to the location of the wp-blog-header.php file relative to your webserver root, so the full fath to it.

Longshot... can the code be tweaked in any way to show posts from just one category ?
Yes...
fairly simple, you just edit this line in your php header before any html:
query_posts('showposts=6'); //how many posts to display on page
to query the categories also. you can query the categories via the category id or the name, query mutliple categories, and query post NOT in a specific category as follows:
category_name=black 2 colour //returns posts in category called "black 2 colour "
cat=1 //returns posts in category ID 1
cat=-1 //returns any post NOT in category ID 1
cat=2,6,17 //returns all posts from categories with ID either 2,6,17
just use an ampersand to seperate multiple queries (ie how many posts to display and from which categories)
for example:
query_posts('category_name=Uncategorized&showposts=3');
or
query_posts('cat=1,3,5&showposts=12');
(you can also query your tags, with the code tag=TAG_NAME for example
query_posts('tag=digital&showposts=6');
would return the 6 latest posts tagged with 'digital'
...
infact theres a huge amount of queries you can run if you understand a little php, with guide and examples here)
hope that helps
Ciarán
What can I say. Many thanks.
