How can I get my Bloglines reader to display on a New Page?

  • Hey,

    I’m a newbie, but would like to find a way to display a Bloglines list of Feeds on a separate page in my Blog.

    I’ve downloaded and installed the “bloglines reader” plug-in, seemingly successfully. I tried copying the template code into the field for creating a New Page but, not surprisingly, this didn’t work.

    Can anyone help? Thanks.

    After messing with the templates a little, I wonder, can this even be done?

    After a quick look, it looks like the function call for it wasd designed to run in a sidebar, so if you plunk the same code in a Page, no it won’t work. Code won’t execute when on a Page.

    Get the runPHP plugin, then it should. ??

    Andrea,

    Thanks a ton for your help. I’ve installed the runPHP plugin, and have set the page to ‘run PHP code,’ but still no luck.

    Maybe I shouldn’t be putting the code in the text field?

    Do I need to create a separate PHP file, maybe?

    what does the function call look like? if it’s a simple call, CG-QuickPHP is sometimes an easier solution to embedding PHP calls in a page.

    David,Thanks for the help.

    Bloglines Reader is the plug-in I installed and it recommends using this:

    if ( function_exists(‘showBloglinesReader’) ) {
    showBloglinesReader();
    }

    in the template for a sidebar, (I can always re-size in a new page)

    Thanks again.

    With CG-QuickPHP, you’d add to the body of a Page something like:

    <quickphp showBloglinesReader(); />

    That’s pretty much it.
