I want to use plugin outside wordpress

  • I am normally a happy user of wordpress, and therefore it came across my mind to use the functionallity of it in a site that is is not embedded in wordpress. I would like to use BDP RSS Aggregator plugin and Feedlist by Rawlinson. This to plugin are calling aggregated feeds by the commands: <?php BDPRSS2::output(6); ?> and <?php feedList(“https://del.icio.us/rss/finalcut&#8221;); ?>

    Is there anybody out the who has a hint on how I can call thiese commands from outside the themes-folder, in other words from the root of the site?

  • The page using it must be a .php page

    At the top of that page, include the file wp-blog-header.php and then you can use any wp function.
    So if you have /blog and you want it at root:
    <?php include (‘path/to/blog/wp-blog-header.php’); ?>
    should be at the top of the page.

    That make sense ?

    Actually I had the whole blog-machinery in the root, so i just put <?php include (‘wp-blog-header.php’); ?> on top of the page, and it works. Thank you very much for understanding and explaining undertandable, podz. You saved me alot of troubleshooting.

    By the way podz. You seem to be knowing something of PHP and HTML. Do you know a HTML-tag I can place around the PHP-tag for getting feeds, so that the links a disabled. Meaning, I would like to show the headlines but without the links. The reason for asking about this is, that I am interested in this for specific feeds, but not all – this is why I don’t want to disable the links in the PHP-coding. The overall reason for alle this, is that danish newspapers don’t alowe deeplinking.

    you’d have to output-buffer the plugins, then go in and strip out the [a href][/a] bits yourself. OR, modify the plugins to not output the links in the first place…

    btw, there are other aggregators (like my CG-FeedRead) that work just fine without dragging in any WP code whatsoever. that’s potentially a lot of overhead… YMMV.
