$RDFheadlines = array_splice($RDFheadlines, 0, -5);
 


okay, using that...i think i got it to grab the right headlines.

BUT...it works oddly on some feeds (i think depending on how they are published)

for some feeds..there are still many more entries...and on some feeds...wired news for instance....there are only 2 that now show up on my block.

dah...slowly, slowly.

        if( !$rdferror )
        {
            $RDFheadlines = array_slice($RDFheadlines,0,5);
            $blockcontent = COM_makeList( $RDFheadlines );
            $blockcontent = preg_replace( "/(\015\012)|(\015)|(\012)/", '',
                                          $blockcontent );
            $result = DB_change( $_TABLES['blocks'], 'content', $blockcontent,
                                 'bid', $bid);
 


OKAY

i think i finally have it.

instead of array SPLICE
use array SLICE

(no P)

that seems to work perfectly now.

(well, until i find out i'm missing somethign again.)

i hope this helps SOMEONE in the future.

If I change this from 0 to 3 I'm receiving an error

Text Formatted Code
$maxheadlines = 0; // set to something > 0 to limit max. number of headlines

 


Parse error: parse error in /srv/www/htdocs/web393/html/lib-common.php on line 3712

Warning: main(lib-story.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /srv/www/htdocs/web393/html/index.php on line 38

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'lib-story.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php') in /srv/www/htdocs/web393/html/index.php on line 38

Then I tried drali's code and it worked. Is this still a bug in 1.3.11sr2 ? You had been talking about 1.3.10 before.

Basically I think that there should be an editable limit in lines displayed in a block. This is also desireable for some more variables. These

$_CONF['newstoriesinterval'] $_CONF['newcommentsinterval'] $_CONF['newlinksinterval'] should rather have a limit in lines displayed than days, hours etc. This may be true for some more things like events etc.

Already in CVS and will be in 1.3.12.

I've got

Text Formatted Code
$maxheadlines = 10; // set to something > 0 to limit max. number of headlines
 


but, I'm still getting more than 10 'headlines' from RSS feeds (in particular from the National Weather Service - 58 'headlines').

Any ideas as to why this isn't limiting the feeds to 10?

John

I can`t tell you why but if you want to limit the length then use drali`s code above. It works with me.

If I have to hack the code to make it work, I will. But, I would much rather use the functions that are already built into the code.

Dirk, got a good answer for me, as to why this setting doesn't work?
