Hi Everyone,

First of all I've got to say I've never felt better about spending a hundred bucks than buying Coffee Cup HTML editor and Form Build It. The software and community is phenomenal so Thanks Everyone!!

Here's my story: I'm using CC HTML editor to recode all of my pages because Im moving my hosting but I also have a page on my site which I've never been quite sure how to duplicate it's functionality but now I'm closing in on it but need a little help.

If you goto this page: http://goo.gl/ne34A and scroll down below the fold you'll several headings and descriptions of pages throughout my site and after some research, I've learned this is coming from my Feedburner feed that can be seen here: http://goo.gl/ApT3f so I dug around and found a line of code and placed that on my new page hoping to see my "feed" displayed down my page similarly to how it is now.

Here's the code I inserted: (PHP Includes are enabled on my host)
<?php echo feedburner_url ("http://feeds.feedburner.com/motocross-off-road-fmx"); ?>
(I've tried single and double quotes inside and out of the parentheses, as well as with and without parentheses)

And here's the error I get:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function feedburner_url() in /home/yourad7/public_html/Motocross-blog.html on line 79

I think I'm really close to cracking this and if anyone could so kindly share with me what I can do to simulate what I already have here: http://goo.gl/ne34A I would be most appreciative and I thank you all in advance.

BTW, My current host will not reveal how this works. It's one of their special "Features" specific to their host.

Thanks Y'all

Basically I'm just wanting the always updating content below the heading: "Current Feed Content" on this page: http://feeds.feedburner.com/motocross-off-road-fmx to appear on this page: http://goo.gl/ne34A

What you need is some simple PHP code to parse your RSS feed (which feedburner is generating) and create the links along your sidebar.

Depending on how code saavy you feel, SimplePie is a nice PHP library for working with feeds. You can use it to read your feed and generate the links you need.

Another option you could potentially look into is using Feedburner's own "Headline" widget that will scroll through your posts. Check it out in the Publicize section where you manage your feed in Feedburner.

I know there are some WordPress plugins specific to feedburner out there. Maybe somebody has created a more generic one.

Hope this helps!

Hi Sean,

Thanks for getting back to me on this.

I actually found a feature within Feedburner that does just what I want (almost) and was wondering if you could advise on some troubles I'm having. (This Feature is the "BuzzBoost")

This is the page I am working on: http://ecbiz122.inmotionhosting.com/~yo … -blog.html (that is a temp URL I am using to get my site configured on the new server btw)

I now have my feeds displaying down the page but I have this pesky bullet to the left of each listing and I'd like to get rid of the bullet and fine tune a couple things but Im having trouble

According to Google's help I can add a section to my CSS file to get rid of these bullets which I have done but they keep showing up.

Here's the help page: http://support.google.com/feedburner/bi … ;ctx=topic

I have inserted the following code into my CSS file also but it is not seeming to have any affect:
div.feedburnerFeedBlock ul {
margin-left:0;
padding-left:0;
list-style-type: none
}

div.feedburnerFeedBlock ul ul {
list-style-type: disc;
}

div.feedburnerFeedBlock ul ol {
list-style-type: decimal;
}


Any ideas why this isn't having any affect?

Also, Google talks about the output code but when I view the source code for the HTML page, all I see is the snipet that I pasted. I don't even see the code when I ctrl+U that makes up all the headings...

I greatly appreciate your help and am looking forward to your response.

Thanks!!

You're missing the ID for your div. Look for it in the page inside the opening div.

< div class="feedburnerFeedBlock" id="yourblogtitle2240bigo3psvtcn0l6biqvcef8" >

Oh, and SimplePie +1 FTW
Let's not get all hurt.

SirAge,

Sorry, just don't want my site showing up in Search for this page. It's a common practice among webmasters to mask a url as it keeps un relevant traffic away (high bounce rate) and it's just a good practice really.

Additionally, the URL above is only a temp url anyways that should be non existant in a few days.

Edit: BTW, I've already crossed this hurdle.

Thanks

Could you update your post to reflect what you did to fix the issue?:) Did Davids suggestion fix it for you?
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

That might be true for some people, but I'm with SirAGE on the tiny url thing. I don't click them either. Be glad to help ya out, but not when I might jeopardize my computer in any way just to do so. Not that you are doing anything fishy, but many people use tiny urls to mask their spams and scams and virus and spyware ridden websites. No thanks.

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
