Run standalone as a script? #10

Open bixfrankonis opened 1 year ago

Is there a way to run this as a standalone that just generates a pre-determined feed based on a cron schedule?

Yes I believe you can.

The generated XML file is actually a php file. Running that XML file (irrespective of whether you change the extension or not) as a php script should do the trick.

Okay, yeah. That does work, except somehow the items in the resulting RSS feed aren't rendering any HTML in the item but instead printing out the HTML (and being mostly code ignorant I am not sure how to correct that). It's clearly happening in function file_get_contents_utf8($url). I'll keep trying to wrap my brain around the PHP enough to figure this out. Thanks.

Solved what was happening there, but as near as I can tell hfeeds isn’t actually checking to see if an item has updated but is simply indicating every item is new whenever the script is run.

Please share your findings.

hFeeds isn't to (and can't) tell if there is a new content, that is the job of a Feed Aggregator. hFeeds is only expected to help generate RSS Feeds for the sites which don't have one.

I guess I just assumed, because since this was presented as a Feed43 alternative, it would do this. Feed43 feeds always worked for me out of the box. I can't seem to get this to work in the same way. 🤷

No worries.
