Question displaying RSS aggregator properties (no luck yet)

[eburrows]

I updated entries.tpl to include some of the extended properties for the entries in the RSS feed I am aggregating. But for some reason I am not having luck displaying this information. I have tried multiple things but to no avail.

For example I added the following to entries.tpl:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

{if $entry.properties.ep_aggregator_feed eq ""}
<b>No rss value</b>
{/if}

{$entry.properties.ep_aggregator_articleurl}
------------------------------------------------------------------------

So I went into edit mode and previewed the result and the articleurl doesn't appear and it says it echos "No rss value"!! I went into the code and echoed out the entry id and then went into the database and looked for the entries for that entry id in the extendedproperties table. I know those fields have values but for some reason it won't access them. Is there something that I am missing? I went back through the code and edited entries.inc.php and functions_entries_admin.inc.php and am able to display the articleurl that way but for a variety of reasons I would rather use the simpler smarty call.

Is there something I am doing wrong or missing? I know that smarty can read my extendedproperties table because I added an extended field and can properly display that in my entry.. just for some reason I can't access any of the aggregator fields.

Any help would be great!

Hi!

What happens on the frontend of your blog (NOT the preview mode), is it displayed there?

Which s9y version are you using?

What is the output of a

Code: Select all

SELECT * FROM serendipity_entryproperties WHERE entryid = <YOUR-ENTRY-ID>

?

Best regards,

Garvin,

No, when I publish an article it isn't displayed either. It just seemed weird to me because filtering through the entries in entryproperties i found other types of properties that I can successfully display using entries.tpl. For example I can display a custom field that I added and I just randomly selected properties to since if they displayed..

{if $entry.properties.ep_access}
<b>access = {$entry.properties.ep_access}</b>
{/if}

that call displays 'access=public' in both preview and publish mode. Here is an output of mysql when querying one of the aggregator entries

------------------------------------------
mysql> select * from serendipity_entryproperties where entryid = '421';
+---------+--------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
| entryid | property | value |
+---------+--------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 421 | ep_aggregator_articleurl | http://sciencenow.sciencemag.org/cgi/co ... 03/2?rss=1 |
| 421 | ep_aggregator_categoryid | NULL |
| 421 | ep_aggregator_feed | 4 |
| 421 | ep_aggregator_feedname | Science Magazine |
| 421 | ep_aggregator_feedurl | http://sciencenow.sciencemag.org/rss/current.xml |
| 421 | ep_aggregator_htmlurl | NULL |
+---------+--------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
6 rows in set (0.00 sec)
------------------------------------------

Sorry for the bad and ugly formatting, but as you can see there are entries there smarty just for some reason doesn't see it.
I am using Serendipity 1.0-beta3

thanks again for the help,
Evan

Hi!

Hm, the output you showed me only has the ep_aggregator_* fields in it. Could you try to edit such an article and insert a s9y custom property field to see if that gets inserted?

You do have the "Extended Properties" event plugin installed, right? Which version is it?

You might want to use

Code: Select all

<pre>{$entry.properties|@print_r}</pre>

in your smarty template to check how the complete properties array is presented there. (You might need to set

Code: Select all

$serendipity['smarty']->security = false;

in a "config.inc.php" file inside your template directory to be able to use print_r!)

The ep_access property is actually joined differently to the SQL query, so this is not really a good example on how to fetch properties, so I'd need to check how it comes that the properties are not all fetched...

Best regards,
Garvin
