Have PF on your website!

[Greg Bernhardt]

If you have your own website you can have an updated steam of current PF posts right on your site.

Just copy this code into your page and thats it!

I should note that this feed only takes from the "physics forums", you can add more or exclude some by editing "forumids=111,61,62,63,64,71". You can find forum ids but looking at each forum url which will include the id.

Whats the limit for checking the rss feed? My ip got temporarily banned on slashdot because I wrote my program to check every 5 minutes. Slashdot only permits checking once every 30 minutes.

We don't have a limit, but please be kind to our bandwidth and don't check every five minutes :smile:

[Greg Bernhardt]

Anyone using this? If so I'd like to sneek a peek at the site :smile:

[Monique]

Well.. i did.. not that my site is really developed or anything.. besides the nice colors and all (I did the designing myself) ;)

it's under 'sites' (http://home.student.uva.nl/monique.vandervoet/)

Greg, I would be more than happy to have your website posted to mine. I finally have ours done for the state of Texas home educators. Problem is, I am now out of my "rhelm" for further programming and/or additions to the site. I need to find a person who would be willing to finish up a couple of additions...... hint, hint...... :smile:

[elas]

Can someone tell me the correct way to enter this code in MSFRONTPAGE

[musky_ox]

Highlight, Cntl-C, click into the code section for frontpage, Cntl-V

[elas]

musky ox-Thanks-elas

[exequor]

hey this is a cool addon to any website. i will add it to my website soon since i'm a big fan of physicsforums.

[yxgao]

I was able to do this in Ms Frontpage. It's simple. You can either copy and paste the HTML into the page under "Code" view, or paste it into "Design" view and choose "Paste as HTML" from the suitcase icon.

[futb0l]

Pretty cool :)

The script doesn't work in my IE5.5 browser. I get Javascript errors because apparently the threads don't download. It is OK with Mozilla and Opera though.
Also, I noticed that your server actually sends out 15 threads, whereas the script above prints out only 10.

Right, you can change it back to 15, I thought 10 was a little neater though.

Here, i added to my site which is my homepage (for my use mostly, i don't get many visitors). :smile:
http://www.bloo.us

[moose]

When I finally get around to creating my website, I'll make sure to put this on there!

[-Job-]

Greg, could you have a version of the script that doesn't set a cookie? Having a script set a cookie from another domain resembles tracking cookies and all, so i'm getting a privacy report in IE for my website.

[Greg Bernhardt]

Greg, could you have a version of the script that doesn't set a cookie? Having a script set a cookie from another domain resembles tracking cookies and all, so i'm getting a privacy report in IE for my website.

I'm not going to alter anything for one persons personal security setting, sorry :smile: Can't you just ignore it or set it to allow cookies?

[-Job-]

That's not the problem, i do allow the cookies it's just that in most IE browsers there will be a little privacy icon at the bottom of the page and a popup message because a cookie was set that was from another domain.
The only problem is that visitors to my site might think i'm tracking them with cookies because of this.
For example at school in all the computers at the computer lab this happened. It's not my settings in particular.

[-Job-]

Actually, IE even blocks the cookie by default, so it's not even being used. It's not just my settings either, it's the default setting. Don't take it personally but i think you ought to rethink the cookie.

[Greg Bernhardt]

Is this still working for everyone?

[Mattara]

Here is the RSS feed from my website:

http://www.moridin.moved.in/physics/index.php?option=com_newsfeeds&task=view&feedid=11&Itemid=7

It works very well. I just love it. now I can stay PF on other sites aswell. Thank you very much for setting this up :)

[-Job-]

An alternative is to set the cookie from the Javascript code rather than the PHP script. The problem is that visitors come to the site and a cookie is set from a different domain (physicsforums.com). Browsers don't like this. I mean, i like having links to PF on my site, but i don't like having browsers report a tracking cookie. It just doesn't look good, visitors need to trust the site.

So please Greg, if possible, can you remove the cookie? Or, if i write a version where the javascript sets the cookie (rather than the PHP) would you make that available?

[Greg Bernhardt]

Job I see what you mean. An update I am soon to do maybe handle this for you.

Anyone else using this code or linking to PF. If so, share your website :)

[Greg Bernhardt]

Please add a link to PF on your websites or myspace pages, it helps! :)

[makc]

For those who might use it, here's a php example of parsing their XML feed:<?php

function getPF () {
$threads = array ();
$lines = @file ("http://www.physicsforums.com/external.php?type=xml");

$t = array ();
// this code relies on line breaks they have
for ($i = 0; $i < count($lines); $i++) {
if (preg_match ('/<thread id="(\d+)"/', $lines[$i], $m))
$t ["id"] = $m [1]; else
if (preg_match ('/<title>([^<]+)<\/title/', $lines[$i], $m))
$t ["title"] = $m [1]; else
if (preg_match ('/<author>([^<]+)<\/author/', $lines[$i], $m))
$t ["author"] = $m [1]; else
if (preg_match ('/<data>([^<]+)<\/data/', $lines[$i], $m))
$t ["date"] = $m [1]; else
if (preg_match ('/<time>([^<]+)<\/time/', $lines[$i], $m))
$t ["time"] = $m [1]; else
if (preg_match ('/<time>([^<]+)<\/time/', $lines[$i], $m))
$t ["time"] = $m [1]; else
if (preg_match ('/<\/thread>/', $lines[$i])) {
// add to array
array_push ($threads, $t); $t = array ();
}
}

return $threads;
}

?>



<PRE><?php /* test output */ print_r (getPF ()); ?></PRE>The result of this code looks like:Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 167743
[title] => How to include an image?
[author] => lpfr
[date] => 04-27-2007
[time] => 02:27 AM
)

[1] => Array
(
[id] => 167741
[title] => simple partial fractions help (warning complex analysis :P )
[author] => trickae
[date] => 04-27-2007
[time] => 01:58 AM
)
...You can use this array then to create content the way you want. I do not know that way, so it is not in this example :) Enjoy.

[makc]

Btw, I think people would more likely use feeds filtered by username(s) on their personal sites. Can you please add this feature, in the same way as you filter by forums right now?

Thanks for your consideration.

[Greg Bernhardt]

makc thanks for the code and suggestion, I will look into it!

I bet myspace doesn't allow the execution of javascript. :(
You could just add PF as a normal link. :)

[Greg Bernhardt]

Bumping for a another reminder to get a link to PF on your website! :)

[Mk]

Greg, perhaps you could code up a little html widget that is consistent with the boxes you have on the homepage that describe recent SciAm articles, NASA image of the day, and Physics Post? If you did that, I would love to have it on my site. Right now it looks kind of plain.

With a little HTML knowledge you could easily format/customize it yourself to match you website style :)

[Greg Bernhardt]

Anyone want to show off their PF link on their website?

[Greg Bernhardt]

Bump for the school season. Get PF on your school website :)

[Greg Bernhardt]

Feel free to post your websites here if you have a link to PF on it.

[Loren Booda]

Follow your insight...
Phase Reality!
{^,^}

[Greg Bernhardt]

FYI, get those PF links on your website, because within a few days I'll be running another random draw contest. $25 to the winner!

[Greg Bernhardt]

Friendly bump :smile:

btw, you can now also use your blog RSS to display recent blogs on your websites

[Greg Bernhardt]

Bump for all those returning to school, get a PF link on your website :)

[OmCheeto]

Bump for all those returning to school, get a PF link on your website :)

Does this count (http://home.europa.com/~garry/index.htm)?

I'm pretty sure I'd get a C- from the teacher for the disjointedness of my life.

...........

Also, did you remove your Costa Rica pictures? My friends are flying off to Viejo in 3 days and I couldn't find your bats climbing up the tree pics.

Not that my blog is terribly well read (well I doubt anyone has actually read it yet since I just started it a few days ago):

http://berserkfather.blogspot.com/

I added the bit'o'Java that was posted on this first page to my 'Favorites' page along with a link to PF. I will eventually re-do the favorites page to be a lot nicer. But for now it will do.

Yes absolutely!

[Femme_physics]

Yes absolutely!

LOL. R u serious? :P

And good thing you remembered to reply after only 2 months!

I'll be happy to spam the damn thing everywhere whether it gets me gold or not. :D tbh I am always disappointed I didn't do something more nerdy to add to the naughty expression...like biting on a pencil and holding a pendulum (which I have)... hehe

LMAO. I'll see if I can fashion something soon ^^ :) and I'll see if I can come up with a better pun!

[Femme_physics]

Clearly I need some help coming up with slogans lol

Seriously, I'm all set-up to take a good pic, but lacking something good to write^^

Any ideas?

What can I say!? I think you outdid yourself this time. Looks great! :approve: :redface:

[Femme_physics]

Thank you darling :D :D I'm really glad you like it! XoX

I'm -very- honored to be gold here! *deep bow* What a huge moral boost!

I still say this forum is the best thing that happened to the internet!^^ Screw youtube!

Thank you!

Looks awesome!

And congratulations with the gold! :smile:

[Femme_physics]

Thanks ILS^^
I said it in a PM and I will say it here, you're the best mentor I could've hoped to find! :)

A bit? I say sir my cleavage is more than "a bit!"

And are you saying I should not study for the test just flash my professor?

I'll consider it.

I can tell you, but then I'll be forced to ....well, make me do my homework! ;)

[JaredJames]

A bit? I say sir my cleavage is more than "a bit!"

I was referring to the amount on show, as opposed to the overall quantity. You'll get no complaints either way from here!
