Ok. That seems to work ok. Monday's feed went out well, but Tuesday returned Friday's feed.

The feed is here: http://www.eldoradopublicschools.com/content/rssmesh/rssMesh.php?CONFIGFILE=cafeteria3.php

Think you could take a look?

Thanks,

... and here is my code for RSS Mesh.

Code:

$useOutputCaching = 1;

$outputCacheTTL = 3600;

$XMLTemplate = "rssMesh_Template.xml";

$sortOutputByPubDate = 0;

$feedList = Array(

// Entry #1
Array("fileURL" => "http://www.eldoradopublicschools.com/cafeteria3.xml",
? ? ? "itemCount" => "6",
? ? ? "feedTTL" => "3600"

? ? ? )
);

?>

I think I have fixed the problem and emailed you a newer version of rssMesh.php.

How long has it been since you tried the updated version? Since you have $useOutputCaching = 1; it will take 1 hour for the changes to show up.

Something else funny is going on, because when I look at the page I see the HTML the makes up the output for the menu.

Lets start from scratch here.

* You have a feed http://www.eldoradopublicschools.com/cafeteria3.xml
* You want to show the current day's menu on your webpage

If you are only displaying the HTML for the current days menu and don't supply access to the XML all you need is rss2html.php. That will convert your RSS feed to html that can be included into the page. You can also right in there limit to only 1 item and to not display items in the future. Where ever you have it installed you can use the buildURL utility to help, rss2html.php?buildURL

Jim,
Hi! Thanks for all your input. I've started using RSS2HTML and I think it's great! When I set my limit to 1 it still displays Monday (today is Friday). Am I missing a setting somewhere?

Output: http://www.eldoradopublicschools.com/rss/rss2html.php?XMLFILE=http://www.eldoradopublicschools.com/cafeteria3.xml&TEMPLATE=http://www.eldoradopublicschools.com/rss/sample-template.html&MAXITEMS=1&NOFUTUREITEMS=1

RSS2HTML: http://www.eldoradopublicschools.com/rss/rss2html.php
XML File: http://www.eldoradopublicschools.com/cafeteria3.xml
Template File: http://www.eldoradopublicschools.com/rss/sample-template.html

Thanks again for all your help!

But, this is easy to fix.

Quote:

Maximum items: (Use negative numbers for the last X items)

http://www.eldoradopublicschools.com/rss/rss2html.php?XMLFILE=http://www.eldoradopublicschools.com/cafeteria3.xml&TEMPLATE=http://www.eldoradopublicschools.com/rss/sample-template.html&MAXITEMS=-1&NOFUTUREITEMS=1

That should work just fine.
