AnonymousHi there,
When I try to use the below code to get the 5 latest comments, I get this error :
Warning: array_slice() [function.array-slice]: The first argument should be an array in /home/site/www/wp-content/themes/default/sidebar.php on line 123
Code :
<li>
<h2>Last 5 Comments On </a></h2>
<?php
// Include the RSS functions of wordpress
include_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/rss.php');
// Grab my RSS feed
$feed = fetch_rss("<?php bloginfo('comments_rss2_url');>");
// I want 5 results please
$maxitems = 5;
$items = array_slice($feed->items, 0, $maxitems);
// Output the results!
if(!empty($items)) {
echo '<ul>';
foreach ($items as $item) {
echo '<li>';
echo '<a href="';
// This is a bit messy, but it makes the output valid XHTML strict by removing ampersands
$item['link'] = str_replace("&", "&", $item['link']);
$item['link'] = str_replace("&&", "&", $item['link']);
// End of messyness. Output the link
echo $item['link'];
echo '">';
// Output the title
echo $item['title'];
echo '</a>';
// If i've written a description, output it
if (isset($item['description'])) {
echo '<br />';
echo $item['description'];
}
echo '</li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
}
?>The frustrating thing is : when I put another RSS feed into the fetch_rss location field, it works just fine.
Directly inputting the /sites/comment/feed address into the fetch_rss location field also does not work. Same error.
Going with Firefox to /site/comments/feed works just fine.
This happens whether or not I have the Feedburner FeedSmith plugin turned on.
As a side note, how can I reduce the number of characters returned to say, 50?
Thanks VERY much for your help on this, I really need assistance here.
Line 123 is BTW -
$items = array_slice($feed->items, 0, $maxitems);
