   Hello,

   I am totally not known with php, but try to integrate Twitter with the comments.

   The idea is that you can click a link which generates a hashtag on Twitter. And under each article I wanna publish the tweets with the specific hashtag.

   I solved the publishing, which look like:

   Use hashtag #MR_<?php the_ID(); ?> or <a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=MR_<?php the_ID(); ?>">click here</a><p>

   Now I wanna use WordPress built in rss reader to pull the comments on Twitter.

   <?php include_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/rss.php');
   wp_rss("http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=MR_<?php the_ID(); ?>)", 10); ?>

   That doesn't work. I read that you can't nest php functions. How can show an specific rss-feed under each article?

   instead of returning the value the_ID function print the value on screen.
   So here is one small hack to get it done.
   <?php include_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/rss.php');
   ob_start();
   the_ID();
   $ID=ob_get_clean();
   wp_rss("http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=MR_$ID)", 10); ?>

   Enjoy... In India we call it a Jugaad

   What about using custom fields? I have a custom field called rss which stores the url to the rss feed for a site. I'd like to grab the value and place it into the wp_rss call.

   wp_rss("http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=MR_{$post->ID})", 10); ?>

   If you're in a function, you'll need to call global $post; before that.

   Hello
   Im having an issue with calling a custom field data into the feed url.

   I basically want a page to show a different feed url based on whats been inputed into the custom field option. How would i implement this using this setup.
   

   <?php
   	   $feeds =  get_post_meta($post->ID, 'feeds',true);
   ?>
   <?php
   	include_once(ABSPATH.WPINC.'/rss.php'); // path to include script
   	$feed = fetch_rss('FEED-URL I WANT TO CALL FROM A CUSTOM FIELD'); // specify feed url
   	$items = array_slice($feed->items, 0, 3); // specify first item and duration
   ?>
   <?php if (!empty($items)) : ?>
   <?php foreach ($items as $item) : ?>
   <a href="<?php echo $item['link']; ?>"><?php echo $item['description']; ?></a>
   <?php endforeach; ?>
   <?php endif; ?>

   thanks in advanced to anyone with a solution.

   ISSUE RESOLVED!!!

   I used $feeds as my custom field option

   <?php // Get RSS Feed(s)
   							include_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/rss.php');
   							$feeds =  get_post_meta($post->ID, 'feeds',true);
   							$rss = fetch_rss($feeds);
   							$maxitems = 5;
   							$items = array_slice($rss->items,0,$maxitems);
   
   							?>
   
   							<ul>
   							<?php if (empty($items)) echo '<li>No items</li>';
   							else
   							foreach ( $items as $item ) : ?>
   							<li><a href='<?php echo $item['link']; ?>'
   							title='<?php echo $item['title']; ?>'>
   							<?php echo $item['title']; ?>
   							</a></li>
   							<?php endforeach; ?>
   							</ul>
   
   						</div>
