You can forego the use of PHPExec and do the same thing with a custom Page Template.
Thanks for the code!
thanks for the tip. wordpress is great, it allows you to create so much other useful stuff.
You can also use CG-Feedread, which has a sample file for doing the same basic thing. It can be used inside or outside of the WP context, depending on your needs. A great example is at http://www.realtechnews.com/blog/rtnews.php

Actually I would love to use cg-feedread, or at least try iy out but I don’t seem to be able to download it. Anyone can help
Hi,
For those of us not so up on the coding… I did everything that MarkD99 mentioned but get the following: http://4clicksgps.com/wordpress/?page_id=28 . What am I doing wrong. Thanks.
I get the same error.
Parse error: parse error, unexpected ‘:’ in /home/jimw3141/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/phpexec.php(61) : eval()’d code on line 6
BTW I’m using WP 1.5. Maybe that’s the problem.
Thanks.
The problem is that the “:” needs to be a “;” in the line —
$streams[] = “”;

Changed the colon to a semicolon and it works fine now. Thanks.
Chinaman-
Feedread is part of the CG-PowerPack. It downloads and installs as one, and then you can activate (or not!) whichever plugins you want. I did that as it allows me to share a bunch of helper code between the more complex plugins, without duplication.

Thanks -d .
I luckily was able to finally download CG-Powerpack, must have been some chinese netnanny obstructing before:) Will start playing with it.
Ok I’m checking this out. What I want to do is allow anybody to make an account and add the RSS feed from their blog and have it displayed on the front page.
Will this work for that?

I’m using CG-Feedread on my site (fuzztales.com), and it works great.
You can see it in action here: http://www.fuzztales.com/criminal-law/

Could anyone post the code again? The link appears to have died.
Because I’m an idiot (or html-challenged; they may be one and the same) I tried to copy and paste the code (with the few customizations for my site) into the “write page” section of Word Press. Not suprisingly, something went horribly wrong. Here’s the page:
http://weatherwest.com/current_weather/wp-admin/edit-pages.php
I don’t know where to start fixing this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
BTW, If you don’t want to use CG-Feedread or some other plugin, use the built in fetch_rss function: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/fetch_rss
