Producing own web feed

[DanielHardy]

Hi I have the following controller that helps me to be able to create, read, update and delete records (CRUD)

 

I am trying to create my own RSS feed based upon the generated data.

 

Here is my Controller code

 

<?php

class ForumController extends Zend_Controller_Action 
{
    function indexAction()
    {
        $this->view->title = "My Forums";
        $forums = new Forums();
        $this->view->forums = $forums->fetchAll();
        
    }
    
public function searchAction()
{
}



    // application/controllers/GuestbookController.php

    public function feedAction()
    {
      // Change layout to blank.phtml (empty file)
      $this->_helper->layout->setLayout('blank');

      // Set feed values
      $array['title'] = 'Guestbook feed';
      $array['link'] = 'http://www.somewhere.com/';
      $array['description'] = 'This is guestbook feed';
      $array['charset'] = 'utf-8';
      // You need to change this line to read $array['charset'] = 'utf-8'; (Note the change to the 'utf8' part)
      
      // Loop through db records and add feed items to array
    $forums = new Forums();
      $model = $this->_getForm();
    foreach($this->forums as $forum) 
      {
        $array['entries'][] = array(
          'title' => $row->email = $form->getValue['email'],
          'link' =>  $row->title = $form->getValue['title'],
          'description' => $row->comment = $form->getValue['comment']
	  
	   
        );
      }
            
      // Import rss feed from array
      $feed = Zend_Feed::importArray($array, 'rss');

      // Send http headers and dump the feed
      $feed->send();
    }















    function addAction()
    {
        $this->view->title = "Add New Album";
        
        $form = new ForumForm();
        $form->submit->setLabel('Add');
        $this->view->form = $form;
        
        if ($this->_request->isPost()) {
            $formData = $this->_request->getPost();
            if ($form->isValid($formData)) {
                $forums = new Forums();
                $row = $forums->createRow();
                $row->email = $form->getValue('email');
                $row->title = $form->getValue('title');
			$row->comment = $form->getValue('comment');
                $row->save();
                
                $this->_redirect('/forum');
            } else {
                $form->populate($formData);
            }
        }
    }
    
    function editAction()
    {
        $this->view->title = "Edit Album";
        
        $form = new ForumForm();
        $form->submit->setLabel('Save');
        $this->view->form = $form;
        
        if ($this->_request->isPost()) {
            $formData = $this->_request->getPost();
            if ($form->isValid($formData)) {
                $forums = new Forums();
                $id = (int)$form->getValue('id');
                $row = $forums->fetchRow('id='.$id);
                $row->email = $form->getValue('email');
                $row->title = $form->getValue('title');
			$row->comment = $form->getValue('comment');
                $row->save();
                
                $this->_redirect('/forum');
            } else {
                $form->populate($formData);
            }
        } else {
            // album id is expected in $params['id']
            $id = (int)$this->_request->getParam('id', 0);
            if ($id > 0) {
                $forums = new Forums();
                $forum = $forums->fetchRow('id='.$id);
                $form->populate($forum->toArray());
            }
        }
    }
    
    function deleteAction()
    {
        $this->view->title = "Delete Album";
        
        if ($this->_request->isPost()) {
            $id = (int)$this->_request->getPost('id');
            $del = $this->_request->getPost('del');
            if ($del == 'Yes' && $id > 0) {
                $forums = new Forums();
                $where = 'id = ' . $id;
                $forums->delete($where);
            }
            $this->_redirect('/forum');
        } else {
            $id = (int)$this->_request->getParam('id');
            if ($id > 0) {
                $forums = new Forums();
                $this->view->forum = $forums->fetchRow('id='.$id);
            }
        }
    }
}

 

Please notice the feed action. When it runs and i browse to my feed page I am just shown a blank page. In that the code is running fine but im guessing it is not finding my form data.

 

Please any suggestion I have been scratching my head over this for weeks.

 

And just incase my view is simply :

 

<?
echo $this->feedxml;

 

 

 

Thanks in advance

 

Dan

Since you are using Zend Framework have you tried or are you using the Zend_Feed class?
