Hi CS,
You are so close from the solution!
Ok, here is a basic break down of the problems:
You should not preexecute any code in CMS because you would not want
to republish the page each time the remote RSS updates. You would
rather the code run dynamically on the Unix Web Server, so you would
need to publish out PHP code.
PHP code do not work in CMS because it is on a WIndows Server (Well,
you can, but need a lot work to get it running).
So you just need rendertag to say, if not publish, display message
saying RSS not available in current mode, else, output PHP code
<reddot:cms>
<if>
<query valuea="Context:CurrentRenderMode" operator="!="
valueb="Int:2">
<htmltext>
<div>The external RSS feed is only available on published web
site.</div>
</htmltext>
</query>
<query type="else">
<htmltext>
<?php include("external_rss.php"); ?>
</htmltext>
</query>
</if>
</reddot:cms>
In the event that you DO wish users to be able to see RSS even in non
publish mode, well, you can use AJAX or ASP in that mode, but then you
would have to maintain 2 set of code.
Best regards and best of luck,
-Jian
