I’m a really big fan of Dan Cederholm’s latest project, Dribbble. A website for designers to show what they’re working on.

and today I came across this WordPress Plugin which pulls your Dribbble shots into your site; I’ve taken a look at the code, and its pretty much just one main PHP file.

Would anyone have the expertise to convert this into a MODx Snippet or recreate its functionality for MODx?

Any help from a programmer would be awesome

Here’s a very quick and dirty snippet that will output the title, date & image for each of the latest items :

<?php
$limit = (isset($limit)) ? $limit : 4; //$limit is how many you want
$playerName = (isset($playerName)) ? $playerName : "AdamWintle";
$feed_url = (isset($feed_url)) ? $feed_url : 'http://dribbble.com/players/'.$playerName.'/shots.rss';
$xml = simplexml_load_file($feed_url);
$i=0;
$o .='<div class="dribbble">'."\r\n";
foreach($xml->channel->item as $key => $value)
{
if ($i < $limit)
{
preg_match("/img\ (.*(img>))/", $value->description, $image_url);
$o .= '<h2>'.$value->title.'</h2>'."\r\n";
$o .= '<h4>'.$value->pubDate.'</h4>'."\r\n";
$o .= '<img '.$image_url[1].''."\r\n";
}
$i++;
}
$o .= '</div>'."\r\n";
return $o;
?>

Thank you! I should be able to build onto that. That’s exactly what I needed
