Display 1 announcements in sidebar

[sequencehost]

Hello,

 

I'm looking to display 1 announcement in the sidebar of WHMCS, I've found the following code in the view announcements file:

 

{if $announcements}

{foreach from=$announcements item=announcement}
<p>{$announcement.date} - <a href="announcements.php?id={$announcement.id}">{$announcement.title}</a> - {$announcement.text|strip_tags|truncate:100:"..."}</p>
{/foreach}

{/if}

 

Would anyone happen to know how I can use this code to display just 1 announcement rather than all of them.

 

Thanks George.

yes.. use the rss feed to pull the data back into the website..

 

 

<?php

 

 

$xml=("https://www.yourwebsite.com/whmcsdir/announcementsrss.php");

 

$xmlDoc = new DOMDocument();

$xmlDoc->load($xml);

 

 

//get and output "<item>" elements

$x=$xmlDoc->getElementsByTagName('item');

for ($i=0; $i<=0; $i++)

{

$item_title=$x->item($i)->getElementsByTagName('title')

->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue;

$item_link=$x->item($i)->getElementsByTagName('link')

->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue;

$item_desc=$x->item($i)->getElementsByTagName('description')

->item(0)->childNodes->item(0)->nodeValue;

 

 

echo ("<h1>Company News:</h1> <a href='" . $item_link

. "'>" . $item_title . "</a> <p style=\"color:white;\">". strip_tags($item_desc)."</p>");

 

 

 

 

}

 

 

?>

 

 

also I got the code from: http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_ajax_rss_reader.asp so no need to thank me..
