Question

I have a wordpress blog setup inside of my Rails application, i need to display a title and a part of content of a last WP post on my Rails home page. I guess i need to create an xml feed which will output my last post and i will parse that with rails everytime the homepage is called…Do you have any idea of how to set this up? Any wordpress plugin for easy generator maybe?

Answer 1

You could use the standard wordpress xml feed available from your_blog.com/feed. If you want to set it to only show the last past the options are in your_blog.com/wp-admin/options-reading.php

Then you could either parse the xml manually, or use something like nokogiri to do it for you – http://nokogiri.org/tutorials/parsing_an_html_xml_document.html
