Possible to pass template variable to PHP?

[vrocks]

I want to add this code to the RSS feed template, subtemplate:

Code: Select all

<enclosure url="<!--THUMB_URL-->" length="<? echo filesize("/web/sites/domain.com/" . parse_url("<!--THUMB_URL-->",PHP_URL_PATH)); ?>" type="image/jpeg" />

If the THUMB_URL was parsed before the PHP code then this should work. It seems the PHP is parsed first?

Code: Select all

<pubDate><?=date('r', strtotime('<!--ACTIVATION_DATE-->'))?></pubDate>

That code from the WIKI also doesn't work correctly...

Code: Select all

<pubDate>Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500</pubDate>

Why do you think it doesn't work ?

Notice in my own reply that the date wasn't output by your script so the timestamp shows default for 0 seconds from epoch.

what actual date for you have in admin for that thumb >

Code: Select all

I am going to run a test right now where I hardcode the date and I don't.

Now it is working... Gremlins!

I swear it didn't work for me before. All dates for all thumbs were epoch. So now I am working on the original problem. The thumbnail size in bytes.

It should give me the number but is instead blank. Testing it in a file with a hardcoded thumbnail URL plucked from the RSS feed it works.

There's no tag to output thumb's size in bytes so you have to use your own code
