Wrapper/fetcher for dynamic php/html info

[Reinoutw]

Hello,

I've installed Joomla 1.0.12 ans it looks great. I want to use it to integrate dynamic content (that updates each month or week) into my site. Joomla got the Wrapper for this kind of stuff, but I don't want an Iframe and I want to make the layout for the content myself and decide which content is fetched.

I've searched today (about 8 hours) to find such a tool. I've found RSS tools, fetch programs, etc. but not the tool I'm looking for. The best tool is the tool that is integrated in Joomla and where I can decide from which to which part of the source the tool must fetch/wrap. It would be great if the data can be stripped (id's etc, I don't want in my code).

Is there a tool like this?

Thanks for your response.

So you want to bring in a piece of an external web site, stripping certain code from it so that you can format it yourself?

I suspect that you will have to write a piece of php to do this.

1. Find a way to pull in the code using either rss, cUURL etc.
2. Parse the input text through a code cleaning routine to remove the stuff you don't want

Correct, that's what I want.

Ok, I thought I was not the only one who wants such a kind of functionality

Thanks for your reply!
