SimpleLife
SimpleLife is a (getting not very) simple Wordpress Plugin adapted from my own custom php script for my own lifestream.
Excited? See it in action: Here
NOTE: As of 1.1a Simplelife is currently backwards compatible with PHP4 but timezones may not display correctly. Upgrade to PHP5. PHP4 has now been “end-of-life’d” - its dead.
Features
- Works With All Feeds - even del.icio.us feeds. MagpieRSS, provided by Wordpress and used by other plugins doesn’t work correctly with del.icio.us feeds.
- Feed Icons - provided by the feeds themselves (using appropriate site favicon) or custom icons (provided by you).
- Install And Go - no settings to play with, uses existing wordpress cache, just insert your usernames and choose your color schemes (or don’t).
- Compact/Lightweight - you won’t get lifestream specific CSS on every page where its not needed and you get one function - its all handled on the lifestream page itself.
- Widget Ready - Add your lifestream to your sidebar widget style!
- Themeable - WYSIWYG Styling Options, see examples in the options page “right here, right now”.
As you may have gathered SimpleLife takes its name from the underlying feed parsing software used, SimplePie. SimplePie is included with the plugin (its one of the files you need to upload) and provides safe, fast and compliant parsing technology.
SimpleLife started off an unsupported hack I made available - it worked for my site and that was good enough for me. However.. people started sking awkward questions, and seemed genuinely interested - so I’ve made the whole thing into a proper plugin. The trouble is the more i added the more i needed to add, and the more I thought about adding.
I have included a link to this page in the code and would appreciate it if you would keep the link as is. Afterall, its only fair to give credit for the many hours I’ve spent providing you with an ace lifestream plugin that works, that you can download and use and that works out of the box 
FAQ
Is there a database - will this plugin archive my life?
No! Its really beyond the scope of this plugin - no one really cares what you did on Jan 16th 2004 on the internet. It is kinda cool what you did yesterday though. See?
So it polls the feeds everytime the script is executed?
No! The cache you set determines how long before it repolls the feeds (in seconds). The default is 15 minutes. That doesn’t mean it repolls every fifteen minutes. That means it repolls when the script is run, unless the script was run less than 15 minutes ago. Now I’m confused.
Why doesn’t simple life do/say/look like X/Y/Z?
Sigh. CTRL-F and search through the comments. Check the “To Do” list. If its not been mentioned before request it 
Is it free?
Yes, but why not send me something like sweets through the post. That would be a nice gesture.
OMG Why is it doing this?
Sigh. CTRL-F and search through the comments. Check the “To Do” list. If its not been mentioned before ask about it
I’ve loaded it up and there is code all over the plugin management page?
Looks like a line break issue - if you’re competent enough, open the plugin in a text editor, and convert unix linebreaks. Otherwise download the most recent version. Also - if you do experience this problem, DON’T UPLOAD AND EXTRACT A ZIP. Extract the Zip and upload the files seperately - some servers apparently don’t make zip love like they used to.
Can you make it work on PHP4?
I’ve tried, tried til my fingers were blue in their faces. Simplife is PHP5 - as of August this year PHP4 will be unsupported by all including PHP themselves… so there is no motivation to develop for a dead platform! Unless you fancy paying me :)?!
OK, so my server is PHP4 default, but i can force PHP5 - why is it not working?Why is it PHP4 by default? Change it! PHP5 is better. Its newer. Its shinier. Its a bigger number - and bigger is better. If you absolutely have to do this, make everything inside the wordpress directory run as php5 (some servers let you specify directories) or you will get issues.
Whats a page/template/tag?
Read This. Otherwise, use the widget.
I set up the template but its blank?
Does the widget work? That will narrow down whther or not the plugin is playing up or your template is borked.
The code doesn’t work, it doesn’t it doesn’t it doesn’t it doesn’t it just shows up, fix it for me, FIX IT FOR ME.
Put. It. In. A. Page. Template.
My feed doesn’t format properly, it doesn’t recognise my style options…
Feedburner, Google Reader, Delicious and any other service that links a feed item to a different domain than its source will not work. Don’t use feedburner tbh.
History
- 1.1a
Twitter Feed - Currently truncated, needs to be fixed. - 1.1a
Fix Stripos in PHP4 - Not available on PHP4 installations. - 1.1a
Date Formats - Allow user to display DAY and TIME how they like. - 1.1a
Allow Users To Change Timezone - Optional for PHP5 users to correct times. tz settz - 1.1a
Experimental: Allow PHP4 Users To Change Timezone - Would really be useful even though PHP4 is end-of-life’d furtherreading - 1.1a
Date/Time Display Formats - Including date time display options for each feed item. - 1.1a
Option & Function Tidy Up - Some of the options I’ve used are a bit non specific, which could clash with a similarly badly written plugin - 1.1a
Last.FM Bug - Typo leading to no background color for last.fm - 1.1b
Timezone Bug - Typo leading to call of non PHP4 function in PHP4 installs. - 1.2
Uploaded To Wordpress.org - Plugin updates should now appear in wordpress. - 1.3
PHP Version Indicator - Because people don’t know how to check - 1.3
Twitter is broken! - fixed fixed - 1.3
Remove Stripos Completely - moved to pregmatch as there were still some issues. Fingers crossed with PHP4. - 1.3
Flickr Image Display - Optional setting to allow you to show photos for flickr feeds. - 1.3
Flickr Title Display - Optional setting to allow you to show titless for flickr feeds - useful if showing thumbnails as they are sometimes ugly together.
To Do
- Different Encapsulation? - Requested. Possibly look at using divs instead of lists. I’m not keen on this, I’d rather offer more styling options for the list such as width/height etc.
- Date Cut Off - Only show feed items for last ‘n’ days for example.
- Extra Display Options - Full control over borders etc
- Flickr Tag - Show flickr feed with only one flickr tag.
- Relative Dates - 1 day ago, 2 days ago….
- Fix Line Ends Issues - Assuming thats whats causing the trouble!
- Update SimplePie - Use new basic simplepie plugin.
- Cache Path - Need to update the cache path for root installations.
- Deviant Art Feed - Yes

Hey - This is great! I have been developing a standalone app using PHP, MySQL, and SimpleXML and then I found your WP plugin.
I am going to be updating the CSS to suit my needs, but it is working far better than any tumblr or gelato or whatever.

Thanks for sharing this with the world. I’m enjoying it very much and have tweaked it to work on my site.
Do you know if there’s any way to limit the number of items grabbed from each feed?

Guys,
Thanks for the comments - if your blog theme is public domain, do you mind sending me your altered files so i can make them available for others.
These will be more useful when simplelife becomes a fully fledged plugin.
Apollo, there is indeed a way to limit the feeds, but it requires a fair bit of code changing.
To keep you guys up to date i am aiming to create an options panel under plugins where you can insert the feed address, choose the foreground and background colours, choose the limit for that feed and assign an icon.
Unfortunately time being short this is not like to hit until January.
Cheers.

Great plugin! Much easier than hacking simplepie for wordpress.
One thing to note that the timestamp only works with PHP5+. My PHP was 4.x and was giving errors so had to upgrade it to 5.
Only got one problem my blog entries are listed as delicious entries. I’ve tried changing the css and even the code in the php but still sees it as a a delicious feed. Any idea why?

Ah figured out the problem. I have my blog feed at Feedburner.com. So had to change the simplelife.php to filter out “feedburner”.
This could cause an issue with people who use multiple feeds via feedburner.

On this line:
if (stripos($url, ‘flickr’) !== false) {
Instead of ‘flickr’ use:
‘feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SaviorMachine’ or
‘SaviorMachine’ etc
for you blog. All stripos does is check the URL for the keyword in quotes. The keyword you check can be a whole url if you want. Using ‘Feedburner’ isnt a good idea because as you say its not unique to the feed, so use another part or a longer part…
That make sense?

Jeffro, I’m currently turning SimpleLife into a full wordpress plugin, and the plugin/lifestream page were clashing. I’ve tidied up the code in the plugin, so there should be no further clashes in future for anybody with any instance of SimplePie.

Ok. Kieran. Do you have any sort of time table for the release of the FULL plugin? I’d like to write up a review of it but if you’re close to releasing the full version, I’d be happy to wait it out.

Meh - That didn’t take long. I am going back to the templated version. Although I really like this project you’re working on and LOVE the fact that you’ve given the option to limit the number of items and the frequency that they are pulled at, I do have a few things that broke the deal for me.
Why I dislike the plugin version:
1. Still no option to display actual Flickr photos
2. I’ve made customizations and like the flexibility of CSS over the ease of the color picker.
3. I don’t want ALL of my flickr photos showing up…just the ones that I’ve tagged to show up. I know that I can use one of the custom fields, but that sorta defeats the purpose.

Brian -
Thanks for the thoughts.
1) Flickr photos is coming. I was working on it late last night and broke the plugin. In an effort to get it out before a very busy weekend, I rolled back and left it to the next version.
2) You can still add hex colours to the boxes, they are text fields. What other customisations have you made, as I am looking to increase the flexibility of the styling.
3) I will add the option to show only specific tags - easy to do. Great idea.

Have you tested your plugin with Wordpress 2.3+? I was using Chris J. Davis’ Lifestream code for 2.2 but found it died with 2.3+. Now I’ve enabled yours, set all the settings, etc., etc., but I get the following error anytime I try to create / edit a post (or any admin page for that matter):
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /wp-content/plugins/simplelife/simplepie.inc:1) in /wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 391
Hope to see a fix for this soon, in the meantime I suppose I’ll backup my settings and disable it / make my own unless I can find a Wordpress 2.3+ compatible lifestream that actually works somewhere…
This one looked so promising

14. Steven
This plugin works on my installation of wordpress, which is 2.3.
Google says this error is something to do with spaces in php files, and so far you are the only person who has had this error - can you delete and reupload the files to see if the probem persists? It could also be that the files corrupted when you downloaded them?
I will investigate further after xmas.

Hi Kieran,
Looks like a great plugin! Unfortunately, I’m heaving the same “cannot modify header” problem that Steven reports. It shows up on both my entries and comments feeds when SimpleLife is activated, and goes away when deactivated.
I had the Feedsmith (FeedBurner) plugin activated originally; the message referenced a different file when I deactivated that plugin, but it was the same basic error.
Also, every time I would try to deactivate SimpleLife, I got the same error referencing pluggable.php. Every time, though, this one would go away after a reload.
I didn’t think to test out the symptom that Steven complained of (creating/editing posts), but I imagine we’re both having the same problem.

After looking at it a little more, I think my problem *might* be with my PHP version. When I actually put simplelife(); on one of my pages, every line but the last.fm entries displayed an error on line 146 of compat.php, which is within a PHP5 function (stripos).
Turns out my host (A Small Orange) has PHP4 and 5 installed concurrently, and to use the 5 engine, I’ve gotta rename the file in question to whatever.php5. Of course, renaming the plugin to simplelife.php5 means that WP can’t find it, and I don’t know what file is referencing it. But, at least that means the problem is on my end.

Alright, last post: I got PHP5 working on my end, and that cleared up the compat.php problems.
Unfortunately, the other issues are still there: RSS feed is broken, publishing a new post returns an error (though the post does go through), and, as it turns out, I think the Twitter feed field is prematurely truncated — my feed is http://twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline/2198761.rss, but the plugin only permits the first 50 characters.
Thanks for your work on this plugin, by the way! I don’t mean to fill up this post with complaints.

I am getting the same error as Dan Ray (Warning: strpos() [function.strpos]: Empty delimiter. in …location… compat.php on line 146.) and this may be related to php4/5 locations.
One caveat - I may not be calling the code correctly, as I am attempting to call the simplelife() php command on a “Page”, and the instructions say “a template file”, so maybe I need to try that route? (Seems odd, but I’ll give that a go).
Implementing here (hopefully):

One additional question, as it now appears that I have corrected my php errors (somehow)… is the plugin setup to run as a cron job or refresh itself in some way?
Also, whenever I am updating any template file/page file/plugin, I am now getting a php error from simplepie.
For example, after editing a template file:
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /homepages/9/d92507477/htdocs/kevindonahue/wp/wp-content/plugins/simplelife/simplepie.inc:1) in /homepages/9/d92507477/htdocs/kevindonahue/wp/wp-admin/theme-editor.php on line 55
WP still saves my updates to the db, but it is not able to load the page. If I go to my admin bookmark and verify the changes, they are showing as updated - so it is just impacting the refresh.
Suggestions?

I echo Dan’s complaint in re: Twitter. It doesn’t work correctly (mine truncates the “ss” on the end of “.rss”, thus giving the incorrect “.r” as the file extension.

Guys,
It appears that yes most of the errors people have received are due to PHP4/5. There are functions being used which are PHP5 only. I will get round to seeing if i can reimplement the offending functions with php4 compatible code sometime this week.
As for Twitter, I don’t use the service and so testing was pretty much a non option - i will correct this bug.
Thanks for the feedback!

Kevin - re comment 21.
I believe there may well be an issue with simplepie and the way it creates headers.
I will dig into this a bit more. The irritating thing is, it doesn’t do this everywhere all the time, so its difficult to pinpoint the exact issue.

Doug Stewart wrote:
A few suggestions, if I may:
1) Break the style information out into a separate .php file. Go ahead and include() it from within the plugin if you wish, but this will allow folks to customize things further without potentially messing with the core plugin.
2) Sanitize/namespace all your options. Use a prefix, like “simplelife_” or “sl_” or “wpsl_” or somesuch so that there’s less chance of your plugin clobbering or being interfered with by other plugins’ stored options.
3) Keep the ULs. Fight the div pushers!

Kieran wrote:
Doug -
1) Do you mean the css to style the list entries? Nearly all of this is editable in the options area. If not which bits exactly?
2) Yess… I did this with some but not all options and i will be renaming them as part of the next release over the next day or two. I have a feeling that this is whats causing a glitch with another plugin someone reported by email.
3) Yeah I’m all up for keeping UL’s. However i think i will let people choose outline styles, widths heights etc. So they can completely customise the way their lifestream looks.

Kieran:
1) I mean, what if someone wants to have borders the whole way around an entry? Or wants to style the time span differently per CSS class? Or wants to make the hover style have background-color set only, so that the favicons continue to display? Flexibility is always a good thing when it comes to styling and breaking the actual CSS out into a separate .inc.php Just Makes Sense to me.
2) Good to hear.
3) Also good to hear.
Another thought to consider: each get_option() call should be executed only once and then stored in a variable in order to reduce total DB call-outs. It ought to help with overall page load speed, if only slightly.

31. Alex - Several other people have reported this issue. If you google the error, it appears to be generated by an extra space at the beginning of a php file. I hope it is something to do with a corrupt file coding as it only affects 30% of people. I hope this will be fixed next release.

I am experiencing a couple of quirks, though. First…my Twitters don’t seem to be updating. and secondly, my Google Reader RSS feed is displaying with the de.licio.us icon instead of google.ico. I uploaded the file to the SimpleLife directory and also indicated the icon in the feed. One example is at 10:14 AM today - the “Striking writers threaten Oscars” link. That’s something I shared in Google Reader.
Any thoughts?

Unfortunately google reader links directly to the articles, as does del.ico.us. There is no way to check whichfeed each item comes from, only its link destination - as these could be from delicious or google reader the plugin defaults to delicious.
There isn’t really a fix for this… unless something like feedburner will run through your google reader feed.
Is your twitter feed not working at all? Are you sure you’ve copied the feed correctly? I haven’t had any other issues since Twitter since the last fix.

There is indeed a flaw with the twitter component of the code. I will address this ASAP. Meanwhile, you can get around this by using the extra feed for your twitter udates. You can even point the extra feed icon at the twitter icon supplied.

You’re the only person this is currently happening to so it is probably a mistake at your end…. but it could be one of a few things.
1) Are you using php 5?

Great plugin, thanks for the great work!
I’m running v1.2 and most of my items are showing up as class=”delicious” even though they are actually coming from other feeds (Twitter, Digg, Google Reader, etc). Last.fm is the only feed that is *not* showing up as class=”delicious”.
Also, it would be really great to be able to add additional feeds beyond just the 4 extras.
Thanks!

Twitter should show up correctly, i will check that if you can supply me your twitter feed.
As you will read in the comments above, and probably identified, the link dictates the class and google reader, delicious etc all link directly to articles. There is no way around this, delicious is a catch all.
Simplepie does not let you assign names when merging feeds, hence the match to check links to classes.

I played w/ your code a bit a did a print_r($item) in your loop… and saw that each item printed a data structure that looks like it *does* contain a reference to the feed that it came from.
Can you look at that and see if there is a way of getting to that feed value? Then you could check against that instead of the item itself to determine which feed it came from?
wrt twitter my feed is http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/3975231.rss
Thanks!

Hi!
Plugin looks very promising. But I got similar problem to Giles (comment no 44). After I uploaded I got huge list of simplelife code etc. on Plugins page.
Please look at screenshot
I’m using PHP5
I’ve tried disable all plugins but nothing happen.
I got just 7 plugins:
AddQuicktag

dDeviantArt
More fields
Search Regex
SimpleTags
WassUp
Any ideas?
Thank you in advanced.

I had the same problem of Giles (44). It was a line ending issue, for me. I opened the .php and .ini files up in my text editor and told it to convert to unix line endings. That seemed to fix the issue. Hope that works for you!
Also, if it helps shed any light, the first time (when it didn’t work), I wget-ed the zip straight to my server and extracted there. But, I SCPed the converted files up.

Hi Kieran, some suggestions:
- You can construct the twitter feed by: ‘http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/’.$username.’.rss’
- You should assign a CSS class to every element (ie, main ul) and provide a class to avoid collisions, or maybe use a table (hey, its tabular data after all
)
- In FF 2.0.0.11, the JS colorpicker appears in the top of the page
- You can add Pownce service (but I warn you, the pownce feed is horrible)
- Maybe the blog feed could be auto-configurable (by bloginfo(’rss_url’); )
Thanks

I’m currently using the plugin here - http://creeva.com/life-stream/
have you considered a method for databasing the streams locally and long term - so you have historical data going back over a longer period of time - also this would definetly speed up the script IMO. I haven’t dugg too far into the script but it would seem that it polls the RSS feed everytime the script is loaded

1) I will look at the twitter feed construction - I didn’t realise there was a feed with usernames available (not using twitter myself!).
2) I’m not sure what you mean - every element has a class (tables meh!)
3) Yes, FF does appear to behave strangely, waiting for a fix for that.
4) We are limited to 15 feeds in total, so i am going to try and avoid pownce and let people use the extra feeds up if they want to include it.
5) The reason I’ve constructed the blog feed like it is, is because some people would rather use a different blog, some use wordpress for just important updates etc - this gives more flexibility - however, i do like the idea of an overiding “Use this blogs feed” option…
Creeva
As you will probably have seen above there are vague ideas of databasing up the entries, but it seems like overkill - i have already mentioned in these comments its quite unlikely that I’ll do it. The effort involved would be large and it is beyond the scope of the plugin.
That said, the plugin polls the feeds as frequently as you set under the cache. The cache determines how often to refresh. The default is ten minutes.

Hello,
I have been looking for this plugin for the longest time. I am running Wordpress 2.3 on a PHP5 ‘enabled’ server, so it all requires me to declare php as php5.
But when I do that it doesn’t appear anywhere on the plugin list. Is there a native php4 version of this plugin?
That would be just awesome.

Kieran - the widget doesn’t work either.
* What is SimplePie() supposed to return? The issue is certainly something in the simplepie.inc file…
I don’t think SimplePie() is returning the right value [at the “$feed = new SimplePie()” line in simplelife.php]. I checked the variables prior to that function call… the array has the right values and the cache dir and refresh timer values are valid.
* If I comment out the “$this->init();” (around line 670 in simplepie.inc), then the function returns a value and loads the webpage — but, of course, not with any value at that point. If I uncomment that line, I get the blank page… I’m not capable of tracing through the code very effectively, but hopefully this will be of some use in pinpointing the issue.
Additional info on things I checked up to this point:
* I added a cache check to the code (like simplepie for wp) and verified that the cache exists and is writable. I don’t see anything in the cache, but I attribute that to the fact that I don’t get far along in the simplelife code to write to cache.
* I don’t know how much PHP memory is needed, but I increased the size to 32M
Any insight you can provide would be appreciated.

Kieren, the Blank Page issue I was seeing was indeed related to SimplePie. The issue is discussed on their forums at http://simplepie.org/support/viewtopic.php?id=1334
I overwrote the SimplePie.inc with the latest release (v1.1, available at http://simplepie.org/downloads/) and things are working as expected now. v1.1 has been out for a few weeks now so maybe it would be worth updating in your SimpleLife 1.3 release.
Thanks for your efforts.

As described in the FAQ, the plugin description fields need their unix line breaks fixed, you can do this by choosing to edit the plugin and saving it without changes - wordpress converts the linebreaks on save.
As for the CSS, i suggest !important for each declaraion, but if you have defined your own CSS I’m afraid I can’t help - i can only support what I have written, extra CSS could be failing for 100 different reasons!

I couldn’t understand was getting everything with the delicious class for everything else until I looked at the code where it defaults to that.
I created a new class for default and now it looks better but I still cannot make the if functionality work.

Ok, I think I’ve figured out what the problem is.
You’re using this statement
if (stripos($url, substr(get_option('simple_feed1'), 5,9)) !== false) {$class = 'simple_feed1';
}
To match a link provided by my feed to the domain name of the feed itself.
Unfortunately, I use feedburner who’s addresses are in the form of http://feeds.feedburner.com/Db0
Thus, when looking for the 5th to 9th character you just get “//fe” which is not included in the actual url link of any single entry of the feed.
So this plugin not compatible with feedburner. Not compaining mind you, just something to warn of
I’ll try to work around this now by hacking

Kieran wrote:
Sorry, I should have put that in the fact, I’m sure it was mentioned in the comments above - feedburner causes problems.
Feedburner feeds act like google reader and del.ico.us feeds. The only way to make them behave otherwise is to hardcode the string you want to match, ie match the true target rather than the feed source.
I could get round this by adding an option to allow people to add a keyword, so for a feedburner feed they could add an optional keyword or string from the target. However, this isn’t reliable if the feedburner feed targets different sites for example, and it further increases the complexity of this “simple” plugin!
Let me know how you fare!

db0 wrote:
Hmm, for feedburner perhaps you can ask the alias of the feed instead of the whole url (i.e. in feeds.feedburner.com/db0 the alias is db0) This can act as the keyword which you append to the feedburner address to get the feeed.
Google reader also has a unique ID which you can use as a keyword instead of the whole feed. In a Reader shared items feed, the url is as such http://www.google.com/reader/shared/13245328054084406047 and the ID is the bolded part.
This can be your unique ID.
And the same for twitter: http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/7105242.rss
I hope these might point you to the right direction. I’m not a php coder but I’ll attempt to see if I can figure something out as well
For the moment mine looks good but I’m really looking to expand it more with YouTube, Digg, Wikipedia etc.

Replace your variable setting and if statements with this
$feedurl = $item->get_feed()->subscribe_url();
if ($feedurl == $ff) {$class = 'flickr';}
if ($feedurl == $df) {$class = 'delicious';}
if ($feedurl == $bf) {$class = 'blog';}
if ($feedurl == $tf) {$class = 'twitter';}
if ($feedurl == $lf) {$class = 'last.fm';}
if ($feedurl == $fbf) {$class = 'facebook';}

if ($feedurl == $f2) {$class = 'simple_feed2';}
if ($feedurl == $f3) {$class = 'simple_feed3';}
if ($feedurl == $f4) {$class = 'simple_feed4';}
This is a 100% comparison as it checks the original url the person put in with the feed’s url.
With this you can use feedburner, google reader and delicious without losing formatting and without hacking the plugin code.
Now, gimme more options!!!
