Hi,
I'm trying to display a list of the most recent wordpress posts on my main website. I can find a php code to do this, but it assumes the wp files are at the document root, which they are not - they are in a database on the same server, but not under the same document root. I don't know how to specify the correct path, I don't even know if it is possible.
Could anyone help, please?
This is the code
<ul>
<?php require($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/document-root/etc/etc/wp-load.php'); query_posts('showposts=3'); if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<li> <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<span>Posted on <?php the_time('l jS F, Y') ?></span><br />
<?php the_excerpt(); ?> </li>
<?php endwhile; else: echo "no posts"; endif; ?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
</ul>
Document root: /webspace/httpdocs/mywebsite/
Database: /webspace/siteapplications/0000/
File I need the path to: /webspace/siteapplications/0000/htdocs/wp-load.php
After a lot of searching it looks to me that I might need to specify the path in the form of /var/www/ but I still don't know how to change the <?php require($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']
Am I going the right direction, or completely lost, please?
Thanks a million...
T.

This is the documentation that I used to do it for my own sites:
[codex.wordpress.org...]
In particular I used the Grab The Header, The Loop and Examples sections.

Here is code I wrote a long long time ago to do just that. Warning, it isn't great code, but it still seems to work just fine:
require('wp-blog-header.php');
function getHeadlines() {
get_currentuserinfo();
$i = 0; if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() && $i < 4 ) : the_post();
echo "<a href='";
the_permalink();
echo "'>";
the_title();
echo "</a> - ";
$excerpt = get_the_excerpt();
$pos = strpos($excerpt,".");
if( $pos !== false ) {
$excerpt = substr($excerpt,0,$pos + 1);
}
if (strlen($excerpt) > 80) {
$excerpt = substr($excerpt,0,80);
}
echo $excerpt;
echo "<a href='";
the_permalink();
echo "'>[more]</a><br/><br/>";
$i++; endwhile; endif;
}
