Accessing Blog Content Elsewhere

edival

Hi,

I have an issue with the blog module which I've installed in my Fuel project. The blog module works beautifully on the front-end and the back end.

I'm now trying to put the most recent post on my homepage, however, I keep getting the following error message when calling $this->get_recent_posts(1);
A PHP Error was encountered<br /> Severity: Warning<br /> Message: print_r(): Couldn't fetch mysqli_result<br /> Filename: _layouts/home.php (my view)<br /> Line Number: 58

It repeats this warning about 100 times, then appears to run out of memory like it's stuck in some kind of loop.
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 2147483648 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 1065357312 bytes) in C:\xampp\htdocs\nordegg\fuel\application\views_layouts\home.php on line 58

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Chris.

It's probably calling the __toString() method on a model record which will have recursion since it has a reference to the $CI object within it.

Is there a better way to do this then?
This is all that I'm doing right now:
<?php $posts = $this->fuel->blog->get_recent_posts(); ?><br /> <?php print_r($posts); $this->db->debug_query(); ?>

I couldn't find anything in the docs to pull the most recent blog posts from elsewhere on the site, nor any how-to's about doing that.

Since $posts is an array you can do the following:

<?php $posts = $this->fuel->blog->get_recent_posts(); ?><br />
<?php foreach ($posts as $post) :
echo "<pre>\n";
print_r($post->values());
echo "</pre>\n";
 endforeach; ?>

Also, the $this->db->debug_query(); may not return what you want. I'd recommend the following after you run the query:

CI()->blog_posts_model->debug_query();

Interesting. That helps a lot. Thank you
It's been a while since I worked in Fuel so just need to refresh my mind. I work in CI a lot, but Fuel is just different enough to forget the important parts
