I am having the same issues as this thread

http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/84583/

I am trying to do something like this

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="merchants" sort="desc"}

<h1>{title}</h1>

{description}

{direct_link}<br>
{exp:magpie url="{rss}" limit="10" refresh="720"}
<ul>
{magpie:items}
<li><a >{title}</a>{magpie:description}</li>


{/magpie:items}
</ul>
{/exp:magpie} 
{featured}
{/exp:weblog:entries}[/quote]

Where RSS is defined in a weblog field.

I have hardcoded the magpie rss url into the template and it works fine… it just won’t pull the url from the entry.

I think you are running into a parse order issue here. You could try embedding the magpie tag into an external subtemplate, passing the rss parameter to it:

{embed=my_includes/magpie rss="{rss}"}

In your embed you’d then use {embed:rss} to reference the URL.

On second thought, plugins are meant to be nested, so this is not the issue here. Just to clarify.

actually I think I found it out. The auto hyperlink was enabled, and as such it would use the rss url… as soon as I disabled that it worked.

It would be nice if it could work so I could autolink, but I can work around that

Ah, that would explain what you are seeing, too, yes. So, does that solve your issue?

Yep I am good… Maybe a feature request for Magpie would be to parse the http so that autolink could stay enabled

Thanks a lot, closing this one 😊
