[SOLUTION] Looking for a way to count Magpie plugin items for use with jQuery Show/Hide

    The Magpie plugin is great and so very easy to use. I’d like to dress up the output a bit and am trying to use jQuery to Show/Hide the Item’s Summary. So basically when the template loads there will be a list of the 10 most recent titles from a given RSS feed. Clicking on the titles will Show/Hide/Toggle the Summary tag which is initially hidden.

    That requires that each Item has an unique ID that I can target when clicking the Title. If this were a regular weblog:entries tag I would just use {entry_id}.

    Is anyone doing this using Magpie or another RSS parser in EE templates?

    not sure, but maybe id=“entry{count}”

    also, perhaps you could use the jQuery next() method without any id. Something like:

    $(document).ready(function(){            
    $('.summary').hide();
    $('.title').click(function() {
        $(this).next().toggle();
           });
     });

    Thanks iseem!!

    Your suggestion of using the next() function put me in the right direction. Google helped with the rest!!

    For those interested in the solution, here’s the full code that works. No attention paid to CSS styling yet except the pointer.

    NOTE: You’ll obviously have to change the path to your jQuery file and replace the URL of the feed you want to use.

    <title>RSS Slider Test</title>
    <meta name="generator" content="BBEdit 8.7" />

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('.items li p').hide();
    $(".items li h3").click(function() {
        $(this).next("p").slideToggle();
    });
});

<style type="text/css">
.items h3 { cursor:pointer; }
</style> 

</head>
<body>

{exp:magpie url="http://feeds.feedburner.com/BareFeetBlog" limit="10" refresh="720"}
<ul>
<div class="items">
{items}
<li><h3>{title}</h3><p>{description}</li><br />
{/items}<br />
</div><br />
</ul><br />
{/exp:magpie}</p>

<p></body><br />
</html>
