#1 A Few Updates

In cases where your site uses clean urls, and your script exists in a directory outside of the Drupal directory, relative links in your view may not be formatted properly. Relative links passed through Drupal's url() function will include the path to the directory your script exists in (e.g. "node/99" will link to "/path/to/script/node/99") which likely will not work properly.

Here is an updated version of the above script to run a search and replace on such links:

<?php
// If Drupal is installed in a subdirectory under DOCUMENT_ROOT, specify it
// here in the form /path/to/drupal/
define('DRUPAL_SUBDIR','/content/');

// Change to Drupal root directory
chdir($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"].DRUPAL_SUBDIR);

// Turn on error reporting during development (turn off for production sites)
// error_reporting(E_ALL);

// Bootstrap Drupal

require_once './includes/bootstrap.inc';
drupal_bootstrap(DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_FULL);

// Views 2 output via views_embed_view()
$rawfeed = views_embed_view('recent_blog_posts');

// Replace relative links which may be broken by calls to url()
$search = "href=\"{$base_path}";
$replace = "href=\"{$base_root}".DRUPAL_SUBDIR;
print str_ireplace($search,$replace,$rawfeed);

// To fetch nodes without views, see use something like:
// $results = db_query('select nid from node where type="story"');
// while ($result = db_fetch_object($results)) {
//   $node = node_load($result->nid);
//   echo "Debug (node): <pre>";print_r($node);echo "</pre>";
// }
?>
