Editing How to (section)

==HOW TO: Website Integration==
===Make the latest additions to your archive appear on your main website===
The contents of the "latest" page - /perl/latest - can be included via a cron tab using wget and a server side include or using something like PHP's command to do:
 readfile( "http://eprints.foo.org/perl/latest?mainonly=yes" );
The "mainonly=yes" flag is a hack which supresses the template of any eprints page in the /perl/ area so that it can be included, but it is most useful for "latest".

WARNING: If you have a script which imports 1000 records in one night then latest isn't currently bright enough to truncate the list so your homepage could get kinda messy.

===RSS into HTML===
If you want to turn any search into a dynamically generated list of references with a link back to the EPrints page, then use this.  This solution uses PHP.  So, you will need PHP enabled on the server.

'''Dependency:''' This code depends on [http://magpierss.sourceforge.net/ MagpieRSS].

'''Original Context:''' It was developed for use in a [http://www.terminalfour.com/ Terminal4 'SiteManager'] template, but can be used with almost no modification.

The code implements local caching of the generated HTML in a text file which is never more than an hour old, unless there is a problem with the server whereupon the last good cached version is used.
