FeedReader extension: comments and questions

iconsam

The feed was working great. But once it builds the cache, I don't think that it can retreive it properly. I keep getting the "feed is sleeping" error message.

I have a stupid question : Only the registered users (members) can see the feed, once logged. How could I make the feed appear even for the simple first-time visitors ? Thanks. D.

Yeah, I do get the "feed is sleeping" after a while. Its okay again once you delete the files in the cache.

folletto

I noted some problems on the caching routine... thanks for your details.

@folletto - I get the same problem with the cache. Is there a solution to this?

LoOkOuT

fyi ditto

folletto

I'm sorry, not yet.
If someone wants to edit the package and send in a new one with the solution, I will be glad to upload it. At this time I'm in crunch mode until january - at least - and I don't have time to develop the extension anymore.

Sorry.

folletto

...I'm quite there at least with a rock solid (I hope) caching extension I've written and some bug fixes. I hope to put up the new release asap.

yeeehaaaa, can't wait. Thanks for this great extension, folletto.

What if I want to display (small) images from my feed in the sidebar as well? I'm using a feed from eBay that has pics of the items for sale, see http://feeds.feedburner.com/vintage_trainers_ebay for this. No need to cache the images though I guess?

D'oh, just spotted that $description is commented out throughout. However, the descriptions are not appearing in the unordered list, they're just spat out at the end of it! Is there an update to the extension due soon? I'll do some hacking in the meantime :)

love this extension though i can't get more than one feed to appear for some reason i.e. 5 items from one feed appear, but no other feeds i program in do

folletto

Ok, I've got some thime this w/e. I'll also update for the vulnerability.
Check back on Monday.

hey man, thanks for this. however i just upgraded to it & get this error now whenever i activate the extension. it's also a full screen error - i.e. i can't see the forum at all, just this line at the top : Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mb_strtolower() in /home/content/D/e/a/Deadsy/html/forum/extensions/FeedReader/XMLPlainParser.class.inc on line 209 lemme know your thoughts !

folletto

...that function was already there, the XMLPlainParser is still the same... and that function is required to handle UTF-8 charsets. I could make maybe a fallback routine, but still it's strange that it worked before...

Hi! I'm using the feedreader extension, and somehow the href is being left out of the a tag in the list of items, so the links to the items do not work; ... <li><a >Beginers Luck</a></li> ... Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

ggaudrea

Neeevermind! The RSS feed had a guid but no link node.
