"Recent discussion" page becomes blank.

Prosper

"Recent discussion" page becomes blank when "Show RSS feed in side panel" is selected from the dashboard setting.
Please I need assistance.

Thanks a lot for the feedback! Are you running Vanilla 2.1? It is working fine on 2.2, so if yes, it might be a compatibility problem.

when you get a blank page. you can generally find the true cause of the problem
by troubleshooting with

Set

$Configuration['Debug'] = TRUE;

in your conf/config.php to reveal full error messages. Remember to remove it when you are done.

posting your error message might help mtschirs.

perhaps you have a parser error (entity not found) when the simplecache is being loaded by the simplexml_load_file()

but maybe you get a different message when you troubleshoot.

@mtschirs

the problem in vanilla 2.1

SimpleRSS/views/modules/simplerss.php

// problem in 2.1 PanelHeading function doesn't exist.

I suppose users could comment out around line 36

and change

echo PanelHeading($Title);

to

        // echo PanelHeading($Title);
                echo "<h4>";
                echo $Title;
                echo "</h4>";

or add the PanelHeading function to 2.1

Many thanks @peregrine! You where right both with panelHeading and the parser throwing a warning. I uploaded a new version, tested on Vanilla 2.1. Does it fix your problem, @Prosper?

This addon doesn't create an RSS page. It shows an RSS feed in the panel.
