MagpieRss = MagpieFeeds ?

78__88 · November 2016

Hi, is this the same plugin ?

78__88 · November 2016

I installed this plugin, I enabled it, but whatever URL I give it, I always get the error : The Feed URL you supplied is not an RSS stream
Example:

http://www.feedforall.com/sample.xml

Yes it is but with some modifications because the author never came back.

Please try this feed, which I know works

http://feeds.feedburner.com/OceanFacts

It's probably a problem with PHP settings.

It's using file_get_contents to get the contents of the feed supplied, because cURL gave some problems with https. Apparently file_get_contents can give problems too.

Can you change

    public function getRSS($Url)
            {
        $source=file_get_contents($Url);
        $magpierss=new MagpieRss($source);
        return $magpierss;
            }

to

    public function getRSS($Url)
            {
        $source=fetch_rss($Url);
        $magpierss=new MagpieRss($source);
        return $magpierss;
            }

in class.magpierss.php?

That should solve your problem.

Well, to me, RSS is just XML with hardcoded fields, right ? like title, item, blabla...
Yep I tried this exact feed : http://feeds.feedburner.com/OceanFacts (which is XML, check the source) and it's not working (same error message)

Are you using pretty URL ?

Caylus · November 2016

Could you replace

                $RSSData = $this->getRSS($FeedURL);

on line 149 with:

And try to add a feed? You should get a whole lot of text.

if not, apparently it can't read files outside your server. I'm not sure why feed_Discussions can and this plugin can't.

I just tried the original version that I got to work on one of my installs with the link 78 provided and it works. Try this one and report. Download the newest version of MagpieRss..
