This is giving me a blank page when trying to install it.

 

[Mark]

I have posted an updated ZIP, give it a try and let me know if the issue is resolved.

Would it be possible to to have the users add their RSS feed at sign-up?

This is especially useful for top blog lists.

 

[Mark]

sure its possible, if you know just a little PHP/HTML. In an effort to keep the signup form fast however this plugin will remain a part of the user control panel. We really want to encourage users to login to "enhance" their listing, this will become more prevalent as more of these types of plugins are created. That said, if you really want a specific feature/behavior we can provide a quote for custom implementation.

Great product. I have an issue though. Strange charts

N�R VOKSNE BLOGGERE SOM ER ANSATT P� ET BLOGGSTED MOBBER ANDRE BLOGGERE.

Do you know how to solve the odd charts when I use the RSS plugin ?

 

[Mark]

Sure, I'll have a look at this over the weekend and should be able to get a resolution fairly easy.

 

[Mark]

Alright the fix is now up, you can download and reinstall the updated plugin and your all set.

That date is coming from your servers PHP configuration, I believe you need to use the setlocal function: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.setlocale.phpbut I am not familiar with this.

Some other options:

you can reformat the date by editing /plugins/RSSImporter/stats_compile_stats.php

$TMPL['rss_pubDate'] = date("l jS \of F Y h:i:s A",$item['date_timestamp']);

You can use numeric options found here: http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

OR you can use the string replace function like so:

find:

$TMPL['rss_pubDate'] = date("l jS \of F Y h:i:s A",$item['date_timestamp']);

add this after:

$TMPL['rss_pubDate'] = str_replace("Saturday","Lørdag",$TMPL['rss_pubDate']);
$TMPL['rss_pubDate'] = str_replace("Sunday","Something",$TMPL['rss_pubDate']);
$TMPL['rss_pubDate'] = str_replace("Monday","Something",$TMPL['rss_pubDate']);

Thank you very much.

How do you limit the feed to let say 5?

 

[Mark]

is stats_compile_stats.php again find:

    foreach ($rss->items as $item) {

add this after:

$feed_i++;
if($feed_i++ < 7){

then find:

    $TMPL['rss_content'] .= $this->do_plugin_skin('./plugins/RssImporter','rssitems');

add this after:

}

that should do it.

If you use this plugin and updated to VisioList 0.9 it is required to reupload this plugin ( dont delete, just reupload ). This is because of the change on the statistics page.

Hi,

the plugin work not for me, it shows no rss feed at the stats page.

I have download the plugin, unzip the archive and upload to the plugin folder on the server.
Then i have use the install button, i have insert a rss adress in the member area.

Can anyone help me, Thx?

 

[Basti]

There is an error on the naming of one the files, open up the folder in your ftp, the file "details_compile_stats.php" should be named "details_compile_details.php" ( without quotes )

Ill update the plugin later today

 

[h3rb]

Thx it works,

now i have the Problem, the rss feed is over the disqus plugin, can i change this and where can i change the {$stats_before_stats}?

 

[Mark]

you can edit the details_compile_details.php file:

find:

$TMPL['stats_before_stats'] .= "<h2>{$LNG['rssimporter_stats_news']}</h2>{$TMPL['rss_content']}";

change to:

$TMPL['rssfeeds'] = "<h2>{$LNG['rssimporter_stats_news']}</h2>{$TMPL['rss_content']}";

then in your details template add {$rssfeeds} where you would like them to display.


You should also be able to do this without modifying the template and simply tweak the CSS, I have never witnessed the feeds overlapping disqus so I am not sure what specifically needs to be changed.

hope that get you going in the right direction.

I have also updated the plugin zip in post 1 to reflect the filename change.

 

[h3rb]

Thx it works fine

 

[proxydesign]

May I ask how I can limit the text that shows in the RSS, to ex: 100 characters?

Thank you
