RSS Feed Importer

[Mark]

open details_compile_details.php

find:
$TMPL['rss_desc'] = strip_tags($item['description']);

replace with:

$TMPL['rss_desc'] = substr(strip_tags($item['description']),0,100);
that should do it

I installed this plugin through Admin Panel but I don't see it on my top site. I log in my fake account and I don't see it on the user control panel.
How do I set this up?

Did you put your rss url into edit account? Sounds like you did not

Have I dreamt it or can you choose how many posts to show for the feed? Where in such case?

This was asked and answered on page 1 of this very thread.

When I use this plugin on my new list I get two strang occurences that have not happened before:

1) The feed-cell is not full-width as before on other lists
2) The date is screwed is says 1 of jan 1970 on all feeds listed....
Is this a plugin issue or computer hickup?

Hmm something not right indeed, also not fetching description.
Could you pm me your ftp info? then i can try out a few things and troubleshoot.

width is so small because it miss the description i guess.

Found the solution - kind of. The RSS-feed I first tried was a blogspot -blog. Then I tried a wordpress-rss (from my personal blog) which had worked with other lists. And now it worked. So apprently it is an platform-issue. Dunno where the reason is behind this though. Working is /rss. NOT working is /feeds. Maybe something to look into if you believe it is pluginrelated.

Maybe the rss reader is just outdated. We will give it a test
Could you pm me your blogspot feed url? so i can test it out later on and have a reference feed

Change this magpierss/rss_parse.inc on line 153

Fix:
 
Change Line 153 from:
list($ns, $el) = split( ':', $element, 2);
To:
list($ns, $el) = explode( ':', $element, 2);

 

[Basti]

Ah good spot, ill apply the fix tomorrow to the zip, ty

 

[legendz]

Has the .zip been updated?

 

[Basti]

Ah actually, has nothing to do with the zip lol..stupid me.
Do as vidal said, the change will go into 1.0 as well

Ok.

A small update to go with the latest patch for 1.0. Nothing major, but will correct a few design issues who came up after the patch. A simple overwrite ( upload via admin plugin manager is enough )

3. admin_edit_fields.php
4. admin_edit_process_form.php
5. admin_edit_update_data.php
6. delete.php
7. details_compile_details.php
8. index.htm
9. info.php
10. install.php
11. rss_field.html

14. user_cp_profile_points.php
15. usercp_edit_build_form.php
16. usercp_edit_fields.php
17. usercp_edit_process_form.php
18. usercp_edit_update_data.php

That file is no longer. Its from before we switched from "stats" to "details". At that point also the php file hooks naming changed. It is the details_compile_details.php
