Upgraded 0.9 to 0.91 RSS feed not working

[Andyman77]

Hiya,

Not sure how to fix this one. I have re-uploaded the RSS.php file but I still cannot get the feed to work. I have tested it in FF 1.5 (now released BTW) Opera and I don't get any feed. Though in FF & Opera both show the RSS feed icon in the address bar.

this is the feed URL :
http://www.andyramblings.co.uk/index.ph ... index.rss2

going to the above link in Firefox you should get this error ?

XML Parsing Error: no element found
Location: http://www.andyramblings.co.uk/index.ph ... index.rss2
Line Number 1, Column 1:
^

any help would be nice.

Many thanks,

Andy

By calling your feed via "rss.php?version=2.0" I get this:

Code: Select all

XML Parsing Error: junk after document element
Location: http://www.andyramblings.co.uk/rss.php?version=2.0
Line Number 2, Column 1:<b>Warning</b>:  Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /mounted-storage/home7/sub001/sc13854-AEQJ/www/se/plugins/serendipity_event_phpopentracker/serendipity_event_phpopentracker.php:154) in <b>/mounted-storage/home7/sub001/sc13854-AEQJ/www/se/rss.php</b> on line <b>60</b><br />
^

So inside your phpopentracker plugin there is output where it doesn't belong. Go to that line and remove the print() call in the phpopentracker plugin.

I've just committed a fix for this to CVS, but it might take some time for you to get updated.

Again Garvin you have fixed the problem

Just one other question with the RSS feeds, how does one limit the number of lines that the RSS feeds out?
Say I don't want the whole entry to be visible on the RSS feed but say the firts paragraph or the first X number of lines...

You can't (easily). That is why we have a entry body/extended distinction. The whole entry body is always shown.

With Serendipity 1.0 though you can use Smarty to edit the look of your RSS Feed(s), and also use something like {$entry.body|substr:0:255} if you want. (I don't know the actual syntax though, but that's within the Smarty documentation).

Best regards,

Many thanks,

Will be looking forward to Version 1 then... any timeline for when it may be out ?

[garvinhicking]

The current snapshots are very stable and already contain this functionality

A final 1.0 release will be out soon. Maybe end of January. This is dependant on http://www.s9y.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3668 though
