Feeds Stopped working

[garvinhicking]

Hi!

Hm, your rss.php file seems to be broken. Did you manually modify that file?

What PHP version is running on your server, do you have a phpinfo() output? Which Serendipity version are you using?

rss.php does not seem to catch the proper variables. Try to fetch the rss.php file from the s9y release archive and see if overwriting it helps?

Regards,
Garvin

hi garvin, i finally got round to working on this. so in answer to your questions:

Hm, your rss.php file seems to be broken. Did you manually modify that file?

nope

What PHP version is running on your server, do you have a phpinfo() output? Which Serendipity version are you using?

Serendipity 1.0 and PHP 4.3.10

rss.php does not seem to catch the proper variables. Try to fetch the rss.php file from the s9y release archive and see if overwriting it helps?

Hi!

I think it might be the case that your templates/default/ directory has no "feed*.tpl" files in it? Those files are supplied with serendipity 1.0, so make sure you uploaded those files!

Hi!

Plesae make sure you properly uploaded those *.tpl files! They are missing a header and content, as it seems.

Make sure those files exactly look like the ones contained in the serendipity release zip/tgz.

Hi!

Hm, that URL doesn't work for me right now?

Apologies if I'm hijacking a thread inappropriately here, but I'm seeing strange behaviour in my RSS feed when using Thunderbird 1.0.6 as the reader.

There are two feed locations :-

http://feeds.feedburner.com/DougsOracleBlog

(which I've just checked references the following url)

http://oracledoug.com/serendipity/index ... index.rss2

I use the feedburner URL for my own Thunderbird feed and everything appears to work correctly. A friend was using the direct feed and has been missing posts. I know that seems bizarre because feedburner is accessing the same url and hasn't missed posts, but that's what's happening.

If I access the latter URL in a browser window, everything is present. If I add it as a new subscription to Thunderbird, I can't see the most recent two entries (Blog Issues and Log Buffer #4).

Has anyone else come across this behaviour with Thunderbird?

Cheers,

Doug

Hi!

Sadly I now not much about Thunderbird RSS. But s9y is using "Conditional GET" for fetching the most up to date feeds, and if Thunderbird uses that as well, its implementation might creat problems?

You can disable the conditional get by using an URL like:

http://oracledoug.com/serendipity/rss.p ... cache=true

which will then always fetch 15 feeds, no matter what cache/conditional HTTP request is performed...?

Best regards,
Garvin

Garvin,

I'll give that a try. Thanks,

Doug
