Hi to the community of Serendipity,
I am sorry if the question sounds stupid but I am a beginner and I need some help to display RSS Feeds.
Please see some details of the configuration:
Use RSS-Link? --> Yes
RSS display element --> "title"
Escape HTML output --> No
Address:
http://www.lequipe.fr/Xml/Cyclisme/Titres/actu_rss.xml
Charset: UF-8
type of feed --> RSS
I hope I gave enough details.
It is not working and shows the message:
Error on line 149 of /home.10.26/untourde/www/Blog/bundled-libs/Onyx/RSS.php: File has an XML error (not well-formed (invalid token) at line
my blog is
http://untourdevelo.com/Blog
can someone help me to fix my problem with the RSS feed.
Thank you very much in advance.
ps: you will also probably notice a problem with Google map because IO would like to show a google map as well on my blog

As far as I can tell (read: I'd wait for Garvin to confirm it), the feed from L'Equipe you're trying to import isn't valid and can therefore not be displayed. So it's not an error in your blog but in L'Equipe's feed.

I tried with:
http://www.sport24.com/rssfeeds/sport24-accueil.xml
it works better because there is no error message but now I have only the date of the news but nothing else.
i suppose it is something related to the date and other configration...
thank you for your help

Hi!
YellowLED is right; the first feed simply is not XML-valid.
The second one looks okay, and basically should show up. I'm wondering if I inspect the HTML sourcecode I see multiple (empty) links that partially point to
http://www.sport24.com/ but some to
http://www.cyclisme-roltiss-over.com or fluxrss.fr -- but those links are not contained inside the RSS feed
http://www.sport24.com/rssfeeds/sport24-accueil.xml
-- could it be you configured the plugin differently now?
The plugin caches its output, so you might need to delete the templates_c/*remoterss*.* files when you made a configuration change so that it can update properly?
Regards,
Garvin

Thank you both of you for your advice,
I have put a new address:
http://fluxrss.fr/agregateur/cyclisme.rss
which is a combination of different rss feed.
RSS display element is still "title"
type of feed: RSS
target of link: _blank
maybe there is a problem with the configuration.
otherwise I don't know how to delete the the templates_c/*remoterss*.* files . serendipity is not installed on my computer, i am only using it as admin.
thank you in advance for your help.

Hi!
It might be that there's a bug in the plugin. You're using an older version of s9y, can you please use the recent 1.2.1 release?
You can delete files in templates_c by using your FTP client/connection.

Garvin

Hi,
thank you, it is possible that there is a problem in the plugin.
s9y is not installed on my computer but on the computer of the webdesigner who created the original website untourdevelo.com .
i don't know but is it possible for me to install the software as well? is there a posibility of conflict if two people have got the software installed for the same blog? sorry if the question sounds stupid but my knowledge on s9y is limited.
Regards
Loic

Hi!
You don't need to install it on your computer! You will need to install the installation at the server of where serendipity is installed through FTP; if you have no FTP account to that place, you will need to ask your webdesigner to delete the mentioned files for you and upgrade Serendipity to a recent version.
HTH,
Garvin

Hi,
I will ask the webdesigner if he can do the required changes. can I come back to you if I still have problems?
I also some things I would like to set on my page (weather, images on the main page with a link to an article or article, and in the future a google map) but I try to solve problems one by one.
thank you very much for all your help

Sure, that's what we're here for.
