RSS Feed problems

New Member Joined: Jun 07, 2008 Posts: 12

first of all
hi all and sorry for my bad english
i hope i can explain it right

if always wanted RSS Feeds on my site, but in the beginning of my nuke time (by now more then 5 years) i dont understand how.
in the last two years i learnd a many about nuke itself, coding and how i can write a module ore even RSS Feeds

so, finally after many many hours i got an few rss feeders on my site
www.destros-world.de/backend.php
www.destros-world.de/backend_ie7.php

www.destros-world.de/backendraven.php*
www.destros-world.de/backendraven_ie7.php*

www.destros-world.de/contentfeed3.php
www.destros-world.de/downfeed.php
www.destros-world.de/rssforum.php
(i current worked on the IE version for the other 3)
all of these backends are Validated

*a huge thanks and big hug to you raven for your nuke version, the backend.php are the only one that i found with a working charset for the description

but forward whit my problem

in all of my backends (for FF) i must delete the code

Code:

echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"ISO-8859-1\"?>\n\n";

and set the header to

Code:

header('Content-Type: application/xml;charset=iso-8859-1');

for IE its a little bit complicated (what a miracle Razz

)

then i got the special character like äüö
but thats not "that" problem

the major problem of all these files are, that no other site can get my news

i searched a long time in this forum and found a few topics with "hints" about a hack in the DOS code form sentinel ore a modified header text but nothing worked (yes i have sentinel)

the other thing is, i got a second site, same nuke version also with sentinel (both with the current version)

on this site
i had to change nothing and it worked, i dont know why o_O

and from this site i can get the news from the backends

seriously, i'm stuck on this error for a really long time
i hope you can help me Crying or Very sad

Feeds have always been a nightmare in *nuke, right up to the last release of Ravennuke. Kguske has vastly improved the feed process starting with Ravennuke 2.20. If you want feeds to work, get that. It really is a vast improvement.

I still can't get my news or forum feeds to show up on my iGoogle page though. Sad

They validate ok.

Gremmie,

Have you tried running them through feedburner.com? Are you using ShortLinks? I don't remember having problems with iGoogle, but I haven't tried in a while.

destro,

Susann (a moderator on this site) helped us test nukeFEED using Deutsch. Using nukeFEED, you can generate many different types of feeds in all popular formats for most content types at various levels.

No on feedburner. I just clicked the little button on the feeds module to add the link to Google. I never use shortlinks. The link works in google's feed reader, it just never shows up on my iGoogle page.

Strange. Could the iGoogle IP be blocked?

destro,

I'm not sure what other site you're referring to, but nukeFEED supports UTF8 conversion from ISO-8859-1. If you're using backendxxx.php files, it probably doesn't support that. If you're using RavenNuke, nukeFEED is already built in as the Feeds module.

the other site is also php-nuke so as my site
but on this site i can get the news from the backend and all of the other backends that i postet

i can get the news in the YA module and rss modules like this
http://www.destros-world.de/modules.php?name=rssReader
(Rentner Clan)

Maybe that's because the YA module uses RSS 0.91, and the backend also uses RSS 0.91. You can view any nukeFEED in RSS 0.91 format if you like - there are links on the HTML preview of each feed.

lol this is really strange
ok, in my first thread i postet that i have two different versions of the rss file

for FF and IE7

so the FF versions dont work with the reader of nuke, but the IE7 version works with no problem Shocked

lock yourself
http://www.destros-world.de/modules.php?name=rssReader

-edit-
looool, this is awesome
the versions that i make for IE7 are also working for FF

really cool Cool

I am not familiar with the rssReader module, and there is not copyright information to tell who developed it.

What versions are you making, and how?

Posted: Fri Jun 20, 2008 9:43 am

well, in the first, i tryed to make a running rss file
the problem was this code
echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"ISO-8859-1\"?>\n\n";

i deletet it and it worked but there are no specialchars like äöü

i searched a long time for a working RSS with this special chars
and found it in ravens nuke version
he uses this code for the header
header('Content-Type: application/xml;charset=iso-8859-1');

i tryed it on the original and it woked, the special chars are available

the majior problem was, that no other php-site ore rss reader like this module could read the original backend and the version from raven.
so i searched in the forum and found two threads about it from BobMarion

this thread is the important one
http://www.ravenphpscripts.com/posts2757-highlight-backend.html
bob explains how the backend must be changed so that it works
well, i tryed it, but nothing happens and the backends still dont work

then i realized that the backends dont work with IE
because this DTD stuff (i dont know exacly)
and i changed it.

well, i said it in my first thread, its a little bit complicated
because i must change a lot of things
the two lines must be comment out
//$row = $db->sql_fetchrow($db->sql_query("SELECT * FROM ".$prefix."_config"));
//$sitename = $row[sitename];

then the
the header code to this
header("Content-Type: application/rss+xml");

and the spziel line that FF dont like must be "rehabilitated"
echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"ISO-8859-1\"?>\n\n";

and finaly, it worked fo both (at least at my site)

i uploadet the backends if you want to try

Instead of developing your own backend, why not just use nukeFEED to generate your feeds?

i tryed nukefeed, and it doesnt worked
but now, why should i use nukefeeds when the backends works Wink

(also on the blackberry of my friend Razz

)

Sorry, but that doesn't make sense. You're saying that backend doesn't work, and nukeFEED doesn't work? Now you're saying backend works? If it doesn't work for both IE7 and FF, then it doesn't work.

Many sites are using nukeFEED without problems, so we can probably figure out why it isn't working for you. I'd rather do that that spend time writing something custom that has already been solved with nukeFEED.

true, true, and true
the backend doesn't worked at the bgeinning
then in the time of this thread i maked one that work, for ie and ff
i tryed nukefeed and it doesn't work

why should i use nukefeed when it doesn't work
i stuck at this problem one year, i'm happy that this stuff finally work
and why should i spend more time to figure out why nukefeed don't work

sorry, but i got that what i want, i tryed the files on three site with the same problem and at all of this sites it worked to.

if anyone would try it on its own page, have fun with it,

I'm glad you got it working. If you're happy with that, you don't need nukeFEED.

But if you need more flexibility, integration with feedburner, autodection by most browsers, or other features that nukeFEED offers not available in backend solutions, you might want to try it then. As for it not working, without knowing what specifically you tried and / or what problems you have, I can't even suggest possible solutions.
