Require Curl?

It does..and almost all apache servers have curl installed…..curl is being used to see if the image exists on the external server. If you want, you can either make sure you have curl on your server, or change this line in the excerpts_function.php file (line 654) from

if ($fopenIsSet==1  && rssmi_remoteFileExists($matches[1])){

to

if ($fopenIsSet==1){

Thanks, yes that line change fixed it! ??
Now it works fine without Curl installed on the server.

New question:
Any idea why I get the correct letters (norwegian letters) with template “Vertical Scroll 1”, but not with some of the others, like “Default” or “Clean separated”? With them I get ? instead of the scandinavian letters… It’s a standard UK/US WP installation.
I guess it might have to do with the theme fonts I have, but where do i change the type of font used in the “Clean separated” template, so I get the same font used in “Vertical scroll 1” instead (since that one works)…?

Thanks in advance! ??

first of all, the templates shouldn’t have anything to do with the problem of the letters – if there is a problem it should happen with all templates since the decoding happens in the excerpt_functions.php file..you can go there and look for this line

$content=html_entity_decode(pre_esc_html($content));

and change it to this

$content=html_entity_decode(pre_esc_html($content), ENT_QUOTES,'UTF-8');

as for the fonts, etc, that is CSS and is handled in the template.css file

Hi again, thanks for your quick responses ??

Adding the “ENT_QUOTES,’UTF-8′” as you mention didn’t change the letters.

If you read the feed at:
https://helenerask.zolexdomains.com/feed/
with most of your templates (ie Clean separated) can you duplicate the problem?

I’m no good at code but from what I found comparing the “clean separated” and the working “Vertical scroll 1” template php files i see this part in the “vertical scroll 1.php” code at line 51

$desc= esc_attr(strip_tags(@html_entity_decode($items[“mydesc”], ENT_QUOTES, get_option(‘blog_charset’))));

Something about blog_charset, and that part isn’t in the other “clean separated.php” code. Maybe that’s something to do with the characters showing up different?

Thanks again in advance for your help ??

Hi again Allen!

Like I said, I have not much of a clue what I’m doing but I’ve tried my way around mixing lines with “Try & error” method, between the working “Vertical Scroll 1.php” code, and the one I’d like to use “clean separated.php”. And ended up finally (many hours later) with a working version of “clean separated” template that has this code now:

<?php

$charstoshow=100;  //  This number can be changed..indicates how many characters of the excerpt to show

	$readable='<div class="rssmi_wrap">';

	//  don't mess with this php code
	foreach($myarray as $items) {

	if ($pag!==1){
		$total = $total +1;
		if ($maxperPage>0 && $total>=$maxperPage) break;
	}

	$idnum=$idnum +1;
	//  END don't mess with this php code 

	$readable .= '<div class="wprssmi-cs-items">';
//	$readable .= '<div class="title"><a '.$openWindow.' href='.$items["mylink"].' '.($noFollow==1 ? 'rel=nofollow':'').'>'.$items["mytitle"].'</a>';

$readable .= '<div class="title"><a '.$openWindow.' href='.$items["mylink"].' title="'.$items["mytitle"].'" '.($noFollow==1 ? 'rel=nofollow':'').'>'.$items["mytitle"].'</a>';

if(!empty($items["myAuthor"])){
  ///this is testing
	}

	if ($showmore==1 && $showDesc==1){

		$readable .=  ' <a href="javascript:void(0)"><img src="'.$images_url.'/arrow_down.png"/  id="#'.$idnum.'" class="nav-toggle"></a></div>';	

	} else{

		$readable .=  '</div>';
	}

if (!empty($items["mydesc"]) && $showDesc==1){

	if ($showmore==1 && $showDesc==1){
		$readable .=  '<div id="'.$idnum.'" style="display:none">';
	}else{
		$readable .=  '<div class="body">';
	}
								$desc= esc_attr(strip_tags(@html_entity_decode($items["mydesc"], ENT_QUOTES, get_option('blog_charset'))));
						$desc = wp_html_excerpt( $desc, $charstoshow );
						if ( '[...]' == substr( $desc, -5 ) )
							$desc = substr( $desc, 0, -5 ) . '[&hellip;]';
							elseif ( '[&hellip;]' != substr( $desc, -10 ) )
								$desc .= ' [&hellip;]';
							$desc = esc_html( $desc );

$readable .=  showexcerpt($items["mydesc"],$desc,$openWindow,$stripAll,$items["mylink"],$adjustImageSize,$float,$noFollow,$items["myimage"],$items["mycatid"],$stripSome);
$readable .=  $desc;

$readable .=  '</div>';	

}

	$readable .= '<div class="wprssmi-cs-source">'.date_i18n("D, M d, Y g:i:s A",$items["mystrdate"]).', Continue reading <a '.$openWindow.' href='.$items["mylink"].' '.($noFollow==1 ? 'rel=nofollow':'').'">at the source</a></div></div>';

}  	//  don't mess with this php code 

	$readable .='</div>';					

?>

You will most likely find errors or “you can’t do so” and other misstakes, but it works… ??

If you can figure out why/how this change makes a difference, and/or se possible problems i made, I’d be happy for a feature update or cleaned up official code version ??

You can see it working nice now at: https://raskfitline.no

Thanks for your help and nice plugin ??

Thanks Allen Member removing rssmi_remoteFileExists($matches[1]) from if condition working for me also…
