RSS Widget Feed Problems

  • I am having trouble fetching an rss feed and I suspect it is because of a special character in the url. I get no error, but no feed entries appear. I’ve verified fetching the feed with magpie independently and it works fine.

    The feed url is in the format: https://domain.tld/view?fetch=rss

    Can anyone verify if this would indeed cause problems and possible work arounds? Thanks

  • hi docraman,
    i tried your feed and it didn’t work in rss widget indeed BUT it worked in KB Advanced RSS widget. and by me it doesn’t have anything to do with question marks in any of this both widgets.
    i’m going crazy…

    right now i suspect the html_entity_decode part with ENT_QUOTES because it cannot work with the ISO-8859-2 encoding wich comes around with some hungarian feeds. maybe the quotes are not correctly decoded and it causes that $rss->items is not an array.

    clues anyone? (i’m not a php expert…)

    and one more thing: it happens that at the very first time i get the feed but after refreshing my site i get the “an error has occured” message an on and on. there can be something wrong with the handling of arrays.

    it really looks like if you have ?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8“? in the feed it’s perfect, if else or not, it doesn’t work…

    moshunak:
    a kisherceg lehet, hogy a blogban kiosztja az utf-8-at, de a feedben már nem. abban csak ennyi áll: ?xml version=”1.0″?, és r?vid tapasztalatom szerint valahol itt van a kutya elásva. a widget kódja meghülyül, ha nem talál utf-8-at az oldalon… lehet, hogy laikusként mondom, de akkor nincs jól megírva, nem?

    Yes, I ended up using the KB Advanced RSS widget. Seems to work with no problem. I’m also no PHP person, so not really sure about details.

    At least KB helped me get things working ??

    So what’s the official word on this RSS feed issue?

    I’m using KB Advanced RSS but it this morning my feed broke again. I’m just sending a category feed back on the homepage so I can titles of it, and if need be, click on article titles to get the full article.

    Is there a solution to this?

    Or, has the RSS widget ever actually worked?

    hello, I’m using RSS widget integrated in 2.3RC1, I got:

    “An error has occurred; the feed is probably down. Try again later.”
    every time I add something on my delicious feed (https://del.icio.us/rss/nonmarco).
    but the feed is working.
