Joomla 1.0.9+ compatible kl_rssfeed

by **infograf768** on Tue Jul 11, 2006 6:27 am

This is a modified version of Konlong kl_rssfeed compatible with Joomla 1.0.9+.

It lets display feeds in content.

EDIT: bug in Title corrected

EDIT: should now display links correctly (07/18/06)

PHP 4 and 5+ compatible for UTF8 Newsfeeds.

EDIT: updated to a semantically correct tableless alternative October 25th 2006

ONE HAS TO BE LOGGED IN TO DOWNLOAD FILE.

What is different with this version?
I am using the original version and it seems to work fine for almost all RSS feeds, except a few google feeds.

I'm using Joomla 1.10

Thanks

You have a bug in that Joomla version that you just published. It is replacing the "Item Title" with the "Channel Title".

What did you change in this new version because the old mambo version worked fine in all versions of Joomla.

by **infograf768** on Thu Jul 13, 2006 11:29 pm

Since Joomla! version 1.0.9, correctly proposed utf8 encoded feeds are displayed correctly.
The calls to reach this goal are new and the former version was only using the old domit library.

Basically, this new version is for non-english latin languages utf8 feeds.

It tests if your site is utf-8 or not.
It tests if the feed is utf8 or not.
It tests if php is 4 or >=5
and reencoe or decode in function of these parameters.

It does what com_newsfeeds.php does since Joomla 1.0.9 AND present it in content.

That sounds worthwhile - Can you fix the bug I described?

by **infograf768** on Fri Jul 14, 2006 5:46 am

I have not touched at these parameters.
Will test.

by **infograf768** on Mon Jul 17, 2006 5:48 am

Could you post a capture with the original kl_rssfeed result and one with the upgraded one?
Obviously let me know the url for the feed.
Also the exact code you used in the content, as well as the parameters you used for the bot in admin.

Thanks.

by **gerrybakker** on Mon Jul 17, 2006 6:10 am

The feed is this
{kl_rssfeed}http://ww1.prweb.com/xml/legal.xml{/kl_rssfeed}

You can see it with the original code running at http://www.legaldirectoryservices.com
With your version all it does is repeat " PRWeb: Legal / Law"

hey, i'm having a big problem with the rss feed plugin, as you can see here:
http://www.signal360.net/index.php?opti ... &Itemid=58
its only displaying the worlds html_entity_decode and linking to the homepage rather than the actual article.
Is there any way to fix this?

by **jamijares** on Mon Jul 17, 2006 8:23 pm

Where are the css styles of the kl_rss located and what classes use the feeding item headings and the feed item description?

I want to make the kl_rss feeds look as the native joomla rss feeds but I cant find how to modify them.

In the mambot parameters, you may enter a class definition which is going to be used for all elements in the presentation.

If you enter "klfeed", you will get the following kind of source (view source in the browser):

Code: Select all: <div> <table class="contentpaneopen"> <tr> <td class="contentheading" width="100%"> test kl bot </td> <td align="right" width="100%" class="buttonheading"> <a href="http://192.168.0.100/joomla1.0.3/index2.php?option=com_content&do_pdf=1&id=32" target="_blank" onclick="window.open('http://192.168.0.100/joomla1.0.3/index2.php?option=com_content&do_pdf=1&id=32','win2','status=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,titlebar=no,menubar=no,resizable=yes,width=640,height=480,directories=no,location=no'); return false;" title="Convertir en PDF"> <img src="http://192.168.0.100/joomla1.0.3/images/M_images/pdf_button.png" alt="Convertir en PDF" name="Convertir en PDF" align="middle" border="0" /></a> </td> <td align="right" width="100%" class="buttonheading"> <a href="http://192.168.0.100/joomla1.0.3/index2.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=32&pop=1&page=0&Itemid=55" target="_blank" onclick="window.open('http://192.168.0.100/joomla1.0.3/index2.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=32&pop=1&page=0&Itemid=55','win2','status=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,titlebar=no,menubar=no,resizable=yes,width=640,height=480,directories=no,location=no'); return false;" title="Version imprimable"> <img src="http://192.168.0.100/joomla1.0.3/images/M_images/printButton.png" alt="Version imprimable" name="Version imprimable" align="middle" border="0" /></a> </td> <td align="right" width="100%" class="buttonheading"> <a href="http://192.168.0.100/joomla1.0.3/index2.php?option=com_content&task=emailform&id=32&itemid=55" target="_blank" onclick="window.open('http://192.168.0.100/joomla1.0.3/index2.php?option=com_content&task=emailform&id=32&itemid=55','win2','status=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,titlebar=no,menubar=no,resizable=yes,width=400,height=250,directories=no,location=no'); return false;" title="Suggérer par mail"> <img src="http://192.168.0.100/joomla1.0.3/images/M_images/emailButton.png" alt="Suggérer par mail" name="Suggérer par mail" align="middle" border="0" /></a> </td> </tr> </table> <table class="contentpaneopen"> <tr> <td width="70%" align="left" valign="top" colspan="2"> <span class="small"> Ecrit par Administrator </span> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" colspan="2" class="createdate"> 03-07-2006 </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" colspan="2"> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="klfeed"> <tr> <td class="klfeed"> Yahoo!

etc.

You then only have to define your CSS in your template_css.css file.

Can't see your site.

by **infograf768** on Tue Jul 18, 2006 10:53 am

Upgraded the bot to display correct title links to Items.

Looks like I could not make it PHP4 compatible.
Help accepted!

by **jkrobin** on Tue Jul 18, 2006 10:58 am

Do any of you know if kl_rssfeed will process Atom feeds? I've been trying to make it do so, but am unsure if the problem is with my usage or with a limitation of the bot.

Thanks,

jkrobin

by **infograf768** on Tue Jul 18, 2006 11:15 am

The bot can't do more than Joomla as it uses the limited domit library.
As far as I know, Joomla! can't display Atoms in 1.0.x version.

by **eGulp** on Thu Jul 20, 2006 9:59 pm

Can be this plug in the answer to this my need :

If you want to display as content on your site the e-bay feed
http://rss.api.ebay.com/ws/rssapi?FeedN ... i=&frpp=25

This is indeed the way to go.

by **eGulp** on Fri Jul 21, 2006 6:45 am

So, I'm arrived in the right side

and please, Do you know what are disfferences from kl_rssfeed to the others I mentioned

by **mbstroz** on Fri Jul 21, 2006 11:30 am

The AJAX RSS reader reads in the files, caches them and then displays the topics in an auto updating box that will refresh based on what ever time frame you put. I put your feed into my reader and was able to parse the file but due to the file name being so huge and the way it caches the filename, it caused an

failed to open stream. Filename to long.

it still shows the data but it wont work for production use with that error up there.

maybe i need to re-think how i'm caching the feed names...

by **jamijares** on Sat Jul 22, 2006 6:08 am

What can be the source of problems for displaying feeds from different sources?

In the site:

http://www.bufereconsulta.com/dev

I am still setting up some feeds with the kl_rss module but I get strarnge behaviors.

In the Topicos module is where I am setting up the sample feeds and this is what happens:
1. With NewsisFree feeds I get no problems.
2. With Yahoo feeds the feeds are displyed but when clicking on a link the bowser gets wrong the url. The kl_rss module produces the following url: http://eapanol.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/r ... 52801.html

Instead of the correct url that would be:
http://mx.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/searc ... 52801.html

so what it does it changes the beggining letters mx. yahoo for eapanol.rd.yahoo

¿How is this happening?
What part of the program generates the url of the link?

3. The google feed does not display anything even though the feed outside joomla displays corrctly the information of the topic.

Please help.

is there any way to jump from the first displayed feeds to a next part of the list, usually I can see only 15 and cant get the following 16-N feeds

by **infograf768** on Sat Jul 22, 2006 9:19 am

Concerning the yahoo feed, this is due to a bad implementation by Yahoo.
If you test the feed:

Code: Select all: <rss version="2.0"> − <channel> − <title> Yahoo! Resultados de búsqueda de noticias sobre inflación en méxico </title> − <link> http://mx.search.yahoo.com/search/news?p=inflaci%C3%B3n+en+m%C3%A9xico&ei=UTF-8 </link> − <description> Yahoo! Resultados de búsqueda de noticias sobre inflación en méxico </description> <language>en-us</language> − <copyright> Copyright © 2006 Yahoo! de México S.A. de C.V. Todos los derechos reservados. </copyright> <lastBuildDate>Sat, 22 Jul 2006 08:43:37 GMT</lastBuildDate> <ttl>5</ttl> − <image> <title>Yahoo!

Therefore you should ask to Yahoo Mexico about this.

Concerning the Google feeds, I could not solve your problem.
I updated kl to the last version (posted above) on your site and tested.
Changed your admin editor to JCE, optimized your db, deleted all Trash items, etc., etc.
They do not display.

BUT here, on my setting (similar to yours) they do fully show...

I wonder if one of the (multiple) extensions you are using is not the culprit.
I dare not touch them though.

by **jamijares** on Sun Jul 23, 2006 12:45 am

Jean - Marie

Thank you very much for your help, I am very grateful that you have invested so much time in helping the community solve our problems.

I have wrote a letter to the guys at Yahoo suggesting them to fix the feeds heading url.

Meanwhile I will use only feeds that work like the ones from NewsIsFree, or I will try other rss redaers that can mix several feeds on the same page. The reason I am not using the native joomla rss newsreader redaer is because I havent found the way to include several ffeds on the same page.

Again thanks for all your help especially after all what you tried to do on our site.

All the best to you

by **HyperCyber** on Thu Jul 27, 2006 1:28 pm

Please we need a demonstration ...
If it's possibal

by **emagin** on Fri Jul 28, 2006 5:30 am

It does not seem to have been explained very clearly here, but the original 1.0.9 update was buggy and did not show titles of items correctly, showing only the feed title over and over.

If you are still having problems, redownload the latest version in the first item of this thread, at the very bottom there is a smallish link to a ZIP file, that's the one.

by **infograf768** on Fri Jul 28, 2006 5:41 am

Yep, sorry. Me no coder. Just want to help.
It is still not php4 compatible concerning utf8 and needs work.
I know who I may ask but he is on vacation.
When done, I'll update.

Parameters are to be chosen in the bot admin settings globally. administrator/mambots/content/
They may be overwritten for each usage.
There is a readme file in the distro.
Here is a copy:

kl_rssfeed is a content mambot which is used to include rssfeeds in content. This mambot has
13 admin parameters, each of which may be over-ridden as an attribute in the mambots' tag

{kl_rssfeed}http://news.search.yahoo.com/news/rss?p=new+york&ei=UTF-8&fl=0&x=wrt{/kl_rssfeed}

{kl_rssfeed image="0"chtitle="0"chdesc="0"span="div"}http://news.search.yahoo.com/news/rss?p=new+york&ei=UTF-8&fl=0&x=wrt{/kl_rssfeed}

default
"image" "1" Display Channel images
"chtitle" "1" Display Channel titles
"chdesc" "1" Display Channel description
"chsrc" "0" Do NOT Display the HTML source code for the Channel
"title" "1" Display the item title
"desc" "1" Display the item description
"itemsrc" "0" Do NOT Display the HTML source code for the Item
"item_one" "1" Specify the item number to start with
"items" "1" Specify the max number of stories per feed
"word_count" "100" Specify the max number of words per story
"span" "0" Wrap the feed in a span or a div
"cache" "3600" Number of seconds to cache each feed.
"class" "kl_rssfeed" CSS class to be used in the various HTML tags.
"debug" "0" Turning this on will produce a lot of output!

Edit a picture? I do not see how this could be done...
Images are included (or not) in the feed and the only choice is to display them or not.
You may obviously, as it is displayed in a Content item, add any picture or anything else in that content.

Hope it helps.

by **boctorg** on Sun Jul 30, 2006 10:34 am

Thanks! I thought it probably! It is a pity that no!

by **emagin** on Mon Jul 31, 2006 7:38 pm

Any chance you could tell me why this Google RSS feed won't show up?

Code: Select all: http://news.google.com/news?ie=UTF-8&q=%22marin+county%22+italian+-restaurant+-sports+-%22death+row%22+-catholic+-coroner
