I'm getting it now... so if I'm pulling in English only feeds, I'm probably not going to run into a problem... correct?

Thanks!

English text is ANSI (less requirements than iso-8559-1) therefore there never has problems.
Joomla 1.0.9+ is also providing a way to display utf-8 feeds and that is what this bot does, in content.
Some feeds do not display though (because they are badly formatted, because they are utf8 and php4 is used _in some cases_ or because the domit libray is limited and this concerns the 1.0.x series as a whole.)

I use kl_rssfeed a lot in my sites.
Love it, a great tool!

But to simplify things, I change the php file (search for 'regex') from {kl_rssfeed.... to {rss..... and {/kl_rssfeed} to {/rss}
This makes dropping rss feeds into content much faster and is also more intuitive for end-users.
To be correct you could also change the xml file instructions to refer to your change.

Thanks emagin.

The reason why I have not changed that is the fact that konlong did the first version and we how him IMO this great bot (the "kl" part).
I personally use a macro to enter these.
It is easy enough, as you state, to change if desired.

Ok, fair enough, I don't want to take credit away where it is due!
But perhaps this could be made evident in the notes, code, etc. so that the history is not lost.

What I love about this bot is how easy it is to embed feeds into content.

I use this to embed into content:

Social bookmark lists based on a single user or public
Flyspray bugtracker lists for project info
Podcast feeds
Custom yahoo/google news searches

Once you start to play with the many RSS feeds out there, serious lightbulbs go off!

I also always copy and paste the XML how-to instructions into my site's FAQ page.
This way every bot or component I add always has the instructions searchable in the Joomla content.
Then using security, I can denote if it's to be seen by admins only (special) or by Editors or general public.
It would be so nice if the Joomla ACL got improved so I could get granular and create specific groups (usually for client projects) so that I could separate content by Project Group, but I guess we'll have to wait a bit for that

Dear Community

I have used your information to my satisfaction. But some othe rproblems do occur. I have to witch from editor every time to install my feeds.

I have the JCE editor for a while and have set the parameters at raw, this doesn't seem to work. If I had an editor who won't change the symbols in a feed or text. I believe the problem would be solved.

Thank you

There is a solution that implies hacking JCE a bit.
Look for this string in mambots/editors/jce/jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js, and just delete it.

But my hack chokes on all google feeds.
We have to wait for the help I asked for, sorry.

Not sure what you mean by "The link is wrong" ?
I just tried it, I get xml of the news, and if I put it in Sage or any other RSS newsreader, including netvibes, works fine. I get all the titles of the news from Google.

Did you hear back from your friend if these google rss feeds can be made to work.
I guess a simpler one to test the concept is just as well.

Just checked again and UTF8 Google feeds works in 1.0.12, php 4.4.2, MySQL 5 (iso-8559-1 collation).
When I stated that the link was wrong, I was speaking of the lack of "&output=rss" at the end the link you posted.
I suggest you try again with the link as I corrected it.

Looks like these are now working OK, even in PHP4.

The path from the extensions tab leads to this forum dialogue, as does the homepage. Where is the download link? I'd really like to try the extension. Would you please activate it.

Thanks

emagin · **Posted:** Thu Nov 02, 2006 12:58 am

Download seems to work fine for me.
There are 2 zip files at the bottom of the 1st Post.

FYI, there is a .DS_Store file in the ZIP (I think that's an OSX file or something, probably unnecessary but may be invisible to you when you create zip)

I assume we can just replace the old files on server with your new files and all should be ok right?

Yes it should. One may also uninstall the table version and install the tableless one with the zip. In that case, parameters have to be reentered in the mambot admin.
I don't see the .DS_store file in the zip. It is created on a Mac when unzipping locally.

Dear Sir

I am a sports fanatic and I really need some help with my website since I am not a developer. http://www.resource4sports.com

First error

My editor shows this in the text

Players 1 and 5 take there shot and move to the corner of the court.Â Â

Second error is this

Warning: Missing argument 5 for show() in /home/basket/public_html/resource4sports/templates/news/components/content.html.php on line 387

I need some help with these two errors since they make the website look buggy

Thank you for your help

HArvey

@Resource4sports

I am afraid this thread will not deal with your questions which are not precise enough anyway.
One deals with your editor and the other with your custom template using overrides.
I suggest you post in the related forums.

(Btw, and by pure curiosity, why is your banner an ad for Mambo and your site Joomla! made.

)

Yes I am desperate I have posted issues in the other forums but no responds what so ever, and since I got good help from you I have,

Especially the editor problem with all the extra signs is a major problem.

I will try again and thanx, I am chancing the header soon, did had the time to chance it since my pc had a virus, and could not use Adobe fotoshop

infograf768 · **Posted:** Thu Nov 02, 2006 5:33 pm

I could have a look at your editor problem but I would need superadmin access to your site.
If you like, send me a pm with name/pass and I'll try (not today though)
Explain in pm for which content this problem shows.

Hi,

great module!
When i try inserting this feed it doesn't show anything:
http://www.irishjobs.ie/IJ_RSSfeed.aspx ... DS=italian
Any idea?

thanks!

infograf768 · **Posted:** Sat Nov 04, 2006 4:51 pm

{kl_rssfeed}http://www.irishjobs.ie/IJ_RSSfeed.aspx?IsProvince=1&MatchPerc=40&Recruiter=Both&Category=0&Location=0&referrer=local&KEYWORDS=italian{/kl_rssfeed}

works here, whether on PHP 4.4.4 or php 5.1.6

sztraik · **Joined:** Thu Oct 12, 2006 12:26 pm **Posts:** 2

Thanks for the quick reply. My hosting has PHP 5.0.4 and the rss link seems to be cut at the & (the same feed works in the other RSS components).
Anyway I found a similar feed that works with your great bot.

Thanks again!

infograf768 · **Posted:** Sun Nov 05, 2006 3:07 pm

There is a way to get these feeds with "&" to work when using JCE.

Ggrmrmrmrblblbl ... what i'm doing wrong? I want to read a picasaweb-rss feed. I got only this:

Code:

  ... <cut> ....
  <item>
        <title>051201_000008.jpg</title>
        <link>http://picasaweb.google.com/*****/MouseEnMonkey/photo#4976561736142618642</link>
        <description />
        <pubDate>19 Sep 2006 13:01:12 -0700</pubDate>
        <category>Photo</category>
... <cut>... 

Somehow, i've to format the stream. But how? I tried every option in the mambot. I see some difference's, but no html-output.

infograf768 · **Posted:** Mon Nov 06, 2006 5:20 am

If the stream does not show OK as is through the newsfeed component in Joomla, IT WILL NOT SHOW OK in kl_rssfeed.
Please let us know here the stream url if you want us to test.

Lenn-art · **Posted:** Mon Nov 06, 2006 6:33 am

It's http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/rssUser?uname=l.m.*** , but ATM picasaweb gives a server-error.

I finaly figured out that you have to be logged in to see downlod links. Could you please add this information to your first post? I am new user in these forums and I did't know about this.

This feed works OK on PHP5 and PHP4.

Lenn-art · **Posted:** Mon Nov 06, 2006 4:21 pm

Tnx for trying.

What are the settings i've to use?

infograf768 · **Posted:** Mon Nov 06, 2006 4:27 pm

Default settings are ok.
{kl_rssfeed}http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/rssUser?uname=*****{/kl_rssfeed}

and in the mambot parameters, whatever you like.

Your problem may come from the "?"
See http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic ... #msg540479

Lenn-art · **Posted:** Mon Nov 06, 2006 4:42 pm

I used my special non-html-editor account

So, thats not the problem. Do you get the code, as above (with the tags) or a html-output?

infograf768 · **Posted:** Mon Nov 06, 2006 4:49 pm

All fine here
http://info-graf.fr/infografcvs/content/view/57/28/

(this is a utf8 site on PHP 4.4, but I get the same in an iso-8559-1 site)

Lenn-art · **Posted:** Mon Nov 06, 2006 4:52 pm

Hmmm ... strange ... can you send me a screenshot of your mambot-settings?
