Joomla 1.0.9+ compatible kl_rssfeed

infograf768 · **Posted:** Tue Aug 01, 2006 6:31 am

The link is wrong:

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

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

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:

                                    <li class="klfeed">

            <tr>
               <td class="klfeed">

etc.

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

You seem to have an unbalanced

Can someone give this noob some help with php?

I create a file called testpage.php It contains this:

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

When I access it, all I get is this:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /home/domains/mydomain.com/public_html/wrapper/testpage.php on line 2

What can I do to fix this?

infograf768 · **Posted:** Mon Aug 14, 2006 6:00 am

the kl_rssfed mambot is designed to be used in a "content item", not as a standalone php file.

roger_jg · **Joined:** Mon Jul 31, 2006 4:33 pm **Posts:** 151

And it still does not work on my site as any other neewsfeeds...

Any idea? is it because my host runs Php 5?

Thx

~R

infograf768 · **Posted:** Mon Aug 14, 2006 7:40 am

php5 works better than php4 (see above)

Are you doing everything right?
1. Publish the mambot
2. Edit a content item
3. Enter the following
{kl_rssfeed}http://news.search.yahoo.com/news/rss?p=new+york&ei=UTF-8&fl=0&x=wrt{/kl_rssfeed}
save and test in front-end

Ah HA ! Now this is making to make sense!!!

Coudl you be more precise when you say:

2. Edit a content item
3. Enter the following
{kl_rssfeed}http://news.search.yahoo.com/news/rss?p=new+york&ei=UTF-8&fl=0&x=wrt{/kl_rssfeed}

What do you mean buy "Edit" ? I have treid to "create" a new item in the Main Menu and chosing Link-content or Link-Component but there is nowhere where I can enter what is on number 3...

Do I need to create a section and a category? I have a newsfeed menu already but there the newsfeed don't show
http://thainaids.byethost10.com/index.p ... s&Itemid=7

I am sure that I am not doing something simple but what?

Would you mind giving more details?

Thx
~R

Ok Something else I have tried, I just added an item to one of my category, and for description I used the text in 3 above and published it on the front page too and I get nothing... If I use the debug i get that: ( I have tried another rss feed in this example...)

Debug-KL_RSSFEED:
------

@roger_jg

Send me a username and password (administrator) as well as url for your site by pm.
I'll make sure evrything is OK and create for you a sample and you will go from there.

infograf768 · **Posted:** Mon Aug 14, 2006 1:58 pm

Just to summarize here for the reader.

In fact the whole Newsfeeds function does not work on Roger's site.
Therefore it is not related to kl_rssfeed.

Roger, I could not see your system info.
Which Jooomla version and which PHP/MySql versions do you run?

I am not 100% sure but my nose smells something concerning the new PHP 5.1.4 release.

It just may be incompatible with Joomla rssfeeds functions as are.

roger_jg · **Joined:** Mon Jul 31, 2006 4:33 pm **Posts:** 151

Did you see I also have FetchRSS.. does not work..
I tried Social RSS does not work, Feed gator does not work but I believe this one is not compatible with Php5

Well... I will continue to monitor this thread and similar ones...
Thx

Installing PHP 5.1.4 (on low band)
+ 2 core are also looking for this problem, Roger, as this may concern all users and not you alone.

and it does not work.. I suppose it is more something to do with Jommla 1.0.10

you have to talk to your hosts...

The

It is far too restrictive.

You may also have to ask your hosts to allow access to the specific rssfeeds you need.

Definitely not Joomla related.

You may delete my account now on your sites.

Good luck.

Jean Marie,

On the Thainaids site the same line reads:

Open basedir: /var/www/virtual/thainaids.byethost10.com/:/usr/share/php/:/tmp/:/var/www/errors:/var/www/banner/

What should I aks them because it is here I need the Newsfeed more.

Roger

infograf768 · **Posted:** Mon Aug 14, 2006 4:26 pm

I guess you should copy/paste parts of this thread and mail them asking them to fix their settings.
It may be related to let the url for the feed show in that list (until last slash) or just simplify as all other hosting systems do.

They should know better.

(Strange hosting you get there..)

Thanks a lot!!!

I will try tomorrow. It's 23:30 now and I am falling asleep...

Strange hosting but they provide me with 250MB storage, 20GB traffic and PHP mail !

Again thx

I'll keep you posted

KL_RSSFEED (Tableless) is the same code as original kon-long kl_rssfeed + display in div instead of tables. It is NOT utf8 compatible as this kl_rssfeed for Joomla! 1.0.10
I have asked spig to join our 2 projects once we solve the php4 problem.

RSS 2 Joomla auto imports rss feeds as contents. It adds items to the database.

Feed Gator has the same function as RSS2 Joomla Auto, but much more complex an sophisticated. It also imports feeds as contents.

Hi infograf768,

so your kl_rssfeed for Joomla! 1.0.10 is more compatible with "Joomla future"...
Please, what does it mean exactly "imports feeds as contents" respect your plugin ?
what does it mean as functions, usability, features ... ?
Could you give me some practice examples ?
(I hope you understand me, sorry for my bad English)

Many Thanks for explainations

You should read above...

1. install and publish the bot
2. Open a content item for edit (or create a new one).
3. Enter the link to a feed between the brackets (or multiple feeds)
ex: {kl_rssfeed}http://www.jornada.unam.mx/rss/politica.xml{/kl_rssfeed}
4. Publish your content

That content will update itself with the feed(s) provided.
It can be part of a category and displayed in a blog or through a table, in the FrontPage component, etc., as any other content.
Format can be decided as explained here:
http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic ... #msg416748

Why don't you just try?

Sorry to hear this.
I guess you know now that 250MB etc. has drawbacks...

RSS is now a very common feature on most sites. Next joomla version will provide for you infos on the up-to-date aspect of your Joomla through a connexion to our sites... (Just that, no infos will go from your site except the version used).

You may have to go hunting.

eGulp · **Posted:** Mon Aug 28, 2006 3:11 pm

@ infograf768,

before I understood you spoke about "imports feeds as contents" when you mentioned
RSS 2 Joomla auto and Feed Gator

so my question was to understand which is the differents from your plugin

infograf768 · **Posted:** Mon Aug 28, 2006 3:25 pm

They CREATE contents in the database, each with its own picked up feed. These feeds's contents are stored until you delete them.
kl_rssfeed DISPLAYS live feeds in a content item you create. It is volatile, working as the Joomla Newsfeeds component.

eGulp · **Posted:** Mon Aug 28, 2006 6:11 pm

Now I understood difference

but cannot uderstand:
When store in the DB can be useful and give me a really advantage ?

on your experience, have you examples for me ?

Many Thanks for your patience

eGulp · **Posted:** Mon Aug 28, 2006 7:51 pm

... and ... I add another question:

Can your plugin work with multilanguage site ?
Have you think about ?

an example: I have Italian - Spanish - English on my Joomla portal with JoomFish and I add a Google RSS ...
A lot of big portals have more extensions and languages, so I have an Italian Google, Spanish Google, English Google (sometimes news are differents, sometimes no, for me is not important right now). Can I have differents RSS depending on languge selected on portal ?
