Number of items displayed:
1. is a general parameter for the bot itself (see admin)
2. maybe changed on a per item basis using the items="yournumber" as stated in the post above.

i am using kl_rssfeed to post RSS feeds from GigCalendar for individual artists on my record label's web site.
after changing the default from '$bot_params->def( 'items', '11' ); to $bot_params->def( 'items', '100' );
i get this weird bullet between the entries within the feed.

I had the same problem. Although I'm not an html expert, as far as I can there is an unbalanced tr/td combo in the code. (by this I mean a tr / td is opened but never closed., ie every td or tr tag needs a /tr /td tag)

around line 325 in the php file you see should see this code:

Code:

$item_title = $currItem->getTitle();
            $item_title = mosCommonHTML::newsfeedEncoding( $rssDoc, $item_title );
            ?>
            
            <tr>
               <td<?php echo $class; ?>>

if you change it to this:

Code:

            $item_title = $currItem->getTitle();
            $item_title = mosCommonHTML::newsfeedEncoding( $rssDoc, $item_title );
            ?>

it might work, it did for me.

Not exactly. I checked the php file and found the culprit.
(I had not modified this from the original.)
Please try the following php from line 317. 2 changes.

Code:

//NEW list-style for the <li>tag

<li<?php echo $class; ?>list-style="none"> 

// end added style
                     <?php 
                     // Title
                     if ( $kl_params['title'] ) {
            $item_title = $currItem->getTitle();
            $item_title = mosCommonHTML::newsfeedEncoding( $rssDoc, $item_title );
            ?>
            
            <tr>
               <td<?php echo $class; ?>>
               
               
            <a href="<?php echo ampReplace( $currItem->getLink() ); ?>" target="_child">

Thank you for your responds.

I have been getting the feed but it doesn't link to the appropiate link,

Also some how the images won't appear. I fyou can help me that would be great.

infograf768 · **Posted:** Sun Oct 22, 2006 6:52 am

@Resource4sports

This feed of yours has an extremely high number of items.
How many do you want to display?

Here is the exact text to type in your content to display 140 items:
{kl_rssfeed image="1"chtitle="1"chdesc="1"items="140"}http://www.championshipproductions.com/cgi-bin/champ/rss.xml?sport=69&affiliate=B4U{/kl_rssfeed}

Change the figure "140" to what fits your needs.

I am going to update the mambot later today to include the php changes above ( http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic ... #msg532262 )

I don't understand what you mean, sorry.
Please post an url of your site and explain in details what you are expecting precisely and what you get.

As you can see on http://www.resource4sports.com/componen ... temid,174/

The links go to http://www.championshipproductions.com/ ... ?mv_pc=rss

They should go to http://www.championshipproductions.com/ ... ?mv_pc=B4U

The link I have put into {kl_rssfeed image="1"chtitle="1"chdesc="1"items="50"}http://www.championshipproductions.com/cgi-bin/champ/rss.xml?sport=69&affiliate=B4U{/kl_rssfeed}

I hope it is clear know the link redirects to a different link.

It should be like this http://www.resource4sports.com/componen ... temid,217/

infograf768 · **Posted:** Sun Oct 22, 2006 5:05 pm

I think I found the culprit.

The " & " (in &affiliate=B4U) is changed to an htmlentity when saving through your editor, thus that part is escaped and the feed provided is in fact: http://www.championshipproductions.com/ ... l?sport=69

2 solutions:
1. use the No WYSIWYG editor for these contents
2. Install JCE editor and set parameter to "Raw"

See here:

Dear Info

I thank you I have made the changes and it worked.

For this content do I need to make the change in de global config. or can I select it fo the specific category.?

Thank you a lot

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

Salut Jean-Marie.

I merged kl_rssfeed 1.0.10 with tableless version in order to fix problems related to utf8 compliance. Anyway, in case anybode else need this feature working in tableless version, I've attached the merged version.

By the way, congratulations for the excelent mambot.

I reviewed it and am proposing to you all now a tableless kl_rssfeed which does not have the drawbacks of the original tableless and of your merged version.

The drawback is a semantically incorrect display if the class is not entered in the parameters:

Code:

<ul-ul">
   <li-li">

...
<h4-item_title"> etc.

for example...

Therefore please find here my version. I'll also add it to the first post as an alternative to the table version.
(utf8 is still only for php5, sorry.)

This version will show its full power when adding a class, but will still be semantically correct without them.

CSS classes to add to the template_css.css
------Parameter entered for class is here "klrssfeed"

.klrssfeed {background-image: none;} //this takes off the default image bullet in solarflare
ul.klrssfeed {margin-left: -1em;}
li.klrssfeed p {margin-left: 1em; margin-top: -1em; }
.klrssfeed h3 {font-size: 1.2em; font-weight: bold;}
.klrssfeed h4 {font-size:1.1em; }

These settings are obviously just an example and may be twisted at will.

I encourage all using the module to uninstall the table version and install this new version which is indeed much more versatile.
The php amd xml files may be FTPed directly in the mambots/contents/ folder for those that do not wish to change their settings.
(just add the Class parameter if not used yet)

kl_rssfeed will display the same feeds Joomla can display through the Newsfeeds Component (in php5 for utf8 feeds).

If a Turkish iso-8559-9 feed does not display through Joomal Component, it will not with kl_rssfeed. You will have to wait for 1.5.

The domit library in Joomla does only deal with some feeds and not others.
Please post here your feed url for us to feedback.

I am trying to install this plugin so I can display feeds on content pages, not on the frontpage.

I installed the mambot, and it was successful. I then pasted the css info into my template.css

I then went to add content and selected the appropriate section and category

I then typed {kl_rssfeed}http://unfospreys.cstv.com/event-toolbar-rss.xml{/kl_rssfeed}

I then went to my page Link]http://www.ospreyscene.com/osprey-sports-news/top-events-and-scores/osprey-top-events--scores.html]Link and it just shows up blank.

Am I missing something here? Is there a specific place in the css you have to post the provided code?

All the rss feeds I want are listed here : http://unfospreys.cstv.com/rss/rss-index.html

taraximus · **Joined:** Fri Sep 22, 2006 5:17 pm **Posts:** 49

in the admin panel, in mambots menu, publish the plug in then it will work

lithman · **Joined:** Wed May 10, 2006 2:06 am **Posts:** 7

awesome that worked... except how come when i click on rss feed (in the mambot admin) a box comes up saying "resitricted access" and then there is a lock on it?

taraximus · **Joined:** Fri Sep 22, 2006 5:17 pm **Posts:** 49

i think it is related with chmod settings look at the chmods of the related directories

Is PHP5 only necessary for certain feeds? If so, can you post an example? I have this new utf8 tableless version installed in Joomla v1.0.11 running under PHP4 and everthing seems to be working fine.

BTW, thanks for all the work put into this guys.

Sorry, these feeds (iso 8559-9) are not correct in Joomla! itself, therefore they will not show either correctly with kl_rssfeed.
If they had been made in utf-8 and your would have used a Turkish utf-8 language pack, they would have displayed OK.
