RSS Feed
|
Can't Post
|
|
Ok, first time I'm psoting and don't know much about anything on coding, But I'll give it a shot anyway. I've read various threads in reference to importing an RSS feed into AM. It doesnt seem likely that any development will take place, but i bumped into a free program here http://www.feedforall.com . Apparently it captures the RSS feed and converts it to html, so i was wondering, if it converts it to html, is there any way of pasting the html code in a new article in AM and have it work that way?
Am I making sense? 
Can anyone advise if its possible and if not any other suggestions?
Thanks

Hi Kitovas.
Thanks for posting and welcome to the board!
That looks like a neat program you found there. I have actually had a chance to test it out myself, however, it seems as though you should be able to integrate that with Article Manager.
You might need to disable your xss filter though, so if you are running into any trouble getting this going, that could be the problem  .
Had you tried it out yourself? It would be great if you could give us some feedback on how well it works and how easy it is to use.
I look forward to hearing from you .

Just bought this and installed and cannot get it to work.
On the web page the error message reads as below but in the source, it says ' TemplateCell : Template cell 'row' is not defined!"
The XML page cannot be displayed Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

I've had the same problem ( "Program Message
TemplateCell : Template cell 'row' is not defined!) when trying to run publishcron.cg to create an RSS feed from AMscripts RSS script package.
This is the only script I've ever had trouble getting to run and I'm really pulling out my hair!!
What is the suggested fix?

Hi WebFusion.
Thanks for posting!
Could I get you to post up the template you are using for your publishcron searches? I think you may just be missing a line of code and if I can take a look I would be able to point it out. I look forward to hearing from you .

Hi Carmine.
Thanks for posting!
That error message is telling your there is a slight adjustment needed to the search results template you’re using in the publishcron search. What you’ll need to do is make sure that the following tags appear in your template somewhere:
<!-- templatecell : row -->
and
<!-- /templatecell : row -->
Could you take a look at that and see if it gets you going? Keep me up to date on your progress .

Hi Ross,
I had my server admin add the xml mime, but he stated to me that since the file is in the cgi-bin the server thinks its executable. I also noticed a few post about this one that someone is suing the extensition php instead of xml, is there a reason for this?

Hi Carmine.
Thanks for the update!
You can actually use any extenstion you like for the actual template used by your rss feed search. You can even use any extension for the file that gets created by publishcron but in most cases an xml file will need to have an .xml extension in order for it to work in a news reader.
So the reason you see some people working with a php file instead of xml is just personal preference. I actually prefer to have my rss template with .html extension so that I know it’s just the template.
Does that help? Let me know if you would like anymore details .

currently my publishcron.ini looks like so:
*********************************************
searchurl = http://news.domain.com/cgi-bin/exec/
page1 = /home/domain/public_html/news/test.xml
query1 = &template=search/rss.html
************************************
and I have tried using these in place of the one above.
query1 = &template=search/rss.xml
query1 = &template=search/rss.php
query1 = &template=search/rss.html
These above get this message.
Program Message
Sorry, the template you've requested is not a registered template.
These actually error out.
query1 = &template=index/rss.xml
query1 = &template=index/rss.php
query1 = &template=index/rss.html
anyone have any idea?

Hi Carmine
Thanks for posting your ini file .
The first thing I notice is that the template you are using is an index one. The publishcron script is running a search so the results will actually need to be on search results template.
Could you try changing rss.xml into a search results template? You can use whatever extension you like for the template.
Let me know how that works for you .

How would i change it to a search results one?
When I have the publishcron call the file in the search/ directory it saves its not a valid template.

Hi DefenceTalk.
Thanks for posting!
I took a look at your rss page and it seems to load ok for me. Had you already resolved the issue?
Perhaps I am just not looking in the right place. If that’s the case, can you give me a few more details about where I can see the problem?
I look forward to hearing from you .

Hi DefenceTalk.com,
Thanks for posting.
The XML feeds can be a bit picky with characters so if you see these messages again, just check to see if an article title has a special character. For example the ’ is treated differently from the ' character even through the are essentially the same thing.

Good question with the promblemmatic ' in an rss feed. I have noticed that they are killing the xml feeds. I'm using rss version 2.0 and still getting stop by them. Is it possible to strip them out somewhere in the publishcron.cgi file? So that the feeds will work as well as any other feed stoppers.
2Nd part to this post.
Now to anwser the orginal question. I'm using the http://www.feedforall.com rss-to-html, and actually calling it via a php include file, which is working out great. I'm looking to use it a few other places as well. With the program they send you, you could actually instert your feed, into a page. I'm using it on this site as well with a bmw feed from yahoo. www.bmwtraderonline.com scroll to the bottom. I'll need to clean it up a bit, bit they are helpful articles and the text is printed to the page, to give it some more content.

Hi carminejg3,
Thanks for posting. That's a great implementation of the FeedForAll, so thanks for posting that.
Back to the first part of your post. You will need to remove special characters in order for the XML file to publish properly and since publishcron.cgi is only intended to take a search query and publish a static file it's not going to be able to do this for you.
So when you are adding your article titles, just make sure that they don't have the ’ which is treated differently from the ' character.

Thought I'd drop a line on this as I've dived into RSS the past year with wreckless abandon.
Basically in order to eliminate parse errors with special characters such as ', £ you must identify what your servers most liberal encoding is. Then apply that to the feed.
Combine this with the cdata command and anything you can type will output without a parse error within RSS file. :)
