CGFeedMaker doesn't work

admsh · **Posted:** Thu Oct 22, 2009 4:49 pm

i'm pulling out my hair trying to understand what it is i'm doing wrong. i've place this tag in the metadata section of a page that contains my news:

Code:

{CGFeedMaker action='autodiscovery' feed='news'}

and then added this on the page itself:

Code:

{GFeedMaker action='rsslink' feed='news' text='RSS News Feed' image='uploads/images/rssNew.jpg' imageclass='rssImage' linkclass="rssLink"}

this generates a link to an empty page that contains this in the code:

Code:

pretty URLs are enabled, everything else on all the websites i've tried works fine. but this just doesn't work... what am i not understanding? i've tried on 4 different installations of CMSMS to no avail - i get the same result. :(

I diagnosed a problem with CGFeedmaker and pretty urls related to the mod_rewrite stuff...

site.com/feeds/FEEDNAME.rss. would work, but site.com/feeds/FEEDNAME.rss would just show the stats like you pasted.

try reverting to the CMSMS sample .htaccess file.

i am using the .htaccess that came with cmsms. it seems that the problem is in the URL though, you're right - there's no dot before the extension. what i get is:

feed://www.website.org/feeds/newsrss

instead of -

feed://www.website.org/feeds/news.rss

i've tried adding the dot in the extension field in CGFeedMaker, but to no avail. not sure what i need to do to make the address appear as it should...

try leaving the extension field blank.

when i do that there's just no extension at all and i get an error message

Quote:

The feed could not be loaded because the content is not in a known feed format

what's missing is the dot before the extension, everything else seems to be working fine. am i the only one getting this error? i can insert a manual link on the page to the RSS feed, but of course the autodiscovery link is broken.

same error for two of my site since I updated the module :/

blank page in both cases

the correct url should be : www.mysite.fr/feed/news.html

but the functional url is http://www.mysite.fr/feeds/newsrss.html

the extension field is already blank.

Me too... the same error and It was working... so it must be a bug in the last update...

(I don't even have pretty URLs working and all was OK)

There's a new version coming out today probably.

keep an eye out on calguy1000.com for the announcement.

For what it might be worth, I submitted bug 4230 on this in the wee hours this morning, which includes the simple code fix that worked for me.

I'll watch for the new version...

Im sorry, but I still have this problem in version 1.0.9.
Maby Im doing wrong:
So in my page where news are: I just pasted it:
{news category='mynews number='10'} {CGFeedMaker action='autodiscovery' feed='news'}

My browser auto detects URL http://url/feeds/news.rss but Internet Explorer cannot display this feed, my all rss readers also cant validate that url.

So when I modify URL to http://if.ktu.lt/feeds/news; http://if.ktu.lt/feeds/newsrss http://url/feeds/news.rss.rss or http://url/feeds/news.rss.xml etc.. it shows the blank page and in the source I can the only this:

my config:
$config['url_rewriting'] = 'mod_rewrite';
$config['page_extension'] = '';
$config['use_hierarchy'] = true;

sorry guys but why its so confusing?
