Using CGFeedmaker without pretty URLs problem

[joecannes]

Hi all,

I am using:

CMSMS 1.6.6 MLE
CGExtensions 1.17.6
CGFeedmaker 1.0.9

and I am not using pretty URLs and there is no .htaccess file at my root folder.

I have added the autodiscovery tag to my templates:

Code: Select all

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

and created a feed called newsEnglish with the following settings:

Feed Name/Alias: newsEnglish
Feed Extension: (I left blank)
Category: newsCategory (p.s. I created this category as well)

I have also left the Feed Extension input field blank (under the Calguys Feed Maker Settings tab)

My feed template is using the default news feed template that comes pre-installed :

and I call the link in my template with this code below:

Code: Select all

{CGFeedMaker action='rsslink' feed='newsEnglish' text='Subscribe to our RSS Feed'} 

So when I click on RSS link in my page, i get a blank page. Here is an example of how the URL is generated:

http://www.mysite.com/index.php?mact=CG ... =15&hl=eng

and I cant figure out why it does not work without using pretty URLs.

I have made previous sites using the CGFeedmaker with this same methodology, and no problem,

i.e. I used:

CMSMS 1.5.4 MLE
CGExtensions 1.15.2
CGFeedmaker 1.0.4

(p.s. I noticed that feed extension is not an option for an RSS Feed in CGFeedmaker 1.0.4, but rather a global setting, could that be an issue? )

but dont know why I am not getting my RSS feed anymore.

I dont want to go back and use previous versions of CGFeedmaker and CGExtensions, and I cant use pretty URLs.

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks,

JC

Also having this problem.  Guessing its an issue with 1.6.6, because in other versions, it's worked just fine.

I needed a quick solution to this, so I'm using Feedity (http://www.Feedity.com).

Do you have a special character in your title? Like '&'?
If so, try replacing your current title tag, in your feed template, with this:
{$entry->title|cms_html_entity_decode|htmlspecialchars}

I can confirm this problem after enabling pretty URLs the feeds are generated correctly w/o it the page is empty. My configuration:
CMSMS 1.6.7
CGFeedMaker 1.0.9
CGExtensions 1.17.9
