[SOLVED] - Severe: CGFeedMaker not linking correct feeds

[saltydog]

I am using CGFeedMake 1.0.3 and CMSMS 1.5.1 but I am experiencing a severe problem: all the feeds in my list are pointing to the same article! The feed  corretcly lists the title for each article, but the link is the same for each one!

[saltydog]

UPDATE: I was doing some debuggin and I have found that the link is malformed. Here it is what CGFeedMaker writes in the feed:

Code: Select all

index.php?mact=News,cntnt01,detail,0&cntnt01articleid=190

and this is the correct link:

Code: Select all

index.php?mact=News,cntnt01,detail,0&cntnt01articleid=190

For some reason, CGFeedMaker transposes the ampersand character with & , which is not recognized by the reader and it brings to another article (always the same).

Check if you are using latest feedmaker, and if sp after upgrading, make sure, that you have the latest default template. You get that by restoring it, as an upgrade doesnt touch your template.

Ronny,

I have removed and reinstalled new version of CGFeedMaker and checked that latest template is in use. Now it is even worst: the feed doesn't work and gives this error:

Code: Select all

string(134) "Smarty error: [in temporary template line 34]: [plugin] modifier 'us_date_format' is not implemented (core.load_plugins.php, line 124)" 

PS: I have CGExtensions 1.14.1

Besides this error, all accented chars and html special chars are escaped with the &xxx; form, and this doesn't work...

I'm really missing the RSS functionality of the News module. My sites are all without feeds now...

[RonnyK]

In SVN a change has been made, for non-english languages, to take the rfc_date for the pubdate....

Yes, this fixes just the date issue, but the links are still wrong... There is "&" into the url that breaks it. It should just be "&"

UPDATE: the links problem has been fixed by enabling pretty urls in the config file. I still have some problem with entities..

See my problems with special characters an News in conjunction with feeds:

http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php/topic,29418.0.html

The problem was apparently that my previous editor FCKeditorX transformed special characters to & and resaving them using TinyMCE solved this problem.

No, this sounds more like your news-reader has a problem (?). Does the feed validate now?! Try

{$entry->moreurl|replace:"&":"&"}

as a workaround if you want it to work with your reader anyway. You got the idea...

I have fixed the link problem by enabling pretty urls. Still having validation issues on italian accented chars (À é etc..)

[saltydog]

I finally FIXED all the issues! I had to play with combination of "htmltenities" and "html_entity_decode", but now all my feeds validate correctly.

This is the past part of the template (the foresch loop) where I made modifications:

Code: Select all

   {foreach from=$items item='entry'}
    <item>
      <title>{$entry->title|htmlentities}</title>
      <link>{$entry->moreurl}</link>
      <description>{if isset($entry->summary)}{$entry->summary|htmlentities|strip_tags|summarize:40}{else}{$entry->content|htmlentities|strip_tags|summarize:40}{/if}</description>
      <pubDate>{$entry->postdate|rfc_date}</pubDate>
      <guid>{$entry->moreurl}</guid>
    </item>
    {/foreach}

Hello, where did you change anything for this problem ?
Thx a lot

[farhadprm]

I have also the same problem:

Invalid at the top level of the document.
Line: 1 Character: 1

string(134) "Smarty error: [in temporary template line 34]: [plugin] modifier 'us_date_format' is not implemented (core.load_plugins.php, line 124)"

How I can fix this? I downloaded the 1.0.4 version of CGFeedMaker from SVN but it did not work the same. My site's language is Italian.

Thanks
