CGFeedMaker doesn't work

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: Select all
{CGFeedMaker action='autodiscovery' feed='news'}
and then added this on the page itself:
Code: Select all
{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: Select all
<!-- 0.16612 / 10 / 7013308 / 7273132 -->
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
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)

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?
