aks_rss : RSS parser and aggregator

laptophobo · 2010-03-14 01:54:28

What I ended up doing was to add this tag in my template: <h3>News Feeds</h3>
<txp:aks_rss limit=“10” form=“feed_listing” feed=“http://www.feedzilla.com/rss/health”><txp:body/></txp:aks_rss>

And the “feed_listing” form have these attributes:
<txp:if_first_article><ul class=“directory”></txp:if_first_article>
<li><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink> · <txp:posted format=”%Y-%m-%d” /></li>

It now looks like I wanted. Thanks again for all of your help out there.

Hey Ricardo,

There are a few things that could be improved on your code:

You’re using the aks_rss tag both as a container tag (containing the <txp:body /> tag) and as a single tag by calling the form="" attribute . Since you’re using a forn I’m suspecting the contained tag doesn’t get executed. You’re supposed to use only one.
The latest version of aks_rss supports the wraptag and breaktag attributes, so might as well use those
Why use the ? It’s a redundant element since you could put the class on the list-item (breakclass)

So the code could be simplified to:

a single tag:

<txp:aks_rss limit="10" form="feed_listing" feed="http://www.feedzilla.com/rss/health" wraptag="ul" break="li" class="directory" breakclass="feed" />

the form:

<txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink> · <span class=“published”><txp:posted format=”%Y-%m-%d” /></span>

Cheers,

Jan

Jan,
That cleaned up things a bit. And I can see that using the break tags may eliminate some form attributes. But when I implemented your changes, as written, my list structure did not appear like I wanted. I was also getting a funny “a” character before and after the date stamp. I did find that I had a couple of unnecessary tags though. So, here’s what I’m now working with:

On the Template: <txp:aks_rss limit=“10” form=“feed_listing” feed=“http://www.feedzilla.com/rss/health” class=“directory” breakclass=“feed” />

On the Form: <li><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink> · <txp:posted format=”%Y-%m-%d” /></li>

FYI: The span class=feed is this simply this: font-size: 9px;

Hello (Jan?)
I’m back again with a news feed problem. I’m working on a new site that needs a news feed section and though I thought I’d copied all of the plug-ins, tags, and whatnot to make this news feed work, I’m getting the following error message on top of my webpage instead:
Tag error: <txp:aks_rss limit=“10” form=“feed_listing” feed=“http://www.npr.org/rss/rss.php?id=1027” class=“directory” breakclass=“feed” /> -> Textpattern Notice: Unknown tag attribute: breakclass on line 699
Tag error: <txp:aks_rss limit=“10” form=“feed_listing” feed=“http://www.npr.org/rss/rss.php?id=1027” class=“directory” breakclass=“feed” /> -> : Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated on line 737

The tag I’m using (which works fine on my working website) is: <txp:aks_rss limit=“10” form=“feed_listing” feed=“http://www.npr.org/rss/rss.php?id=1027” class=“directory” breakclass=“feed” />

I have installed the aks_rss plug-in, and the SimplePie Plugin. (I have placed the simplepie.inc file in the textpattern>lib directory)

(I seem to remember that the SimplePie plug-in does not need to be turned on since only the simplepie.inc file is required. So, per my working site that has SimplePie plug-in turned off, i’ve done the same on this one.)

Ideas anyone? Thanks so much.

Hi Ricardo (or Richard?)

Tag error: <txp:aks_rss limit=“10” form=“feed_listing” feed=“http://www.npr.org/rss/rss.php?id=1027” class=“directory” breakclass=“feed” /> -> Textpattern Notice: Unknown tag attribute: breakclass on line 699

The breakclass attribute is new to the latest version of aks_rss (0.1.6), it seems like you may have an older version installed.

You’re correct, you don’t need the simplepie plugin at all (no need to install it), you just need the simplepie script. aks_rss and the simplepie plugin, both rely on the simplepie script, but they have nothing to do with eachother.

I’m not sure about the second error you’re getting, but maybe it’ll go to if you upgrade aks_rss?

Jan,

Thanks for your assistance.
I replaced the version I had (which appeared to be 0.1.6) with another version of 0.1.6, but this time I used the simplepie.inc script from the aks_rss folder and not Simple Pie’s. With that done, I am now getting the news feed in the spot where I want it to view, but I’m still getting the error line above the page.

It’s a warning PHP 5.3 on Simplepie library. Defect #150

Hide warning, set in php.ini or .htaccess:

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED

Please, read this great post (Thank to JanDW)
Attribute class uses only with wraptag and attribute breakclass uses only with break

On the Form: <li><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink> · <txp:posted format=”%Y-%m-%d” /></li>

It’s a wrong… Check your html code or read this post. :)

Hi makss,

You say to: Hide warning, set in php.ini or .htaccess. But, I’m unable to locate the php.ini file and the .htaccess file I did locate will not let me edit it.

help.

May be simple set in Textpattern Production Status to Live (menu Admin \ Preferences \ Production Status)

laptophobo · 2010-04-06 10:43:08

YES! Switching to Live stopped the error messages. I’ll make a big note of that. Thanks so much for your help on this Makss (and you too Jan.)

Just found on Twitter:

“@BlasterBo: SimplePie Plugin generates “offset error” w. #textpattern 4.2.0 and #php 5.3.2 .. just by loading the plugin .. how to aggregate rss feeds?”

I recommended to try aks_rss but maybe some kind sole should give feedback on this isssue (reproducible, confirmation, how to fix, etc.).

Edit:

“@BlasterBo: @Markus_Merz Thanks for the tip .. but it seems the simplepie.inc file (also used by aks_rss) is my issue – are you running it on php5.3.2 ?”

The error output can actually been seen here:

“@BlasterBo: @Markus_Merz I’m not that good in PHP .. but as far as I can read it comes down to function EVAL on PHP .. http://bit.ly/d6sNcM”

The error outputs starts with and repeats this error on multiple lines. I am wondering about the directory structure ‘httpd.www/’:

Notice: Undefined offset: 8192 in /customers/papskubber.dk/papskubber.dk/httpd.www/textpattern/lib/simplepie.inc  on line 737

Tag error:  <txp:aks_rss feed="http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_tech.rss" form="rss"  order="desc" wraptag="ul" /> ->  : Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated  on line 737

textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(594) : eval()'d code:99 aks_rss()
textpattern/publish.php:1106 aks_rss()
textpattern/publish.php:1028 processTags()
textpattern/publish/taghandlers.php:3084 parse()
textpattern/publish.php:1106 if_section()
textpattern/publish.php:1041 processTags()
textpattern/publish/taghandlers.php:3007 parse()
textpattern/publish.php:1106 if_category()
textpattern/publish.php:1041 processTags()
textpattern/publish.php:506 parse()

Let’s hope this is only an easy local problem (directory structure?).
