Magpie RSS aggregation issues.
Recently, I became a member of a blogging network that uses Magpie RSS to aggregate our feeds. I am the only one to use TXP (everyone else uses WP or Blogger), and my feed simply will not show up on the site. I tried changing the MIME type to text/xml, and it still didn’t work.
We tried to make it work with both ATOM and RSS feeds with no luck.
Any suggestions?

Re: Magpie RSS aggregation issues.
I am not sure if this is a related problem or not, but here its goes::
I can successful use Magpie to aggregate both ATOM and RSS feeds, BUT only if the cache has been deleted. The first time the file has been uploaded in the cache directory it works fine, but once an attempt has been made to update the cache an error developes. This error only happens with my TEXTPATTERN Feed, while others work fine.
Here is my RSS Output after an update…

Re: Magpie RSS aggregation issues.
For those of you who are interested…. I have replaced all my Magpie files for the latest version and so far the problem has not returned!
Unfortunately this is not a resoled issue! As the problem has returned !!!!!!!!
Please move the post back to the appropriate forum, thanks.

Have similar problem here . Uses feed2JS which uses magpie (latest version). The behavior of the feed is very strange as it appears ok and then just disappears until the next day (unless I manually delete the cache in the server)

Re: Magpie RSS aggregation issues.
Perhaps someone can take this to an appropriate Magpie forum, and find out some more details there?

Great idea, but it does seem txp related as its the only feed I am having problems with. I was thinking it could be something related the latest modified date??? and/or the cache!

Re: Magpie RSS aggregation issues.
It’s not a declaration of “it’s not Textpattern’s fault”, but rather “we don’t know how Magpie works or is supposed to work (specifically), so we couldn’t tell you why it doesn’t work with Textpattern.”

Re: Magpie RSS aggregation issues.
<strike>Ok, it might be premature but it might be the server’s fault. I have recently (2-3 days ago) moved my site to textdrive and all problems have disappeared. Yet again maybe I should wait for a couple of weeks before I commit myself to it but all is running as smooth as butter. (give or take a couple of screw ups which were my fault during the move:).</strike>
Had to say it didn’t I?
><strong>Edit</strong>
As I am not able to post in another way as this topic is closed, I thought, I might as well post <strike>the</strike> my solution to the problem here. I created a cron job reading:
<code>rm /route/to/directory/*</code> in textdrive and the cache is deleted automatically every 12 hours.
note that /route/to/directory/ should be replaced to the absolute route of the cache file
ie in the case of textdrive
<code>rm /users/home/USERNAME/web/public/ROUTE/TO/DIRECTORY/*</code>
