Re: [Archived] bit_rss
Heya all,
I am not able to get <txp:bit_author /> to work… I am trying to read a feed from a default install of TXP.
The feed in question is here. And here is a feedburner version.
Am I doing something wrong? I noticed the raw xml for the feedburner feed has the author up in it… but that does not seem to translate to the <txp:bit_author /> tag.
Any suggestions? :)
TIA!
Cheers,
M

Re: [Archived] bit_rss
Not sure why I am not able to get the author to output… I ended-up using a tad bit of PHP to solve my prob:
<txp:php>
$sites = array("MH" => "http://www.mysite.com/"); // Add more here.
$site = bit_feed_link(array());
$locate = array_search($site, $sites);
$author = ($locate) ? $locate : "";
echo "by: ".$author;
</txp:php>
Cheers,
Micky

Re: [Archived] bit_rss
Hello, bit. Thanks for your plugin.
A couple of users of bit_rss are experiencing some problems with it. As far as I know it hasn’t been reported until now. The problem, who gives this error: “Fatal error: Call to undefined function: feed_url()” is described at this thread. Thanks in advance.

Re: [Archived] bit_rss
Hi.
About the issue reported above by pompilos, I have posted at SimplePie forum and one of the developers told me that the the SimplePie plug-in (the one made by them) wasn’t updated to work with the SimplePie 1.0, so he have updated it.
I think that this is probably the same reason why bit_rss shouldn’t work with SimplePie 1.0.

Re: [Archived] bit_rss
@bit – I’m looking to slightly modify bit_rss. Instead of caching to a separate file, I would like to cache the feed as an actual TXP article. I’m not sure how difficult this would be, but if you or anyone here can help me out that would be great!
Thanks in advance!

Re: [Archived] bit_rss
FYI
…wasn’t updated to work with the SimplePie 1.0
The original SimplePie for TXP code was updated to version 1.2.1 (Discontinued) to work with SP 1.0.

Re: [Archived] bit_rss
Maniqui – did you ever get simplepie working?
even after downloading plugin again, I get the error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method SimplePie::set_feed_url() in \textpattern\lib\txplib_misc.php(508) : eval()’d code on line 14
are there any other rss-feed solutions?

Re: [Archived] bit_rss
I tried with the latest version of simplepie.inc … and the most recent Simplepie plugin. Would like to know if anyone has this combination working with 4.0.5 and PHP 5+.
Sorry – this is the wrong thread to post in.

I recently used a this jQuery plugin… And you could skip jQuery altogether and use the Google code directly.
I personally have had no probs with BitRss, and opt to use that for most things… Additionally, the above is a JS solution, so not optimal if users have JS turned off.
Anyway, just thought I would mention.

Re: [Archived] bit_rss
I just installed the plugin. It works fine, but I get the following message in testing status (once for each feed item):
Tag error: <txp:bit_rss feed=“http://www.cofe.anglican.org/news/news.rss”/> -> Textpattern Notice: tag is deprecated on line 2589
I’m presuming that this is connected to the update to TextPattern 4.06, as a quick Google search shows I’m not the only one getting it.
