[edit] Extension does not work with feeds generated by php-scripts
Hi, I have a problem it seems your extension does not work with feeds generated by php-scripts.
It does not show anything, only a blank page.
The URL of my RSS feed: http://galdom.portal-werner.de/e107_plugins/rss_menu/rss.php?1.2
- Ditto. When I paste your BBC example into my page, I just get the same thing as the output. MatthewBurton 20:56, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
- This extension really does not work for me. Just crashes the page on which I try to include the <feed> tags. --128.233.100.42 23:40, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
- This is a big problem since there are many php generated feeds. Could this be fixed? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.127.150.121 (talk • contribs) . Please sign your posts with ~~~~! 20:20, 23 July 2007

[edit] How to install
I couldn't make it work using the provided instructions either. This worked for me
- Save SimpleFeed.php to /extensions
- Save simplepie.inc to /extensions
- Create /extensions/cache. Set correct write permission (chmod). Webserver-user should be allowed to write.
- Add include("./extensions/SimpleFeed.php"); to LocalSettings.php. Last line works fine.
Note: If you are in a corporate environment, check out any proxy servers or firewalls
SimplePie have their own extension for MediaWiki. I installed that first and the instructions are really good. However, you are not able to modify the layout as much as with SimpleFeed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 194.19.86.146 (talk • contribs) .

Got errors when using include("./extensions/SimpleFeed.php");, replacing by require_once("$IP/extensions/SimpleFeed.php"); helped. --sandb 15 Oct 2009
[edit] MediaWiki 1.10 Support
Anyone get this to work in MediaWiki 1.10? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 148.177.1.211 (talk • contribs) . Please sign your posts with ~~~~! 16:10, 29 June 2007
- Not Yet
I get
Fatal error: Call to undefined method SimplePie::feed_url() in /<my directory>/SimpleFeed.php on line 71
The other SimplePie extension does not work either.
Any help would be appreciated.

- See Extension:SimpleFeed#SimplePie_version_problem--Arcy 18:39, 7 November 2007 (UTC) That worked for me.
[edit] Cache Directory
When installing, I had to put the cache directory in the root wiki folder, rather than extensions/. Anything else gave me an error. Seems that SimplePie looks there. Cheezerman 19:08, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
- No error for me, but also nothing in the cache folder. (Le Pubard)
- I had to change something in simplepie.inc :
- before : var $cache_location = './cache';
- after : var $cache_location = 'extensions/cache';

[edit] gzinflate()
I'm trying to use SimpleFeed with simplepie 1.1.1, php 5.1.1, and mediawiki 1.11
Whenever I load a page with <feed> it returns
Warning: gzinflate() [function.gzinflate]: data error in W:\www\wi\extensions\simplepie.inc on line 7743

[edit] Howto use SimplePie Addons
Hi,
I tried to use one of the SimplePie Addons (i.e. http://simplepie.org/wiki/addons/yahoo_weather)
By adding
require_once('simplepie_yahoo_weather.inc');
[...]
$itemwikitext = str_replace('{WEATHER_CONDITION}', $weather->get_condition(), $itemwikitext);
I just get the error
Fatal error: Call to a member function get_condition() on a non-object in /is/htdocs/wp1064305_TTQI81XDD8/www/wiki/extensions/SimpleFeed.php on line 114
But isn't that definied in simplepie_yahoo_weather.inc? I'm using the file from Ryan [1] —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Crazyelk (talk • contribs) . Please sign your posts with ~~~~! 19:22, 7 April 2008

[edit] In reverse order
aug 28: I think there's a bug when displaying multiple feed-tags on one page. I made a page with feeds from various sources on a clean install and the Wiki is grinding to a halt after a few refreshes.
Hi,
This extension almost works fine but as for my Hungarian wiki, it publicate the feeds in reverse order. The latest news are below... :( What should I do? Thanks! 89.132.222.148 00:49, 22 August 2008 (UTC) (NetBandita)
- after some minutes....
- Hmmm.... I have solved. :D In the simplepie.inc there is in the line of 515 the next 'var': var $order_by_date = false; You should change it from true to false. That's all. :)

[edit] https feeds
I had trouble using this extension with https-feeds. Turns out that the extension sends "ssl://$host" as the hostname in the Host header.
My ugly fix:

[edit] Firefox CSS issues in Mediawiki 1.14
Is anyone else having issues with this extension and importing common.css, etc for Mediawiki 1.14? With my install it seems to be overriding things that should be content type of type/css and forcing type/html which ends up breaking the css import. Anyone else see this and know how to fix it? 16 April 2009 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.110.234.160 (talk • contribs) . Please sign your posts with ~~~~!
[edit] Outputting HTML tags
I'm noticing that URLs within the {DESCRIPTION} area are being transcluded in full markup: e.g. <a href="mylink">link text</a> Can this be fixed in any way? Coldmachine 20:39, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
I have the same problem. Any solution or advice,please? --Biris 10:53, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
[edit] cURL error 6: Couldn't resolve host 'http:'
If I attempt to paste:
<feed url="http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_uk_edition/front_page/rss.xml">
== [{PERMALINK} {TITLE}] ==
'''{DATE}, by {AUTHOR}'''
{DESCRIPTION}
</feed>
I get the error: "cURL error 6: Couldn't resolve host 'http:'"
<feed>http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_uk_edition/front_page/rss.xml</feed> works though.
I have mediawiki 1.7.1. I installed simplepie and simplefeed in March 2008.
i would like to cusomize my feeds, how would I fix this error? Odessaukrain2 16:48, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
- Maybe try to update your MW. There's a new Simplepie version too, 1.2 released in July. But if other feeds work fine maybe its a defect in the feed you're trying to use. --Kenny5 03:37, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
[edit] PHP 5.3 problems
This extension does not work on my PHP 5.3 system. Error message:
PHP Warning: Parameter 3 to parseFeed() expected to be a reference, value given in /srv/www/htdocs/wiki/includes/parser/Parser.php on line 3243
I had to change the following line
function parseFeed($input, $args, &$parser)
to
function parseFeed($input, $args, $parser)
BTW: This error seems to be quite common for PHP applications after upgrade to PHP 5.3.
