Cannot modify header information
I installed the RSS Extension and if I want to use it, I get the error: Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at/kunden /140041_45136/cr-eu/start/ticopedia/extensions/rss.php:1) in /kunden/140041_45136/cr-eu/start /ticopedia/includes/WebResponse.php on line 10

I use Mediawiki-Version 1.13 (www.ticopedia.de)

What should I do ? What I have to change in teh rss.php or in the webResponse.php ?? --88.78.37.161 17:27, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Incompatibility with MW 1.12
Hi all, I have an incompatibility using this plugin, it produces a SQL DB error... It says that the table mw_cur doesn't exist. OK, it was the fix that I did not applied correctly...--Rmatt 14:45, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Internationalisation problems
When I try to read a feed on french, UTF-8 encoded, I have a problem. If I add the parameter charset=UTF-8 the text is cutten after the first exotic character (é, à...) and the rest of the text do not appear.

If I remove this parameter theses characters all well processed, but the apostrophs (') are replaced by (?). Any ideas ? I did not install any additional iconv library.

Misformatted text
I'm not sure if it's rss.php or the Magpie parser at fault, but RSS feeds with embedded &lt;pre&gt;&hellip;&lt;/pre&gt; tags are not displayed properly. All the newlines are stripped out and replaced with spaces, which ruins the formatting. &mdash;Psychonaut 14:23, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Notitle
Hi, great work, however I miss "notitle" option when showing RSS feed. I have pages where I define RSS feed and pages where I show various feeds. Always showing source of RSS feed (name of the site + mediawiki page) is really annoying. It would be great if "notitle" option is inclueded into next ver.

Formatting of feeds
This is a great extension but for some reason I can't seem to get my wordpress feed to work. I'm using a wordpress category feed http://ehealth.oerc.ox.ac.uk/?feed=rss2&cat=3. is this formatting no good for your extension. I'm getting the failure message.

Text Editors
I tried using nano to create the rss.php and the extension just won't work! Using Vi did the trick. --202.52.76.99 02:33, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Chinese language Feed Problem
When I used it to read a Chinese Simplified Language Feed (the charset is UTF-8) It doesn't work. What I saw are NOT normal words

Update: This Problem is resoloved. Just add a line to rss.php : define('MAGPIE_OUTPUT_ENCODING', 'UTF-8');

Proposed Patch (error handling)
sometimes, feeds aren't as clean as they should be. the rss extension was throwing php errors at me, so I added some checks to make sure we have the feed (and date in it) correctly from magpie:

I can't get the parameters to work.
On my wiki site the RSS works, but I cannot get the "max=5" entries to work. I get the error message: "Error: It's not possible to get max=5." The code I'm using is: http://www.webaddress.com|max=5. Please offer suggestions if you have any. Thanks! 169.253.4.21 18:22, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Using magpie behind a proxy
I have mediawiki 1.4 set up on our intranet behind a proxy server. No matter what I try, I can't get magpie to pull any feeds through our proxy. I've changed the Snoopy.class.inc file to what I *believe* are the appropriate settings, but still I get an error like "Failed to load RSS feed from http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&feed=rss!" A working sample of Snoopy.proxy.inc and/or any other tips to get this working would be very helpful. Thanks!! 20:09, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Internationalisation problems still yet and with MW 1.14
Hi people,

I have a problem with my french feeds. They are trimmed after every character like é, è, à or even "'".

Furthermore, it is showing a problem as text on the top of the page, which is very odd, showing :
