Extension talk:SimpleFeed

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 This is a big problem since there are many php generated feeds. Could this be fixed?


 * 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 tags

Try changing $feed->feed_url($args['url']); to $feed->set_feed_url($args['url']);

How to install
I couldn't make it work using the provided instructions either. This worked for me
 * 1) Save SimpleFeed.php to /extensions
 * 2) Save simplepie.inc to /extensions
 * 3) Create /extensions/cache. Set correct write permission (chmod). Webserver-user should be allowed to write.
 * 4) 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.

MediaWiki 1.10 Support
Anyone get this to work in MediaWiki 1.10?

Not Yet
I get Fatal error: Call to undefined method SimplePie::feed_url in / /SimpleFeed.php on line 71

The other SimplePie extension does not work either.

Any help would be appreciated.
