Extension talk:FeedImport

Suggested bug fixes as of 10-August-2007:
To avoid MAGPIE_DIR already defined error, at line 44 replace define('MAGPIE_DIR', '/opt/local/lib/php/magpierss/'); with if (!isset(MAGPIE_DIR)) { define('MAGPIE_DIR', '/opt/local/lib/php/magpierss/'); } and to avoid short is undefined error, fix the mistake at line 106: $reverse = isset($args["short"]); should be $short = isset($args["short"]);

What versions of mediawiki does this work with? I am hoping 1.7.

Is there Anyway to speed up the amount of time it takes for FeedImport to check and display RSS links
I want to increase the time to like 1-2 mins. Any ideas?
 * If you want to reduce the delay between the update of a feed and that change being reflected on the wiki page you might need to change magpierss, as that's doing the caching. --PhilFry 01:56, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks PhilFry. Yeah I'm researching that now.  Any suggestions of where to modify this specifically.  I have the RSS working on my own WIKI and what I am looking to do is have an instant update of New Articles from a specific NAMESPACE on the Wiki.  --Zezek 02:07, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

minor bug fix at line 217
i added "isset($args["date_timestamp"]) and" to the source code available here. I got a a lot of notices like "Undefined index: date_timestamp ..." within my log files before.

Does this work with Bugzilla feeds?
I generate Bugzilla RSS feeds based on queries (e.g., a list of all open bugs for a given release), and want to include them in certain wiki pages. These work fine in the browser, but

|template=Template:RSSTemplate (where  equals the feed url coming from Bugzilla, which is quite long, and Template:RSSTemplate is based on the BBC template from your example) simply results in a link for the feed, but with no feed entries.

The following works fine: http://mmamania.com/feed/. On the other hand, when I try the 'http://www.legalservices.gov.uk/xml/rss/cdsnewsupdates/rss.xml' feed (mentioned in a previous issue on this page), I just get a list of empty bullets. Thanks! -- com^lnssi^roberts^michael 1/10/08
