I put rss feed block in

http://lworld.com.au/rss_factory.php?action=blogs&pid=1Blogs RSSMon, 01 Feb 2010 08:58:21 +1100Mon, 01 Feb 2010 08:58:21 +1100  is what I get if I click the Blogs RSS link

If I put http://lworld.com.au/rss_factory.php?action=blogs&pid=1 into the rss feed block just keeps loading, nothing appears.

Thanks in advance. I have been reading the forum for a few hours now, and tried every thing I can think off

Tried this also rss://lworld.com.au/rss_factory.php?action=blogs&pid=1

I too would like some info regarding RSS feeds.  I am still doing my testing.  If I add the "custom rss block" to my profiles, the users can create their own RSS.  I went ahead and tested with this RSS feed link, http://cancunwithme.com/cancun_tours/phpbb_modules/phpBB_rss.php  and it worked like a charm.

However, I am trying to use that link to replace the Forums Post RSS.  I am not using Orca, will be using PHPBB3.  With the old dolphin, I could just change the path of the links. In Dolphin 6, I could just replace the {SiteUrl}orca/....  with {SiteUrl)phpbb_modules/phpbb_rss.php When I try this approach with Dolphin 7 i get no where.  What would be the correct format to update the current "forums posts" (from Orca) to the one I have created?

It's also the same with me!  it shows just like this -->

Anyone please

Same here. I'm not really sure if this is a bug with D7 or something's wrong with my hosting account... Any updates? Thanks

Hi yes I have some updates and have it working.

First check your dolphin root for php.ini

look for

allow_url_fopen= On

make sure it says On

then

copy that php.ini file into the /modules/boonex root directory

Next

There was a ticket regarding this and has since been fixed for 7.0.1. You can however, go here:

http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/changeset/13632
Under Download in other formats: Click Zip Archive
This should download a new BxBlogsModule.php file. Once you have it, make a backup of your current BxBlogsModule.php file in the modules\boonex\blogs\classes directory, and upload/overwrite with this new one.

See if it will work for you then. The link should be something like this for Blog RSS feed:
http://www.mysite.com/rss_factory.php?action=blogs&pid=1

This works for me, but after asking asking reading reading, headbutting a few walls I asked SuperDolphin Zarcon

hehe. Good luck may the dolphins be with you

It's like magic! It worked! :D Thanks so much!

I am so happy for you!

When I learn things its my pleasure to share, so pass it forward.........

Many thanks.

Hello again.  Glad to see there is a fix.  I will dump my cache to see if that is the problem, but I can't seem to get it working.  I don't seem to have a php.ini anywhere on my server!  I did run a phpinfo, and it comes back as allow url being ON.  However, I don't seem to have a php.ini file to copy onto the modules folder.  Without it, seems not to want to work still.  ANy ideas?

Ok, still no luck.

I have created this custom RSS feed, http://cancunwithme.com/phpbb_modules/phpBB_rss.php

Since I am not using Orca forum, I created that RSS to pull the latest "forum" posts from my phpbb.

I have downloaded the new blog module file, and replaced it on my blog/classes folder

I don't have a ini.php file on my root, but allow_url... is ON.  Just in case, i created a php.ini that turns allow_url on, and placed that file on the module/boonex folder as indicated.

When I put the RSS Url on the Forums Posts block, or the RSS Feed block the info doesn't load.  Not sure why.  I ran a test, setting up a Custom Rss feed block on my profile, and when I place the RSS URL it loads fine there.

Can anyone help me?

Since then, I tried different options like {SiteUrl}/phpbb_modules....  I just got an email, from the site, about "possible security attack"...  could it be D7 blocking it, like when you try to add a URL on the photos comments/description

http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/changeset/13632

Try this fix

Thanks for the link mate.  You guys are using the rss factory function.  I set up my custom one.  I know the rss i created works, but seems dolphin 7 is blocking the output for some reason.  Could someone please cut and paste the link that shows on your "Forum Posts" block?  That might help me :)

Is there an update to being able to add RSS feeds?  

I have 2 national trade magazine sites that have RSS news feeds, that I want to add as blocks to some pages.

RSS feeds rely on proper setup of the server. Hosting is critical. Common problems. All hosting related.

1) allow_url_fopen is off. Needs to be on.
2) Curl not installed.
3) open_basedir restrictions in place
4) server not resolving dns.
5) firewall issues
6) mod_security issues
7) Other unknown security software.
