PmFeed

Description

This recipe uses lastRSS (embedded into PmFeed for you) to display RSS feeds using PmWiki markup.

You can see an example here: http://theendlessnow.com/ten/PmFeed/PmFeed

Another test here: http://ntlug.org/wiki/Main/News

Notes

Place pmfeed.php (this file)Δ into your cookbook directory (e.g. /srv/www/htdocs/pmwiki/cookbook)

Include the cookbook in your local/config.php

 include_once("$FarmD/cookbook/pmfeed.php");

Create a cache directory at pub/cache under your your PmWiki base directory. Needs to be writable by the web username.

On a page include the markup with a feed url.

Title still broken? And HTML in content?

Is this recipe being maintained? The title problem reported below is still happening... e.g. this code: (:pmfeed feed='http://www.diigo.com/rss/user/Chrisl/cios246' title='Recent Links' :) gives me a title of 'Recent Links' and then the title of the feed from the feed itself.

Also, is there any simple solution to enabling HTML links in the description of an item to be functional? Again, in the above link there are tags that should be links but are just showing as plain text.

Problem with Title

I am having a problem with the Title Option. The Followinlg line output the following Title Dirson"google.dirson.com" (:pmfeed feed='http://google.dirson.com/rss.php' showitemdescr='false' title='Dirson' max_count=10:)

and this one the following \"Dirson\""google.dirson.com" (:pmfeed feed='http://google.dirson.com/rss.php' showitemdescr='false' title="Dirson" max_count=10:)

should I write it differently or is it a bug ?

Problem with feedburner?

Can it be used with feedburner? Like this: (:pmfeed feed='http://feeds.feedburner.com/undergoogle' :)

I'm not having any success with this and can't figure it out why.

Probable causes of "Error: It's not possible to reach RSS file "

Does anyone have any idea what the probable causes of this message are? I can't get this cookbook to embed rss feeds. jd323? March 24, 2009, at 07:50 PM jd323

I was getting this and managed to fix it by replacing lastRSS 0.9.1 with v2.0.1 from here (not sure how official this is as it isn't on the supposedly official website, but it looks legit). I've updated the download. chrisy? December 03, 2018, at 11:46 PM

Problems with timeout

When the feed fails (e.g. Twitter status displayed on every page) it uses up all the php-cgi possibles locking out the wiki. A way to solve this is to add the timeout as a parameter:

        SDVA($PmFeedAltGet, array(
                '/usr/bin/curl --connect-timeout 5 -k %s',
                '/usr/bin/wget -T5 -O - %s',
                '/usr/bin/lynx -connect_timeout=5 -source %s'));

Problem with PHP function preg_replace for PHP5.5 or newer

Hi Ccox,
I'm using PmFeed a long time - and it's pretty good! Since upgrading to PHP5.5/Apache2.4 my apache_error.log has dozens of entries like e.g.

[Wed Aug 16 18:03:27.056917 2017] [:error] [pid 12356:tid 1164] [client 127.0.0.1:51374] PHP Deprecated:  preg_replace(): 
                                   The /e modifier is deprecated, use preg_replace_callback instead in [filename]

I'm no PHP developer so I would appreciate it if you may find a possibility to fix this in the PmFeed cookbook - that would be really great. Thank you very much and best regards from Germany, yours ErekL. ErekL August 16, 2017, at 11:16 AM

Updated to latest version, should fix the PHP5.5 problem. ccox August 16, 2017, at 04:12 PM

Now there's an issue with lastRSS and Call to undefined function tidy_repair_string". The recipe throws a fatal error.XES September 12, 2023, at 01:30 AM
