Originally started at http://forum.madebyfrog.com/topic/916: Well I decided to make a bran new thread to better emphasize this issue. I uninstalled the RSS parser from my installation by unticking RSS Parser in the Administration tab, refreshed the page and saw that the RSS tab had vanished and so did the RSS Parser plugin name in the plugin list, then deleted the rss folder in the plugins directory. After that, I reuploaded a brand new copy of the rss folder into the plugins directory after refreshing my ftp client, refreshed the Administration tab to see the RSS Parser plugin name appear again, ticked the box next to the name, and then refreshed the page to see the RSS tab appear at the top. I went to the RSS tab and saw the “This plugin is not installed” at the bottom of the page. I made sure PDO was installed by going to php.ini and checking with my webhosting provider (hostmonster). Could anyone assist me with this issue, please? |

Hi windrider07, I will rewrite the plugin soon as it needs updating. I’m a little busy with a user registration plugin but shall be finished in a couple of days if you can hang on… |

windrider, could you try this out for me: click the download link to get a new version. Rewrote all of the database functions so will hopefully work for you now… you shouldn’t need to do anything other than delete the old files from plugins/rss and replace them with these. let me know how you get on with it… |

It gave me the code now but when I tried out the code (replaced the entire code on the main page with the code given to me by the plugin), it gave me this: Fatal error: Class ‘Record’ not found in /home1/sparkonl/public_html/frog/plugins/sqlite3/index.php on line 44 |

could you post the web address where you are parsing the RSS to? |

That’s really confusing – I’ve just had a look at the file you mention and line 44 is the update xml reference:
Do you use SQLite? If not, is it enabled in the backend? |

Yes, the SQLite 3 plugin is ticked in the Administration tab. My site is located at http://sparkonline.net. |

do you want to try disabling sqlite3 in the admin and see if that helps |

Now it says: Warning: MagpieRSS: Failed to parse RSS file. (mismatched tag at line 108, column 2) in /home1/sparkonl/public_html/frog/plugins/rss/inc/rss_fetch.inc on line 238 Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home1/sparkonl/public_html/frog/plugins/rss/index.php(42) : eval()‘d code on line 3 By the way, the feed that I put in was: http://sparkonline.net/forums/viewforum.php?f=3 |

That doesn’t appear to be a valid RSS feed – that may be why you are getting headaches! Try using a valid feed :
Then let me know if it starts working! |

Alright I am using the Smartfeed mod by phpBB seen at http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=596879&start=705 to generate the RSS feed URL for my site. I got this url generated: http://sparkonline.net/forums/smartfeed.php?u=2&e=VnyMLXx3BGqAXgjlphYUCl08WagBTCJyfzjJWsPCY_ykWz1UGCIfxA..&lastvisit=1&filter_foes=1&forum=3&forum=13&forum=14&firstpostonly=1&limit=3_MONTH&count_limit=10&sort_by=user&feed_type=RSS2.0&feed_style=COMPACT&max_word_size=100. When I put that into the RSS Parser plugin, I get this on my site: An error occurred running phpBB Smartfeed. As a result, no content can be returned. Use this error information as a guide to correcting the problem. Please note that you must use this program to create a URL that can be used with phpBB Smartfeed. The error is: phpBB Smartfeed does not accept the feed_type parameter value given or the feed_type parameter is absent. Any ideas? EDIT: Turns out the RSS Parser plugin was cutting off the url I was using after I had saved it and so I got the error. I shrunk the url using Tinyurl.com and it’s working now. |

ah ha – that is a long url. I can’t remember what the database maxvalue was – you could always edit that via phpMyAdmin or other tool to allow this url. Glad it’s working for you now though! |
