Hallo,

new downloads of RealBlog_XH und Comments_XH are available. Both Plugins are data-compatible with older versions, updates can be made easily, just do not upload the folder "content" to the webserver.

=====================================================

RealBlog_XH 1.5.3

- html5 valid output
- Blogs in second languages and subsites are possible now, also the RSS Feed works in second languages and subsites now.

Download: http://www.ge-webdesign.de/cmsimpleplugins/?Eigene_Plugins:realblog_XH

=====================================================

Comments_XH 2.7

- html5 valid output
- Function "enable / disable Captcha" improved
- New comments now also can be added in the backend (configurable)

unfortunately i have tried out realblog xh in many forms, and every time i try i find that the RSS does not work properly. when i use google reader i have over 100 different feeds which all give consistent and up to date news but realblog ( although looking correct on the actual website by displaying news stories), does not reflect the same news from the rss link.

http://www.inspired-media-creative.com/cmsrb/?WebLog - i have 2 stories here but on google reader only the 'Hello' article is visible but not the 'sup dude' article. i have checked the rss box for both stories etc...

i will await your reply.

thanks

Hi kweku,

have a look at the result of validating the feed: http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.inspired-media-creative.com%2Fcmsrb%2Fplugins%2Frealblog%2Frss%2Fnewsfeed-en.xml

For one thing, you have forgotten to change some settings in the plugin's config (the email address and the domain name).

The problem with google reader is probably caused by the missing guid element.

Hello,

I can see both entries in the feed: http://www.inspired-media-creative.com/cmsrb/plugins/realblog/rss/newsfeed-en.xml

The most settings for rss you will find in the language files of the plugin,

Gert

PS: At first you should check your settings, have found something like this in your feed:

Code: Select all

<link>http://www.irgendwas.de/ ... </link>

That's the setting of the fresh download

[kweku]

thanks for the response guys, however...

there is still a problem of how realblog is handling rss. even after i changed the rss links i checked the xml file and found that all the URL and link tags had not updated to reflect
the changes i made in admin?

Is your domain http://www.irgendwas.de/

Is your Blog page named "Blog"

I don't think so ... please change it in the language settings of your RealBlog Plugin,

Gert

hello Gert,

i think you may have misunderstood my reply.

the xml you are looking at is the same one i currently have. i was assuming that when i go into Realblog settings and change the rss settings, the changes would reflect on the xml ?

so, from your reply it seems that we are supposed to manually change the detail in the xml file?

if so, this defeats the purpose of having an editable plugin which has rss options?

sorry for my ignorance please elaborate if i have misunderstood how realblog works

thanks

Hi kweku, hi Gert,

all the URL and link tags had not updated to reflect
the changes i made in admin?

You have to logout first to trigger the RSS feed to be created with the new settings.

[Gert]

Hi kweku,

is your xml file writeable? (newsfeed-en.xml => chmod 666)

Gert

PS: As I see - its working now

But in your rss settings the Blog page still seems to be "Blog", but on the Website it is named "WebLog", so the links in the rss feed are wrong.

Code: Select all



if (!$adm)
{
    // recover variables from outsite the function
    global $pth, $sn, $plugin_tx, $plugin_cf, $u, $s, $c, $sl, $f, $tx, $cal_format, $hjs;

The feed will not be created as long as one stays in admin mode.
