Title: rss not working?
Post by: jakemelon on February 11, 2007, 08:30:43 PM

Hi,

I am trying to get the RSS feed to work in a block but it just always displays a blank block. I searched the forums and it seems like there are many solutions out there to get RSS news to display in TP. Question is how to make the standard built-in function work without any additional code? Is it just broken or just needs to be configured correctly?

If the built-in function cannot be made to work what is the best and easiest solution to add RSS news to either an article or a block?

thanks

jake

If you paste the RSS url into the box on the RSS Feed block it should work. What feed is it?

Not working, just gives me a blank box. Same thing if I use any Yahoo feed.

I dont know why you cant get your feeds to work.
Just tested them and they show up just fine.

Look at the left hand top bock

Created a block, made it an rss block from the list, wrote the name for the block, placed the link in the url feald
Saved, and checked it to be on and it works.

I see you have the free hosting, it might be that they have blocked their free custmers from rss and streaming.
I read something about it on SMF forums not to long ago
