RSS-feed-blocks don't work for me

[Cartis]

I am trying to use the built-in RSS-feed-function but it doesn't seem to work.
The RSS-blocks turn up empty regardless of the RSS I use.
Please help.

Your host have closed the option on the server to fetch the feeds.
They need to set the Fopen option to ON for it to work.
I doubt they will if they have closed it as it is a security issue to have it open

If you look at the errors, you see that they have it closed, so you need to contact your host and ask them to enable the external links options.

Thanks for the fast reply.

Isn't there any way around this?
I also have the site www.grumpygents.com with a RSS-feed that works. It is placed at the same host.

No way around this inside SMF or TP, TP only render the feex, it doesent make or hold the settings for it.

It's a host account issue, so if it works on the same host on another account, i cant see why they have closed it for this site your asking about.
But there is nothing we can do to help, you host needs to change the settings for your account for the site your asking about.

I talked to the support at the hotel. They have (as you say) set Fopen to OFF for security reason.
But they refer to cURL as a solution. Can anybody help me with this? I'm not really a programmer.

<?php

Instead of file_get_contents():

<?php
$url = "http://www.example.org/";

Try and use a php block and where they refer to a link, add in the rss feed link and save the block

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "the rss feed url here");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
