RSS news feed problems

Hi,

I've got a problem with Tikiwiki 1.7.1.1:

I upgraded from 1.6.1 shortly, and since then, some RSS feeds do not work anymore (they are simply empty), e.g.
http://rss.orf.at/futurezone.xmlQuestion (and all other newsfeeds from http://rss.orf.atQuestion) whereas other RSS feeds still work properly (e.g. slashdot or freshmeat).
Is the RSS from orf.at probably malformed?

I already posted that to the sourceforge tiki forums, but got no answer 😑

No idea, if the RSS feeds used to work with Tiki 1.6.1 then they may have some code changes in Tiki 1.7.1.1 that could cause problems or alternatively: some of the RSS feeds Tiki 1.6.1 was supporting were malformed and Tiki 1.7.1.1 does a better job of checking them.

Having said that I quickly checked the RSS feed you mentioned on my own Tiki 1.7 and it works fine for me.

Regards,

Pat.


Hi again!

Thanks for trying on 1.7.
I just tried it on a different tiki 1.7.1.1 installation, and the rss.orf.at RSS feeds don't work there either.

Hi Garald,

Looks like a bug in Tiki 1.7.1.1. If you have the luxury I'd go back to Tiki 1.7. Else you would have to wait for a fix. You may want to check on the SF site if there has already been a bugreport for this and if not log one yourself.

Regards,

Pat.
