Re: RSS feed is not displayed on page

ok - that was it... I used the IP address of the server that this instance of mojoportal is running on, instead of the fully qualified URL/domain name and now the feed seems to be working just fine... : )

thanks for helping me work through that! : )

Re: RSS feed is not displayed on page

I'm still not quite sure how the cache part of it works though... I mean - I want it to pick up on anything new right away... so I'm thinking I need to change this value to like "5" or something, so that it will at least check every 5 minutes for new posts in the forum...

Now it seems as though I cannot get valid XML out of the forums...

Re: RSS feed is not displayed on page

That error means it got a web response but the content of the web response was not a feed. A web page url entered as a feed url would do that or if the feed url was throwing an error page instead of a feed, but in that case there should be a separate error logged from the forum feedurl in addition to the one logged by feed manager. I would check the feed again and check the url for the feed in feed manager.

Actually looking at the feed url you posted it doesn't look like the correct format for the latest version of mojoportal, I would copy it again from the feed icon link in the forum. In the new format we have combined the module id and item id into one ~ separated parameter parameter like this:

/Forums/RSS.aspx?pageid=5&m=34~2

another thing you could try if the forum is on the same site as the feed, a relative url in the format ~/Forums/RSS.aspx... might work there.

Thanks for the beers! Much appreciated.
