In the RSS module part of Tikiwiki, incoming RSS feeds are incorrectly parsed.

Escaped entities (& ' " etc.) have to be replaced with the entities themselves when the RSS feed is viewed. However, this is not done. As a result, when a user clicks on the links, the link still has references to (&) which makes it an invalid URL.

The problem is in "parse_rss_data" function of rsslib.php

Currently, (2.2) when using the mailin feature to post to a forum, Tiki does not actually check the email until a user views the forum. Only then, is the email checked and new messages posted to the forum.

This means that the RSS feed for the forums, and modules such as last_post will not be correct until a user goes to the forum.

Instead, Tiki should check the email at regular intervals (in the same way that Tiki checks for article mail-ins.

This is an RSS feed:

It's not the traditional way of using RSS but it can be very useful :-) It permits us to get up to date info (Ex.: number of devs, number of downloads, etc.) from SourceForge, using RSS. We can then publish on http://info.tikiwiki.org/



This idea could be used for serving ads.

This is also in the same idea as:
http://dev.tikiwiki.org/Connect
http://tikiwiki.org/Viral+Tiki

Two immediate uses
# Manage the footer of all *.tikiwiki.org sites from one place
# Permit to push news & calls to action (Current version of Tiki, vote for Tiki in an Award, new release, etc)

Tiki can read and display RSS feeds: good
Tiki can read, combine and display RSS feeds : great


The next step is to import the data into Tiki and treat it like a native article / event / whatever.

If the remote article / event / whatever is modified, the item should be re-imported (but not duplicated). Using the URL to identify the uniqueness. (Some systems many use titles in the URL and if the title changes, we'll end up with a duplicate)

If you include RSS feeds in modules or Wiki pages (in fact, anywhere that $tikilib->parse_data is used) then links always open in new windows.

This should (in my view) default to open in the same window, with a config option to change. It might be possible to do it in the {rss id=} pseudo tag? That might be the least hassle option?

Either way, all the fun is in tikilib.php, and affects all versions from 1.8 to 1.9 (I think 1.6 onwards, but don't quote me!)

I am trying to feed in RSS from my Serendipity Blog site to my tikiwiki 1.10 site but it's not working. I have other rss feeds coming in and they work fine. I've tried Rss 1.0 2.0 Atom 1.0, and none seem to work. I can read the RSS from the blog site into Google just fine. I set it up on the 1.9 on the dev.tikiwiki demo install and it works fine.

I am trying to feed in RSS from my Serendipity Blog site to my tikiwiki (1.10) site but it's not working. I have other rss feeds coming in and they work fine. I've tried Rss 1.0 2.0 Atom 1.0, and none seem to work. I can read the RSS from the blog site into Google just fine. Tested it on the 1.9.8 demo version here on dev.twiki and it works fine, so it seems to be a 1.10 problem.

This should be migrated to the community site, and handled with ((doc:Organic groups)) and ((doc:User Trackers))

It's pretty ugly now...

{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
We just updated our tikiwiki from 6.2 to 8.3 and came across a difficulty when viewing the rss-seed of tracker items. We cloned the database and have not changed anything about permissions, but it seems that only people from a certain group (and admin) can view the rss seed of the tracker while logged in, while others can't. This wasn't previously the case.

We kept the old wiki (6.2) and the tracker rss seed works. See for the example:
http://www.svi.nl/tikiold/tiki-tracker_rss.php?trackerId=5

The rss tracker in the new wiki doesn't. See:
http://www.svi.nl/tiki-tracker_rss.php?trackerId=5

Both have a different database, but they are identical. Also all the permissions concerning trackers are identical.

Is this a bug or has the functionality of the tracker changed? Tried to search in the tikiwiki and bug-reports but couldn't find anything.

EDIT: Apparently this wasn't working in 6.2 either but we created a workaround for it, which also seem to work for 8.3 (see below).

I am pretty new at this, so I am not sure if I posted the bug and patch at the correct place and in the correct form. Please let me know if I should change something. Unfortunately I do not have time at the moment to learn how to commit patches via SVN and am also a bit unsure about my fix, so please take a look and include it in the next release if you think it is correct.

Scenario:
Tiki LTS 6.6, Tracker not publicly accessible (by anonymous users), RSS Feeds enabled, RSS for Trackers and for Individual tracker items enabled, RSS basic Authentication enabled.

Behaviour:
If I try to subscribe to the RSS feeds of my tracker (by adding http://tiki.***.***/tiki-tracker_rss.php?trackerId=9 to Outlook) I always get the error "Tiki RSS Feed Error Message: You do not have permission to view this section". Same happens if I log out of Tiki and copy the address in my browser.

We have a wiki page which has the plugin for RSS feeds. We upgraded from version 3.0 to 6.6 and now the RSS feed plugin no longer works. We have been unable to find a solution on our own and don't know if this is something we overlooked, don't know about or it is an actual problem.

I don't see this reported.

Blog posts marked as private are published to other sites as RSS feed from Tiki. The post content as well as the title is published.

This tracker is made to help filtering and sorting the features vs categories vs options we need to tag a bug/regression/wish with.

In the RSS feed for articles, tha last person to edit the article is proclaimed as the author of said article.

When Tiki creates an RSS feed for a tracker, it will include __all__ items from that tracker, regardless of status. Tiki will ignore all status-related permissions, too.

For example, if Anonymous cannot view pending items, Tiki will ''still'' include pending items in the tracker's RSS feed.

I want a way to limit the tracker items that appear in a feed, based on status.

I have an external RSS feed displayed in a module. In 4.x the links contained the correct HREF values and the module worked nicely. In 5.x (trunk as of 4/19/2010) the HREF value is "".

See "Latest Alpha News" module at http://wiki.alphasoftware.com/

The feed used is http://alphasoftware.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default

The "Display Feed" page has the same empty HREF strings as the displayed module containing the feed.

when using the RSS module on blog posts (would like to see the title and body really, or at least a link to the relevant post. The link produced is a tiki-view-blog-post, but the parameters contain only a blog id but not a post id, so results in an error message when clicked.

Please see:
http://themes.tikiwiki.org/tiki-forums_rss.php?ver=2

The logo should be the site logo, if available.
Make sure of i18n
Make more generic. ie : no "Tiki RSS feed for forums". It should be just RSS for forums.

Test in various browsers. Especially IE6, IE7, and FF2

The feeds:

Blogs, File Galleries & Forums do not create SEF URL's, when the option is enabled.

This tracker item could not be found

header.tpl should contain something like below for trackers.

{if $feature_directory eq 'y' and $rss_directories eq 'y'}
<link rel="alternate" type="application/xml" title="{tr}RSS Directories{/tr}" href="tiki-directories_rss.php?ver={$rssfeed_default_version}" />
{/if}

One can not put more then one RSS feed on a wiki page. Following patch fixes that.
