Geeklog Forums

I just intalled Geeklog on my server, and I would just like to say how amazed I am! To the developers: thank you, you have done a great job! Now, to get back on topic. Moreover news, from http://www.moreover.com won't appear in Geeklog blocks, but will instead display a ton of errors. Can someone please help me? The moreover code worked in the PHP-Nuke blocks, but I don't want to get nuked again, and I really love Geeklog. Can someone please help me? Bradley Hallett bradley@leafsforever.ca

That may be because of the rather primitive RDF parser usind in Geeklog 1.3.5. As of 1.3.6, we will have an improved parser that should be able to handle those RDF feeds that the current parser could not handle. If you need that parser now, you should be able to pull the code from CVS. bye, Dirk

Hey, this is Brad... I use FTP, not CVS... And moreover is a javascript... The javascript won't load properly in geeklog for some reason. Do you still know how to fix it? Get back to me. bradley@leafsforever.ca

Well, without any examples (URL?) and / or error messages it's really hard to tell where the problem is ... bye, Dirk

I don't know what to do. Shcoe this code into a geeklog box and you will see what I am talking about. If you have MSDN, IE Error messeges will popup and the headlines won't show up in the code. Please help!

Aren't these feeds also available in RDF/RSS format? Why not just create a portal block?

In a world without walls and fences, who needs Windows and Gates?

Well, actually I can't save that code in a block - I get an SQL error. However when I put it in a separate file between <?php require_once('lib-common.php'); echo COM_siteHeader('menu'); echo COM_startBlock("Moreover"; ?> <!-- moreover code here --> <?php echo COM_endBlock(); echo COM_siteFooter(); ?> it works just fine. Here's another idea: Put that code in a file, write a simple PHP block which reads that file and returns the contents. See if that works. Or, as squatty already said, try to find a proper RDF feed (which would have the added benefit that it would work without having Javascript enabled). bye, Dirk
