Help With RSS Feed

I am working through the tutorial on consuming a remote RSS
1.0 feed. I can
pull in the feeds remotely (see
http://www.basketballfan.us/).
The problem
arises when I try and organize the content source by date or
limit the
number of articles that are shown. Every time I do that I get
this error
message:
MM_XSLTransform error:
"contentsources/cbs.xsl" is not a valid XSLT document.
Keyword xsl:sort may not be used here.
The CBS source file URL is
http://www.basketballfan.us/contentsources/cbs.xsl
Can anyone help me fix this problem?

Help with RSS feed in home page

I'm trying to place an RSS feed in my home page. I've
followed this Dev
Center guide:
http://tinyurl.com/ewbdv
I've gotten everything to work perfectly locally. However,
when I upload
the files it won't work online here:
http://tinyurl.com/ootyn
The error I receive is:
Could not find the ColdFusion Component
burnettcom.includes.MM_XSLTransform.MM_XSLTransform.
Please check that the given name is correct and that the
component
exists. The error occurred in
C:\domains\burnettcom.com\wwwroot\home.cfm: line 28
26 : 
27 : <cfinvokeargument name="xml"
value="
http://www.burnettcom.com/blog/?feed=rss2">
28 : <cfinvokeargument name="xsl"
value="headlines.xsl">
29 : </cfinvoke></div>
Instead of the path
burnettcom.includes.MM_XSLTransform.MM_XSLTransform.
shouldn't it be
burnettcom/includes/MM_XSLTransform/MM_XSLTransform.cfm
This is the only thing that I can see that would be wrong.
Can anyone help me to get this to work online?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks A3gis, I just got that part working. I've configured
it to
display the title and date for each post.
The only problem is that the date appears as:
Tue, 18 Jul 2006 04:38:07 +0000
I would prefer the date to appear as:
July 18, 2006
or
6.18.06
Does anyone know how to make this work?
P.S. Here's the xls file:

Need help with rss feeds

I am trying to get mutiple rss feeds auto update on the same page.
Here is my code for the rss feeds that I have on separate pages and I would like to put on one page:
PAGE 1

</div>
So basically i need to find out how to combine the two <head> sections with both links, so that when I place the body codes in their <div> tags they will grab the correct rss feeds.
Thank you,
cp

Create a new data set as follows
var dsItem2 = new Spry.Data.YQLDataSet(
    'select * from xml where url="http://www.voip-news.com/rss/vnar.xml"',
    false,
        format:"xml",
        preparseFunc: function( strxml ){
            var xml = Spry.Utils.stringToXMLDoc( strxml ), ds = Spry.Data.XMLDataSet.getRecordSetFromXMLDoc( xml, "rss/channel/item" );
            return ds.data;
Also make sure that you change the HTML markup (data regions and iframe) to reflect this addition

Problem with RSS feeds in AppleMail

If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it. I have several RSS feeds that come in through AppleMail. Every so often, it stops receiving all of the feeds (I get an explanation point next to the the RSS header). After a day or so, it will start receiving feeds again. I have no problem getting e-mails... just my RSS feeds. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

I have just experienced the same problem with RSS feeds through AppleMail. A couple of days ago (just after I had upgraded to Aperture 3 - not sure if that's relevant) the exclamation mark appeared next to all the Mailboxes for my RSS feeds, and has not disappeared. If I click on the exclamation mark I get the message "there was an error updating the RSS feed 'Apple Hot News'. The RSS feed is temporarily unavailable because an internal error occurred".
I have tried shutting down, and deleting the RSS plist - with no effect.
Other details - the problem exists on a MacBook Pro, running Sno (v 10.6.2 - all updates applied) and Apple Mail v4.2. I can send / receive regular email. I also have an iMac (also running Sno 10.6.2 and Apple Mail v4.2) - RSS feeds work fine on this machine. Both machines use the same wireless broadband router.
Grateful for any help. Thanks

I have read up, and am still having problems with RSS Feed

Greetings Everyone.
I really need some help with my RSS feed before I go insane. I would like to think I know what I am doing, but obviously there is some little (or big!) step I am overlooking.
Ok here is my site: www.drewernst.com it is hosted by asmallorange.com
My pocast is at www.drewenst.com/podcast
This is the rss feed iWeb generated: feed://www.drewernst.com/podcast/The%20Jeff%20and%20Drew%20Podcast/rss.xml
Now, from everything I have read so far - it seems that as long as you get the URL right when you are publishing to a folder, iWeb should do the rest. Also, it is important to put the whole folder containing your podcast in your root web folder otherwise it breaks the feed. Both of these things I have done. (obviously not correctly, or it would be working!)
I read Many tutorials and topics I could find about this, but it still doesn't seem to work for me. Apple suggests taking the RSS feed an pasting it into itunes under Advanced menu "subscribe to podcast" to make sure your feed is valid before submitting to itunes.
When I do this, I get an message saying "there was a problem downloading... An unknown error occurred (-50).
I tried using a feed validator and it came back with so many errors. I just don't know that much about RSS, but i have been working on this for about a month and it's driving me crazy. No one I have asked at the apple store has been any more helpful than to suggest I just buy a .mac account and do it from there(honestly the nerve. wink.) I don't need .mac, I have my own website.
Thanks in advance.
Mr. Rss Crazy,
Drew
Oh, I tried to be as detailed as possible but if I left anything important out, please just ask...I will be watching this like a hawk.
iMac 2.0ghz Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)

So, my web-host said that it's a problem with the RSS feed, not there hosting.
They pointed me to "Feed Validator" which I looked at before. I have a lot of errors.
http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.drewernst.com%2Fpodcast% 2FThe%2520Jeff%2520and%2520Drew%2520Podcast%2Frss.xml
Shouldn't Garageband and iWeb have taken care of these errors. I don't even know how I would correct them. I thought this was supposed to be a 1-2-3 process, like the documentation of both programs said.
Sorry if I sound sarcastic, I am just frustrated.

I found the issue, the service provided by UCM i.e. the GET_REMOTE_FEED as when checked in the source code found doesn't support https. So any request made on https will give no result.

Help - Changed RSS Feed

I was hoping someone could help me with this issue I have.
I have been using Libsyn for about 1 year to push my RSS feed to iTunes. It worked like a champ. My website is www.bowcast.com and my RSS feed was www.bowcast.com\rss.
Recently, I have redesigned my website and moved it to a new server. My website is working fine. I re-submitted my RSS feed to iTunes about 10 days ago (new feed - http://www.bowcast.com/index2.php?option=compodcast&feed=RSS2.0&nohtml=1). I have the following issues:
1) iTunes has not been updated. It still has the old RSS feed, and my users are getting an error that the "old" RSS server could not be found (which makes sense because I have moved it. Therefore, my latest episodes are available on my new site, but not in iTunes.
2) I actually want the "old" iTunes submission (i.e. the old artowrk that I submitted over a year ago) to be taken down and the new RSS feed with the new artwork be posted.
Does anyone have any idea what I could be missing? I contacted Apple support and they suggested I start here.
Any help you could provide would be greatly apppreciated.

It still has the old RSS feed, and my users are getting an error that the "old" RSS server could not be found (which makes sense because I have moved it. Therefore, my latest episodes are available on my new site, but not in iTunes.
By submitting a new URL to iTunes (if you become approved) you have in effect created a duplicate listing in the Store of your podcast. The new URL doesn't have any connection with your previous listing . . . so your old listing will be the way it is forever, unless you still have access to Libsyn or you send in a request to get the listing removed. Also, none of your old subscribers will know about your new listing unless they specifically go looking for it.
It looks like what you wanted/should have done was to put in a redirect in your Libsyn feed so that you didn't lose any subscribers, and didn't create a second listing in the store. I would still recommend trying this if your new listing hasn't shown up and if you still have access to Libsyn.
As for your second question, when/if your new feed is approved, it will contain your new artwork and any new elements you have put in your feed.

Business Catalyst Help | Create RSS feeds

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/partner/add-content-rss-feed.html

Thank you for the fast reply, Mario!
I did look at the blog details page as the help page indicated and i did have the RSS check box checked, however under the Site Settings the RSS page had no channels in it. So I had to create a new channel so I can have a link to the blog RSS. When I created the chanel and selected to populate it with BLOG POSTs it gave me that ugly 2 box fields where you move the blog posts from left box to the right box. So essentially you have to do this for the blog posts as well. Unless I'm missing something but I spent almost an hour trying to figure this out in the Admin. Whcih is a rediculous amount of time to spend on something that comes pre-built to any other system.

Need Help With RSS reader...

First off, I'm a beginner. And I would love some help with
this problem.
I've uploaded the RSS reader to my server, designed it, etc.
And It will not load the feeds. I've searched through the forums,
and have come to discover that it is a security issue (one which is
undoubtedly beyond me). Is it possible to get this to work? I read
in a previous post that there is a way to use it with a javascript
code but I'm not sure how to allow this to work.
My site can be found at
http://www.thecassidyfeed.com
I'm fairly confident that all my paths are correct. All of
the files, the javascript files, etc. are located on the root
level. Could it be something with the server? I know that it is
possible that: " url_fopen_disabled " needs to be enabled. My
server is with MediaTemple.
I would very much like to use this framework, and I look
forward to seeing my site up and running. If there is anyone who
would be kind enough to point me in the right direction I would
very much appreciate it.
lauren

If you look at

Feed Has No Episodes & Validation Issues with RSS Feed

Hello! I am beyond my wits end..having many issues getting this podcast submitted and never had such issues before. Any step-by-step help would be GREATLY appreciated!!
Here is my feedburner: http://feeds.feedburner.com/High-achievingWomensBlogazine
And here is the page where I have followed the instructions for the audio player and files: http://www.highachievingwomen.biz/podcasts/high-achieving-womens-blogazine-podca sts/
Is there something I am missing for this feed to be picking up my audio files?
(Note: since I am using feedburner, I did install the Plugins (Audio player & FeedSmith) that they recommend to use with their system as well)
And here is what I get when I submit the RSS for validation:
Congratulations!
This is a valid RSS feed.
Recommendations
This feed is valid, but interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendations.

Your feed has no media files referenced. Your web page has embedded audio players: these won't work in the feed. You need direct links to the media files, which should be mp3 or m4a, not rm, swf or wma. These links have to be contained in an 'enclosure' tag for each episode.
This page eplains the basics of making a podcast and includes a sample basic feed soi you can see what I'm talking about:
http://rfwilmut.net/pc
I'm not suggesting you should write your own feed, but the page will tell you what to look for in a feed.
You're using Wordpress: it's not really generating a podcast feed. You may need to add the PodPress plugin - I'm not sure whether you can get a podcast feed out of WordPress by itself - I'm afraid I can't advise on this.
You can ignore the FeedValidator comment - it's only because you have the 'item' tag at the end of a line, and this doesn't matter.

Problem with RSS Feed & iTunes U

Hello:
The following RSS feed passes feedvalidator with two minor errors, and other feeds have these similar two minor errors but work with iTunes U.
But, the following feed doesn't work with iTunes U.
http://www.kued.org/productions/utahnow/?action=videocast&cat=4
Any suggesitons?

An additional note: the error message iTunesU is returning is:
Error
iTunes U could not update the content in this group because iTunes U could not download the specified RSS feed. Verify that the RSS feed specified in the Feed URL is available, and then try again.
Clearly the feed is "available", and is in fact error free:
http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kued.org%2Fproductions%2 Futahnow%2F%3Faction%3Dvideocast%26cat%3D4
I've been through the feed pretty thoroughly and cannot see what in it could be giving iTunesU grief.

Help: Editing RSS Feed Button for Feedburner URL

I have an RSS feed on my iWeb site - just the standard RSS item from the iWeb menu, but I'd like to change the URL to the feed to a Feedburner URL.
Is there any way of doing this without having a custom button? I can't see any way using inspector or anything...
TIA

I think I'll just create a custom button with the RSS link on it, containing the link to the Feedburner feed.
After looking around a bunch, I'm not sure you can do this as an iWeb setting...

Something is wrong with rss feeds

I am using Safari 5.0.1 on OSX 10.5.8. Recently Safari stopped deleting old rss feeds. I went to Safari's preferences->RSS and clicked "Remove Now".
Now I have a problem where my system.log file is filling up with lines and lines like this:
Sep 5 13:12:02 ip-address-sanitized PubSubAgent[371]: FileDeleter: <file://localhost/Users/myusername/Library/PubSub/Feeds/d7e340ff6462708b5519d65 d3faab82ecb6c4c37/735a8fc0b5f5f498d021979b0c3fa7458b49e3cd.xml> got CFURL error -10
Looking for these files I can see they don't exist. I do find the folder, and plenty of files inside, but no file named the same.
Any ideas?

I did that, and accidentally added the bold too. But now I can't change the bold so I just left it in. This part of the log includes my ip address in every entry.

Help with RSS

Hi guys
Basically, I would like to create a panel for Photoshop CS4
getting an RSS feed of my video tuts. I know how to put the video
window but I would like the RSS links to show the video once
clicked. Kind of like what Scott Kelby did
HERE
but instead of showing the blog post, it would be the video that
would play.
On the back end, would I have to create a separate feed and
blog page with direct video links?
Thanks!

If you know action script and MXML, you can modify the RSS
sample in the Flex Builder.
Use the VideoDisplay control show the video.

Help with RSS Connector

I would like to use a SharePoint list as an RSS feed into my dashboard. I am using the RSS Connector (with triggers) that came with the Xcelsius install. The connector works fine in a preview mode, but when I try to export the dashboard it hangs on the initialization.

Hi Frank,
Could you go to File-> Document Properties and check the option "Show Loading Status".
Now preview and let me know where exactly it hangs. the Initialize message would be dynamic now and would tell you what is happening in the background.
Thanks,
Amit
