Hi Nick, hope you’re still watching this forum ??

Can you shed any light on caching, if any, of RSS feeds by run.php?

I’ve run into a new niggling problem, where the RSS feed is updated (I can see the new entries on a webpage that displays RSS e.g. this one https://www.netimechannel.com/OnlineRssViewer/ but when I execute run.php the feeds it displays are missing the latest entries. Some unspecified number of hours later it seems to work (sometimes as many as 24).

Is this due to caching, and can I turn it off?

Just a heads-up for anyone else using this great plugin:

I recently moved servers. On my old server I could set up a cron job to execute run.php by putting this into my cron:

/usr/bin/curl https://myserver.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/linickx-lifestream/run.php

However on my new server the above command doesn’t do anything. I spent ages trying to find out what was wrong, but finally (after turning on cron email notifications) noticed that the above command returns a 404 ‘page not found’ error. The same page address works in the browser.

After some Googling I discovered that in some cases you need to send a user-agent along with the curl command. I put this command into my cron:

/usr/bin/curl -A “Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 4_3_3 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/533.17.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0.2 Mobile/8J2 Safari/6533.18.5” https://myserver.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/linickx-lifestream/run.php

… and everything is working again. Woohoo!

I’ve got Lifestream working fine with RSS feeds from delicious etc, however it doesn’t seem to like RSS feeds from Yahoo Pipes. I get this error:

Feed ID / Counter = 2

Fetching Feed: https://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=aee5e88f845f6e35dae998d0e3444cd7&_render=rss

Fatal error: Call to undefined method WP_Error::get_items() in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/_wp/wp-content/plugins/linickx-lifestream/run.php on line 167

I only get this error the first time I access run.php. The second time I access run.php I get this

Run.php is already running, exiting...No URLS/FEEDS Found in Database.

However if I remove this broken feed and access run.php I get this output every time:

LINICKX LifeStream

Number of Days
blah blah blah
Creating new DB
Feed ID / Counter = 0
blahblah

Feed ID / Counter = 1
blahblah

Writing DB to File
Done.

So my questions ??

1. Is there anything I can do to make Yahoo Pipes feeds work?

2. Any ideas why does the Yahoo Pipes feed as the 3rd feed cause the 1st and 2nd ones to vanish from the run.php results page?

Thanks for this great plugin!

Hey,

I just installed your plugin and it works lovely except for one thing. Twitter feeds cannot be read due to requiring authentication. Will you be able to implement support for that in this plugin?

Cheers!

Love your plugin, I am wondering if there is a way to remove the title anchor tag and only focus on the anchors located within the post itself?

Very useful plugin for my application otherwise, this is the only option that I think could make the usability 100%.

Hope you can help..

Thanks
