NewsGator: impossible to read OSNN feed

apgl · August 3rd, 2004

Hello!

I use NewsGator for Outlook as my newsreader and it works fine. But with OSNN newsfeed http://www.osnn.net/modules.php?modn...ction=rdf&id=1 I read nothing.
Can you help me?

Thanks in advance.

Love and peace!

I will be creating a new feed eventually ... one will be enhanced for Klip and anything else (ie the current version)

The other will be basic for applications that just can't deal with it!

I have made some changes to the backend, but do not have this application.
Does it work now?

The feed works fine with the Firefox RSS Reader, but it only shows the story titles.
Is it be possible to replace the < content:encoded> tags with < description>? That would show short excerpts from the body of the news story as well. =)

Yeah, I don't think the RSS reader recognizes BBcode tags.
The image would show if the source contained HTML tags.

**xsivforce** · August 18th, 2004

true

**Electronic Punk** · August 19th, 2004

I will see what I can do

Is it the vbcode issue or the path issue?

**xsivforce** · August 19th, 2004

Probably just the bb code. This is how it shows up on NewsGet:

Code:

**NetRyder** · August 19th, 2004

Yeah, it's just the vB code. Should work fine if it's changed to a standard HTML img tag.

**Electronic Punk** · August 19th, 2004

ok, will readd the code that redoes it a little later on, is a function I removed the other day

**NetRyder** · August 19th, 2004

Cool...take your time. As long as I can read the story, I'm fine with it.

**Electronic Punk** · August 21st, 2004

Will do it eventually .... its as if I knew it was coming

Should this be slapped into fix-ed now ?

**Electronic Punk** · August 25th, 2004

Not yet mate, reminds me that I still need to restrip out those tags that we spent ages stripping out and then I removed again.

I presume this is fixed then.
