Newsreader and Google

[KHK]

Hi there,
I am trying to integrate the newsreader into a website. I have taken a look into the forum but I could not find a clear hint.
I want to get news from google or other sources about "figure skating" and nothing else. I have installed the newsreader and I could not find out what to fill in the field 'RSS-URI'.

I know it is a silly question and somehow I have made a logical mistake. I would very much appreciate a hint on this issue.
Thx

You need to enter the RSS feed URI. In other words, go look for feeds that you want to include in your website and enter that URL. As an example, if you wanted to include postings to this WB forum, you would enter the URI:
http://www.websitebaker2.org/forum/index.php?type=rss;action=.xml

If you know of sites that post info regarding figure skating, offer these postings as an RSS feed, and you want to include their postings, then enter their RSS feed URI.

Hi marathoner and thx for your prompt reply.
I have understood, that this rssreader does not support .xml? Is that actual still?
As a fact, I tried to include a similiar URI as you suggested but it did not work.
Is there something special you must consider in the setup or in the syntax of the URI?
Thanks again.

The error message that I get evertime I want to do anything is:
"Could not open file...."

What happens when you try the WB Forums RSS URI?

I'm having the same problem.
I have red a few threads here, and tried all the tips, but with no success.

I can't get newsreader to show any RSS from any site. All I get is :

"Could not open a feed called: http://www.websitebaker2.org/forum/index.php?type=rss;action=.xml"

"Could not open a feed called: http://www.websitebaker2.org/forum/index.php?type=rss;action=.xml"

This feeder /Link does work on my system.

I recognized the same problem -

but this is an issue of the webspace.

You are using php4 - but this module needs at least php5 - there it works.

I got PHP version 5.2.6 and it does not work.

Never mind, I uninstalled it and use the php script "feed2html" instead, using a wrapper to show the result.

Edit : just tried with WB forum uri, it works. It always displays the "Notice: Constant LANGUAGE already defined" on preview, but it works. Here is the start of the two files :

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<rss version="0.92" xml:lang="en-US">
    <channel>
        <title>WebsiteBaker Community Forum</title>
        <link>http://www.websitebaker2.org/forum/index.php</link>

and

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rss version="0.91">
   <channel>
      <title>Actualités du portail e-ventail</title>
      <description>Retrouvez toutes les actualités du portail e-ventail</description>
      <link>https://www.e-ventail.fr/portal/page/portal/e-ventail/actualites</link>

also the link to the rss feed is https if that matter.

Nevermind. I did not activated openssl extension.
