The fix for this error in the Joomla News feed / RSS feed facility in Joomla 1.5 is very simple, but is frustratingly difficult to find. There are many, many forum posts about this, none of which have any answer. (Chmod 777 is NOT a solution.)
The simple solution is this – use this url:
http://www.yourwebsite.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=1&format=feed&type=rss
…where “id=1″ is the category id number (find it in Content>Category Manager) of the category you want to use as your rss feed. Or if you change ‘category’ to ‘section’, you can put in the id of the section you want as an rss feed.
That’s it. Plug that in, and it will give you a standard look rss feed. From there, putting in feedburner, or other RSS facilities is easy.
Hope that saved you some time!
P.S. – If you need an atom feed, just replace rss at the end of the url with atom…. Yep. That easy.
When you are setting up the Search Engine Friendly urls (SEFs) in Joomla to help your seo, in a small number of cases they won’t work out the box. If this is the case, try uncommenting the RewriteBase Directive in the htaccess file. It’s only ever happened to me once hence sticking it here as a reminder!
You can reset file permissions with the line:
find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {}; |
and folder permissions with:
find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {}; |
After much work over the summer months and the expected toil and trouble Version 2 Release Candidate of the CIMs BTEC E-Assessment System is complete. CIMs tracks pupil and class progress in BTEC courses, including metrics to help with writing reports. Three Bristol schools are now successfully using CIMs Version 1, and are now testing Version 2. It will be a couple of months before we can be 100% that everything is working as it should be but it’s exciting to see how everyone gets on with the new features and improved user interface.
Our Windguru plugins now provide the `official` support of the Windguru Plugin inside Joomla and WordPress. After much waiting I found time to double check the Joomla and WordPress versions; tweak my class version of Vaclav’s plugin and get everything looking good on a products page.
