RSS Displayer Help!

[digitalbobdeluxe]

1) Script Title: RSS Displayer

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...xrssticker.htm

3) Describe problem:
Hi, This is a great script but I'm having a couple of problems.

I have it producing 3 feed sources with 20 entries, with 4 entries per page.

Firstly is that the labels are all wrong and consistently show the wrong label.

Secondly the first 'page' seems to update fine when a new story appears, the second does a bit but the third and fourth pages do not update at all - I thought they would all 'flush through' as new news came up.

I would really appreciate some help on this!!
Cheers and thanks
Rob

Here is my code

<script type="text/javascript">

var socialfeed=new gfeedrssticker("newsfeed", "newsfeedclass", 6000, "")
socialfeed.addFeed("Google", "http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&q=david+bowie+album+uk&ie=UTF-8&output=rss") //Specify "label" plus URL to RSS feed
socialfeed.addFeed("BBC", "http://newsapi.bbc.co.uk/feeds/search/news+sport/david%20bowie") //Specify "label" plus URL to RSS feed
socialfeed.addFeed("Digg", "http://digg.com/rss_search?search=david+bowie&area=promoted&type=both&section=all") //Specify "label" plus URL to RSS feed
socialfeed.displayoptions("label datetime") //show the specified additional fields
socialfeed.setentrycontainer("li") //Display each entry as a DIV
socialfeed.filterfeed(20, "date") //Show 15 entries, sort by label
socialfeed.entries_per_page(4)
socialfeed.init() //Always call this last

</script>

Apparently other people have been having the same issues with this script as you on the forums. I'm going to take a closer look at them next week, and post an update to the script if I find any answers.

Hi
Thanks for looking into it!

Hi
Not sure what is going on but now nothing works, without me touching anything. I just get a 'Retrieving RSS feed(s)' error message - is this because you are doing something 'behind the scenes'?

Nope, nothing's changed yet with the RSS Displayer script on DD, and either way, it doesn't matter. This script relies on Google Feed API to fetch the feeds, so the only changes that may affect the script running on your page would be from Google, if that's actually the cause of the stalling message.

Hi
Yeah, it's back, really not sure what happened there!
Thanks - any joy on the script? It's still the same as the issues above.

Yep, please see the last post here and try out the modified .js file: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=30222

Hi Admin

Sorry but no change I'm afraid, it is exactly the same.

To be honest the thing that gets me is not the labels, I can just about handle that even though they are all wrong - at the end of the day I can just make then white and tiny on a white background until you guys can sort the problem out.
The real problem is "page" 2 hardly ever updating - and "pages" 3 and 4 are always the same, they never change and that makes the script unworkable for my sites.

If I change the sources, the same thing happens.

If this helps - I have a Linux server, Ubuntu....it's a fully managed server and has had no problems ever since it was set up.

I have a few other servers and sites to try this out on, so will try it out on them as well, just to see what happens.

Hmmm back to the drawing board I guess. Just to confirm, the "label" issue only occurs in IE (and not Firefox) for you right? That's what I'm seeing at least. Secondly, as far as the "sub" pages not updating, can you clarify what you mean? Unlike a scroller for example, this script always shows just one page of RSS items.
