RSS Feed Reader (gfeedfetcher) isn't updating second feed

[kellyrnh]

1) Script Title: gAjax RSS Feeds Displayer (hosted)

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

3) Describe problem: I am using the gfeedfetcher.js script to pull two separate feeds (from two different wordpress sites) onto my homepage. They both appear, and the top one updates. The second will not update, and is actually showing a post that I have since deleted. (If you click it to read it, it brings you to a error page because it no longer exists).

I have tried EVERYTHING I can think of, and am about to pull my hair out! Please help!!!

please post webpage

[ddadmin]

Yep, please post a link to the problem page. But before then, check to make sure that each instance of the script on your page is assigned a unique variable name and not the same name, ie:

var cssfeed=new gfeedfetcher("example1", "example1class", "")
cssfeed.addFeed("CSS Drive", "http://www.cssdrive.com/index.php/news/rss_2.0/") //Specify "label" plus URL to RSS feed
cssfeed.displayoptions("date") //show the specified additional fields
cssfeed.setentrycontainer("li") //Display each entry as a list (li element)
cssfeed.filterfeed(10, "title") //Show 10 entries, sort by date
cssfeed.init() //Always call this last


var socialfeed=new gfeedfetcher("example2", "example2class", "_new")
socialfeed.addFeed("Slashdot", "http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot") //Specify "label" plus URL to RSS feed
socialfeed.addFeed("Digg", "http://digg.com/rss/index.xml") //Specify "label" plus URL to RSS feed
socialfeed.displayoptions("label datetime snippet") //show the specified additional fields
socialfeed.setentrycontainer("div") //Display each entry as a DIV
socialfeed.filterfeed(6, "label") //Show 6 entries, sort by label
socialfeed.init() //Always call this last

Thanks, I have tried renaming just about everything and still nothing. I even tried deleting the offending post that it only pulls and still nothing (I have since put it back). You can check out the site here.

Thanks so much!

Any ideas? I really have no idea what the issue is

[ddadmin]

You haven't fixed the issue I mentioned above about not duplicating the variable names for each instance of your RSS displayer on the page:

				 <script type="text/javascript">
				     var newsfeed=new gfeedfetcher("list1")
					 newsfeed.addFeed("Stylewatch", "http://www.alapageboutique.com/stylewatch/feed/") 
					 newsfeed.filterfeed(1) //Show 1 entry, sort by date
					 newsfeed.init() //Always call this last
				 </script>
			 </div>
			 </div>
        <div class="boxfoot"><a href="http://www.alapageboutique.com/stylewatch">More of the latest trends &raquo;</a></div>     
	 </div>
</div>
<!--WHAT'S NEW-->
<div id="swhome">
<div class="boxheader">What's New</div>

<h2>The latest happenings at the store</h2>
<div id="wrapper">
	   <div class="content">
		     <div class="box">
				 <script type="text/javascript">
				     var newsfeed=new gfeedfetcher("list2", "_new")
					 newsfeed.addFeed("What's New at Alapage", "http://www.alapageboutique.com/news/feed/") 
					 newsfeed.filterfeed(1) //Show 1 entry, sort by date
					 newsfeed.init() //Always call this last
				 </script>

Please see my post above for more details.

Thanks so much for your reply. Yes, I did try that but on testing it still doesn't work so I had not uploaded it (but I have now). Still nothing. The "Winter Sale" feed should not be pulling in, it is a really old post. Anything else that sticks out to you?

In the code for the second feed :


<code>

<h2>The latest happenings at the store</h2>
<div id="wrapper">
<div class="content">
<div class="box">
<script type="text/javascript">
var newsfeed=new gfeedfetcher("list2", "_new")
newsfeed.addFeed("What's New at Alapage", "http://www.alapageboutique.com/news/feed/")
newsfeed.filterfeed(1) //Show 1 entry, sort by date
newsfeed.init() //Always call this last
</script>
</code>

remove:

_new

and leave it as empty quotes like this:

""

See if it updates then

Hi Bud,
I had tried that at one point, but tried it again hoping, still nothing. This is really starting to drive me crazy! Any other ideas? I'll gladly try it!

Thanks
