    First time user of Magpie for 1.x, and can’t seem to get it to work with the discussion forum feed we need. Magpie is working with other random RSS or Atom feeds, but not with this one. I spoke with the feed development team yesterday and they tried switching it around to RSS1, RSS2, and Atom but nothing was working.

    We are able to get another feed parsing from the same company, but coming from a different CMS platform (.NET) to work, so they threw out the thought that perhaps this Java-generated feed was causing problems with Magpie. Unfortunately I don’t know what exactly to tell them since they believe it may be EE’s issue.

    😊

    Feed link: https://communities.ca.com/c/message_boards/rss?p_l_id=2270907&categoryId=2272356&type=rss

    Code snippet:

    {exp:magpie url="https://communities.ca.com/c/message_boards/rss?p_l_id=2270907&categoryId=2272356&type=rss" limit="5" refresh="720"}
        <ul id="community-ticker">
            {items}
            <li><a href="http://{link}" target="_blank" rel="noopener">{title}</a></li>
            {/items}
        </ul>
    {/exp:magpie}

    Hi Chris,

    It looks like there is some sort of redirect (Apache code 301) for that URL and that is causing Magpie to fail. Can you please ask the feed development team to remove any possible redirects and then test this again?

    Cheers

    Greg
