Hi,

We prepared Forums based on Expression Engine forum module. Everything is good, but the RSS seems set up incorrectly.

When I click on Forum RSS link, I see only - “Your request did not return any results”

Can you please handle this? I tried to google this issue, but didn’t find anything. Is there some special set up for the Forum RSS?

Thanks!

JT

Hi jiri.tobolka,

I’m sorry you having trouble getting the forum RSS to work for you. Does your forum have any posts?  Can you go to your forums CP and click on Default Preferences, RSS Preferences and set enable RSS feed for this forum to yes.

Sean

Hello,

yes preferences looks correct. RSS feed is enabled. Do you have any tips on how to solve this?

Thanks. JT

Hello jiri.tobolka,

I am sorry to hear you are running into this problem.

Can you past in the code you are using for the RSS link?

Do you have any posts? Is this a new forum? The error indicates that there is nothing to return.

Can you also show me the code from the template where you are displaying your RSS feed?

Once I have this information, we can go from there.

Cheers,

Hi Shane,

I didn’t change anything in RSS configuration of Discussion Forums RSS. Only what I did was Enable RSS feed.

Is there any other needs to be prepared for get this done? Do I need to create some special channel for this purpose?

Thanks a lot!

JT

Jiri,

Are you using a custom forum theme or one of the themes that ships with ExpressionEngine? If a custom theme could you temporarily switch to one of the default themes and check if the RSS feed is working. If it is still not working what url does the RSS link direct you to?

Sean

Hi,

I use default skin that I changed only a little bit by colors etc. So everything should be set up and working from my point of view.

The URL when I click on RSS link is - http://new-developer.gooddata.com/forums/rss/

I know that for channel RSS there should be some template. But how about for Discussion Forum?

Thanks a lot for your help!

JT

Hi Jiri,

That link should work. Could you look on your server and see if the following file exists? Replace theme_name with the name of the theme you are using.

/themes/forum_themes/theme_name/forum_rss/rss_page.html

If it does not exist then upload a copy of it from a fresh download of the ExpressionEngine zip file.

Sean

Hi Sean,

I checked the file you suggested me to ckeck. It contains following code. No errors from my point of view. Do you see any problem?

Thanks!

Hello jiri.tobolka,

I am sorry to hear this is still an issue for you.

The template looks fine.

I notice that the page comes up as a locked page. Are you still getting no results?

I know this is pretty basic, but are the folder permissions different for some reason on that folder?

Let me know what you find and we will go from there. I am sorry again that this is still unresolved. It’s a bit of a bear because all the bases have been checked.

Cheers,
