Hi,

I need to show some data from an xml feed in our site (EE2 1.6.4beta), but I must be missing something…

I´ve installed the ajw_feedparser plugin, (and already checked it works…)

The xml feed is this one: http://desarrollo.capitalbolsa.com/ws , with this structure:

<noticiasResponse>
    <noticia>
        <id>58141</id>
        <fecha>2011-01-03 08:05:05</fecha>
        <titulo><![CDATA[...whatever…]]></titulo>
        <subtitulo><![CDATA[]]></subtitulo>
        <contenido>...whatever…</contenido>
        <secciones>
        </secciones>
        <valores>
        </valores>
    </noticia>
    <noticia>
      ...
    </noticia>
</noticiasResponse>

That´s the code I´ve placed in the template:

{exp:ajw_feedparser
url="http://desarrollo.capitalbolsa.com/ws"
itempath="/noticiasResponse"
cache_refresh="100"
limit="5"
debug="true"
}
<h2>{titulo}</h2>
<p>{if no_results}<br />
No results<br />
{/if}<br />
{/exp:ajw_feedparser}

I´ve tryed changing the itempath, in any combination of /noticasResponse/noticias…
But I´m not retrieving any data at all… just No results
Does anybody knows what am I doing wrong or if it´s anything in the source of the feed?

Thanks in advance,
Gabriel

Hi,

I think the XML is invalid.

There seems to be a block of javascript at the end (after the closing </noticiasResponse> tag) which I think is stopping the XML parser working correctly.

Hi Andrew,

I´ll talk with the people that sends the feed…

Thank you so much
Gabriel

No problem.

Let me know if you continue to have a problem.

Andrew

Thanks Gabriel and Andrew. I’ll move this thread into the Community Help forum for you.

Cheers

Hi again,

The people from the feed http://desarrollo.capitalbolsa.com/ws has now changed the code, and I think now it´s valid XML what they´re serving.

But there´s still something I´m doing wrong, I´m not being able to show any content…

Should the code I placed in the first post show the content??

Thanks,
Gabriel

I used this:

{exp:ajw_feedparser
url="http://desarrollo.capitalbolsa.com/ws"
    itempath="/noticiasResponse/noticia"
    cache_refresh="100"
    limit="5"
    debug="true"
}

which seems to work now.

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

so it works for you! it doesn´t for me…

I´m not sure it there´s something on my config…

I´ll try to check it..

Thanks anyway,
Gabriel

Hi Gabriel,

The plugin tries to use the CURL library to read the file. It might be worth checking you have CURL support in PHP

What debugging messages are you gettting> Just “No results”?

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

The plugin worked when I used one of the examples you provide in the webpage documentation, so it has to have CURL support… we´re already on EngineHosting hosted…

Yes, the only I get is “No results”, any debugging messages at all.

Thanks for your time,
Gabriel

Hi again…

I´ve been playing a little with curl, and I´ve seen where the problem must be…

The server of the feed is sending a 301 error and a redirection, what it´s probably stopping the plugin

I´ve added

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);

to the source of the plugin and now it works on my local install… but I´m not sure why, in the production server doesn´t!!

Any tip or idea will be welcome 😊

Thanks anyway,
Gabriel

Hi Gabriel,

If you are still having problems with this I can send you a copy of the plugin that uses a different method to fetch the feed. Email me at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).

Thanks so much, I send you an email Andrew.
