After upgrading to 3.66, my previous blog add-on needed to be redone. I decided to try this one instead, since frankly the previous one was a royal pain.

Works like a charm in 3.66 and seems to get Blogger feeds as well as other normal RSS feeds. Just set up the blogger feed URL as follows:

Code:

http://{blogname}.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss

Of course, if your members encounter any difficulty getting their feeds to show up, you can always tell them to process it through Feedburner and use that URL.

I also couldn't get it to work with custom field paths but it's fine if you just delete those lines.

Thanks, nevetS! :)

Question:

Anyone know what I have to do to correct a blog title like the following:

Quote:

The sad state of Canada?s health care system

i.e., what do I have to do to get it to correctly parse or display "Canada's" instead of "Canada?s"?

You did not enter the correct format for the My latest blog entry field. Please read the field description for the expected format.

What's the format it expects? I tried my link from feedburner, the link of the rss feed as it appears in the footer of my wordpress blog .. nothing. Thank you in advance ;)

I don't use Feedburner but for WordPress it should look like http://www.somenlog.com/feed/

I used this and 3 other possible links with no use. Here is the code as I have put it in the plugin section. I might have not set the path correctly I assume.

Code:

require_once 'carp/carp.php';

CarpConf('cacheinterval',120);

/** You may want to set a cachepath specifically for your forum **/

CarpConf('cachepath','carp/');

CarpConf('cacherelative',0);

/** You can omit the above two lines without a problem **/

CarpConf('cborder','');

CarpConf('poweredby','');

CarpConf('maxitems',1);

CarpConf('iorder','link');

I have the carp folder in : wtricks.com/forums/carp and the cache folder is in wtricks.com/forums/carp/cache ...

Thank you again for any possible tips as how to solve this :)

I will pay 15 bucks via PayPal to the person who will make an installable and working product for vB 3.6.x from this one. If someone is interested, please PM me

I don't even get an error - it just shows the Blog: and no link or text at all.

Any ideas ?

Did you create and run the cron job ("scheduled task") to update the feeds?

No I have not as that is not in the instructions to do that I can find.

My aplologies - you're correct. That was for another add-on I tried that didn't work properly for me.

If I recall correctly, I had to fiddle with this a bit to get it to work.

Make sure that your Carp Configuration plugin looks like this:

Code:

require_once '/full/server/path/to/forum/carp/carp.php';

CarpConf('cacheinterval',120);

CarpConf('cborder','');

CarpConf('poweredby','');

CarpConf('maxitems',1);

CarpConf('iorder','link');

CarpConf('linktarget',1);

And that your Get Users Blog Entry plugin looks like this:

Code:

ob_start();

CarpCacheShow($post[field6]);

$blogentry = ob_get_contents();

ob_end_clean();

Then double check that the correct field is identified in the edits to your postbit:

Code:

<if condition="$post['field6']">

<div class="smallfont">Recent Blog: $blogentry</div>

</if>

In the supplied example, it is field5. For my forum it was field6. It may be different for you forum.
