RSS Feed won't load

Hello,
I'm having problems with Orca forum RSS block on the homepage. It
won't load, still showing the "Loading.." picture. Having problems with other
RSS readers(in Dolphin intergrated) too. Was browsing the web with no
result, I appeciate any help. Thank you

I've had the same issue, check that your server has allowed the use of the allow_url_fopen directive.

Check whether the javascripts are loaded in your browser correctly. Make no restriction from the server side. You can check your error log.

I'm getting exactly the same problem.

I checked the raw RSS feed from the fourms and it's showing a list of forum posts, but Dolphin isn't showing the feed, it just shows the loading icon going round in circles.

I have recently changed the forums to use phpBB3 and the same problem persists.

I have checked my PHP settings and allow_url_fopen is enabled at both local and master levels.

PS: Robvon, I like your style sheets for your site, is there a link to where you got it from ?

Thanks famarx! It solved the problem. Ive asked mine provider to change "allow_url_fopen" to "on" and it works perfectly now. Gib123 there must be some other problem by you. My style sheets are from http://www.flashdaweb.com/ .

If the javascripts are not loaded it will cause that problem.

Also if you have changed to phpbb you have to change the feed links also.

Ok..mine just started doing this....which javascripts are we talking about?? Sometimes we need to be alittle more clear on here than just say...make sure the javascripts are loaded.

Isn't Dolphin full of javascripts? I am using the default Orca forum.  Anyone can help explain this alittle more clear?

Seems that at

http://www.avatari.cz

problem was resolved, isn`t it?

are you understand problem ?

You can see your settings if you create a file called phpinfo.php in the root and put this in the script

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

I also cannot get the rss feeds working. The option above is already turned on and im rearly lost. Anymore help?

Many Thanks

My RSS feeds will not load also....

I checked with my hosting provider and all is set correctly on my server.

Do I need to set these up? I put my website address and saved but still spinning/loading?

Recheck your

php_value allow_url_fopen 0

it should be On (1)

.. or commented ..

are you have allowed url fopen ?

That is deffo on. check urself at quackchat.com/phpinfo.php

Mines on   http://tvchatfriends.com/phpinfo.php as you can see but despite looking on a daily basis online for a solution, there is none forthcoming!

It's a real shame as I do like the software!

Let me know hw you guys get on!

The solution seems to be to turn on allow_url_fopen in your php.ini but according to several security experts this would create a security hole in the system. My quick search around didn't help me finding an alt solution (there is actually one [maybe two] for local resources but none [?] for remote URLs). For the time being I decided to do as follows: I turned off the flag as a default for the server but I loaded a separate php.ini file in the Dolphin main directory with allow_url_fopen set to "on". I am just waiting to see whether I will get hacked ... Hope this helps

maxsil,

that has been enabled on my server since i incorporated this fine script. but i am going to tell you what i do know. this was not present in 6.1.2. this is absolutely a problem with the rss not feeding on this release of orca. so if i get the time, i am going to look at the diff and see what was changed between 6.1.2 and the files on 6.1.4 for orca, and or the get_rss.php file.

i seen another post where they said it was working if you fed the data across some other server, and not back across your own server. i havent tried that yet.

This worked great went and opened my notepad pasted this code:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

clicked save as phpinfo.php.txt  then uploaded it with my ftp had to save it as a txt in the notepad so went to my cpanel and renamed it to just phpinfo.php

then typed in my www.mysitename.com/phpinfo.php and it showed me my allow_url_fopen  were set to off.

I called my host and they turned them to on and it showed my rss feeds on the site.

Hope this helps anyone else out.

You need to use the BUILT-IN /admin/phpinfo.php that is ALREADY there and password protected
INSTEAD of creating a new one for the whole world to see!
