rss.php problems

simply to set up an rss feed that can be linked to by RSSOwl. phpBB has a file that when placed in the root provides the feed. When I try to use the script that is on this board and save it etc. I can not get it to run.... there seems to be an error on lin 90 which is a series of symbols.

no with rss.php... should I be linking to extern,php?

This is pretty amazing. The source that I had found on the board searching rss feed was:

which was really frustrating me. I still went ahead and recommended punBB on our www.zedfiles.com site as one of the two forums for our complulation.

If this works it is good news... the less than good news is that I willl have to tear the whole thing apart since it was launched yesterday... but it would be worth it. Did you have time to see the site????

Yeah, it looks good.
I just took a look at what you're talking about. The fix is:

Change line 90 to

        $entities_decimal     = array(" ","¡","¢","£","¤","¥","¦","§","¨","©","ª","«","¬","­","®","¯","°","±","²","³","´","µ","¶","·","¸","¹","º","»","¼","½","¾","¿","À","Á","Â","Ã","Ä","Å","Æ","Ç","È","É"," ","Ë","Ì","Í","Î","Ï","Ð","Ñ","Ò","Ó","Ô","Õ","Ö","×","Ø","Ù","Ú","Û","Ü","Ý","Þ","ß","à","á","â","ã","ä","å","æ","ç","è","é","ê","ë","ì","í","î","ï","ð","ñ","ò","ó","ô","õ","ö","÷","ø","ù","ú","û","ü","ý","þ","ÿ","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","\"","&","<",">","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","?","'");

The guy didn't escape a " properly: that line has it fixed

Well the first thing now is to tear it apart and get punBB in. I thought that I had it baked

I saw NuPusi for the first time tonight. It is amazing that one can work at something ang then one day the same thing pops up. Anyhow, it is for intranets and for Private Networks and runs on WAMP...  The ZedFiles was the first project... has all of the library... it all started because we are a charity and this was a way to get good technology into the hands of folks that do not have hi-speed. If you have the zedfiles then you could pick something like Mambo and run it as a whole portal or whatever.... the major thing is that everything is preconfigured so you just frag and drop from the cd and start the services.

Email me off line and we can work out getting you a complete cd.

I really appreciate your help... now I need to figure out which rss file to use... Smartys fix really did fix it.

really cool.... especially when you have notepad2.... what a quick fix.... thank you

I'm confused. What does rss.php do that PunBB's built-in RSS generator (extern.php) doesn't do?

Spent a lot of time and had some great input from others.

It will depend on the objectives of the "site" pun is used on. If it is high traffic, syndicaiton may not be a high priority... other than as a front page summary... if it is used for dialogue especially on an internal net then it is a different story.

Anyhow, the rss.php script found on the board through using "rss syndication" as a search term brings up a file that is not part of core for punBB. So, that is where the confusion is. Until there is an alternative Justine, I would suggest that you focus on extern.php.
