RP, Thanks will try tomorrow.

Nu, Confirm that pbwiki rss xml url, using MSIE 7.0 now can view the RSS content. Will await the fix that WidgetBox said is coming to allow that service to read the RSS content.

Making progress!

Do be aware that the content of the SideBar will remain deleted, however.

Hi James- you're in luck. Sidebars are on of the few things that once deleted, you can get back. Just create a new page and name it "SideBar" (Make sure the S and B are capitalized) and your Sidebar should be back.

"Your help service was down for almost two days."

They are supposed to be hiring some weekend help staff.

Can't speak to the RSS problem, b/c I don't use it.

That code is a bit awkward for embedding. Are you sure there isn't just some iframe code you might be able to use that is shorter?

Hi James,

Thanks for sending us this information. The problem will be fixed in our next release. The issue is due to a non-standard element that Bloglines is inserting into the top of your feed "<access:restriction>". You may be able to work around this if you try using another service to deliver your feed content. Alternatively, you can wait until the new code goes out in a few weeks.

Hope this helps!

i guess it was too big for this form and got truncated... but it's a mess of code that starts and ends with script tags (multiple ones, not only script in between) i've tried to get the html and css out and use just the scripts.. but that doesn't work either... im kinda stuck

how do u do that? where do u get the code? the code i've found doesn't seem to work. so far i've tried variations of this code from the xml file of the google calendar gadget (in the "add any google gadget" area):

I agree that this is important and needs to be addressed soon. I use feeds a lot but I don't bother with pbwiki because their RSS is to cumbersome to manage. Page- and Folder-specific feeds would be really useful. Look at the fine control you get with Get satisfaction and others and you will see that pbwiki fall very short of the mark with RSS.

Seanmac

Thanks for the reply!

This is an important request, because the RSS transfer as it stands now includes ALL edits. That is useless for viewers. This page has a RSS address that works fine.

Goal is to select for a RSS feed ONLY the content for news reports or articles, and to exclude the housekeeping edits.

Is there a work around to achieve that goal?

Also why is the RSS uld at the bottom of the CPAgroup WiKi site have the address: http://cpagroup.pbwiki.com/rss2.php

The RSS xml url appears as: http://cpagroup.pbwiki.com/rss.php
as the default.

Since either RSS url won't work with WidgetBox or SpringWidget, there is still some issue to be resolved.

Ideas for a solution???

Hello there!

Things like per-page and per-folder RSS feeds are definitely things we are looking into. Sometimes you really only want to know about a section of a wiki, and especially for large wikis having tons of updates isn't all the useful.

Adding these features isn't a small task however so it may be a while before we get them in. The more people we hear from who'd like this feature however the more attention we'll give it, and the better excuse we'll have to make it a priority since we want it too!

So no promises as to when, but we agree they're a great idea.

Which Widgetbox widget are you using? Some of them work while others don't. One of the ones that didn't work gave me a message that the https protocol wouldn't work, so that could be some clue.

Nu,

Got the FeedBurner feed to work. Needed to delete several features within FeedBurner.

Widgetbox still does not find the RSS feed.

https://cpagroup.pbwiki.com/rss.php
https://cpagroup.pbwiki.com/rss2.php
http://cpagroup.pbwiki.com/rss.php
http://cpagroup.pbwiki.com/rss2.php
cpagroup.pbwiki.com/rss.php
cpagroup.pbwiki.com/rss2.php
http://feeds.feedburner.com/CPAgroupWiki

all tried and not work.

Any other ideas?

Thanks much for your help!

JH

Nu,

I did try http://cpagroup.pbwiki.com/rss2.php
Same results.

Do you know of a different FEED generator service so I could test?

FeedBurner is as solid as they get. I'm using over 50 feeds now with no problem.

I can't create a new account within FeedBurner with either RSS url's.

Will try again.

JH

I typed in https://cpagroup.pbwiki.com/rss2.php and the feed came out valid. Can you try that instead?

Nu,

Note the rss uls for: http://cpagroup.pbwiki.com/rss.php
and for http://cpagroup.pbwiki.com/rss2.php are getting the same error from FeedBurner and the Validator results are below.

The RSS url works in the address line of the browser to bring up the RSS page, but why are there two xml url's ???

http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?ur...

FeedBurnerError getting URL: 301 - Moved Permanently

Identify Feed Source
Back to My Feeds
The feed URL you entered is:

http://cpagroup.pbwiki.com/rss.php

We could not find a valid feed at that address. Here are some possible reasons this might have happened:

Is the feed valid? Confirm its validity now.

The feed your site already creates needs to be “valid enough” to work with FeedBurner. This post from the FeedBurner Help Center explains why technical validity matters.

Are you using the URL of the web page or the URL of the feed?

FeedBurner is usually able to "auto-discover" your feed from a web page, but in this case we didn't find any related feeds. You may want to enter the URL of the feed directly.

Is the URL is misspelled or a copy+paste action didn't work?

If that's the case, please try again.
