Use greader from a pc first. And make the feeds public. Watch ur public site and click atom link on the right. Copy That link.

I just installed this great widget, really like it. I hope the date-time format in footer can be customized in the next version. The format is too long, year and second are not necessary to display in footer.

I've just resumed working on the widget. Next version will add greader integration and some sharing support. I'll try to look at the date format - no promise though

Just removing the year and second is enough, without customization menu is also OK ....

This widget is simple, the news is summarized in widget and with just one click the full story is displayed, really love it. Sharing support is also a great plan for next version....can't wait it ....

What type of feed can this read, i've tried an Atom feed, also rss 1.0 and 2.0 but it still doesnt load.

gdodinet · Apr 10, 2011

Both rss and atom are supported. I'm not sure why none of the feeds your tried load but you should check the urls when adding the feed (use the 'check' button). I suppose you could also try to paste the exact url in a browser just to be on the safe side -- the ui to add a feed is not exactly user-friendly yet although a lookup feature has been added it is not bullet-proof (mobile version of some site donot emit the rss link). Also i guess you use a supported launcher (It won't work with stock launchers).

I've tried the following links and they dont work.

https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?RSS&L=GIS-JOBS&v=2.0
https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?RSS&L=GIS-JOBS&v=ATOM1.0

Thanks a lot for the failing urls. I indeed cannot make them to work. I guess this might be due to the https protocol. It has been reported to not work -- i didn't take the time to look at this issue yet. In your case, changing the protocol to http doesn't work neither because it seems that a redirection is involved. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Good news. Thanks to your urls, i've isolated and fixed the issue. It was a rather dumb error on my part (i'll spare you the embarassing details).

I also partly dropped rome rss parser because it exposes a critical issue regarding performance. I use now feedgoal instead which supports rss, atom and rdf in a very simple way. Performances are now way better!

All those changes will be part of the next version (simplified footer date included). Next version should land relatively recently (give or take a month top).

zeam

so as many of you know zeam just removed scrollable api. Is there a workaround?
Or screw zeam, tell me what launcher has that 3d cube thing look?

You should try Go Launcher Ex. It has this effect and many more.

"Feed has moved"

Hey,

Since yesterday I have a stupid issue.
The widget keeps given "Feed has moved This feed has moved to ." on top.
If there is new news incoming it just stays on top, so the news is always the second line.
I've already deleted and re-added the widget, changed to a different feed, but it keeps giving this.

I really love this widget because it's the only one I can customize that way it fits my theme... but this little bug really f's it up...

Please give me a solution for this problem French boy-wonder!

Thanks!

Hi,

Without further details i cannot say for sure, but my guess is that the url for the feed has changed, and the new url has been stripped. One way to know for sure would be to try loading the url on a desktop computer. If you don't mind giving the url i could also give it a try this week-end (for now i can only get internet with my phone - sorry for any typo).

No I don't mind at all good sir: http://www.feedrinse.com/services/channel/?chanurl=5a9181825b2878d4e5fedd601f1ef80a

Hey, do you think you can add some theme support, so that we can change the background as well?

Loading the feed with chrome and looking at the source, i found this item :

Code:

<item> 
    <title>Feed has moved</title> 
    <link></link> 
    <description><![CDATA[This feed has moved to .]]></description> 
    <guid isPermaLink="false">Feed has moved</guid> 
</item>

So it appears the link has not been slurped as i thought, but is not included at all.

I only took a quick look but it seems to me that this is androidcentral feed, if so this feed should be ok: feeds.feedburner.com/androidcentral. If not (aggregation, etc.), you should maybe grab the new feed url from the original site directly.

I hope this helps.

That was on the todo list. I delayed this item because the version of the scrollable api that is used (v1) does make it a little trickier (v1 is required for LP compatibility).
