Hi Again.

 

Now I’m on to the News Feed Module and RSS Feed.

 

Is the News Feeds 04.00.00 quite different from the one used in the Tutorials?

Or am I on the wrong track somewhere?

 

I have managed to get one feed working

http://feeds.feedburner.com/EntrepreneursJourney

 

But all other including Australia News and DNN Creative feeds gives me download error?

 

Feed 'http://www.abc.net.au/newsradio/rss/TOURISTINFORMATION.xml' could not be loaded. Error: Download error

 

Feed 'http://www.dnncreative.com/Articles/tabid/99/articleType/CategoryView/categoryId/36/Articles-RSS.aspx' could not be loaded. Error: Download error

Hi Again.

 

Seems like the “News Feed Style Sheet” option is changed to “XSL Transformation?

And that it is as a Module setting option only, rather than individual feed settings?

 

I also found the files: Default, Ticker and VScroll.xsl??

 

Could I also assume that the RSS 0.91 is gone today, leaving us with 2.0 – or maybe later version?

 

The below is features I can’t find in my 4.0 News Feed Module?

1.       Under News Feed Style Sheet, select “Link Type: File (A File On Your Site)”

2.       Click on Upload New File

3.       Upload the new XSL file

4.       Click on Update

And the following is the News Feed 4.0 Default.xsl.

  <xsl:for-each select="channel/item[position()<=$ItemsToShow or $ItemsToShow<1]">

   <p class="DNN_News_ItemLink">

    <a href="{link}" target="_main">

     <xsl:value-of select="title"/>

    a>

   p>

   <xsl:if test="$ShowItemDate='true'">

    <p class="DNN_News_ItemDate">

     <xsl:value-of select="pubDate"/>

    p>

   xsl:if>

   <xsl:if test="$ShowItemDetails='true'">

    <p class="DNN_News_ItemDetails">

     <xsl:value-of select="description" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>

    p>

   xsl:if>

One last bit before bedtime.

 

With the below section in the “.xsl” I managed to get it down to title and date only, and also get an empty line in between.

 

I tried “false” here to remove the content but it had no result:

   <xsl:if test="$ShowItemDetails='false'">

So I commented out the entire section.

 

As I mention, I have only the “Module Option” to choose “.xsl” file here in 4.0.

 

So, how do I select the settings for several different feeds?

 

If I have 5 feeds and want to show 5 items from each feed?

 

 

Good Night.

 

  <xsl:for-each select="channel/item[position()< 6]">

   <p class="DNN_News_ItemLink">

    <a href="{link}" target="_main">

     <xsl:value-of select="title"/>

    a>

   p>

   <xsl:if test="$ShowItemDate='true'">

    <p class="DNN_News_ItemDate">

     <xsl:value-of select="pubDate"/>

      <br />

      <br />

    p>

   xsl:if>

In my humble opinion, the latest News Feed Module (version 4.00) is a complete piece of crap.  It has been coded so rigorously to adhere to web 2.0 standards that many, many news feeds don't have their code to live up to this modules standards.  I know that a new version is in Beta to take care of most of the problems that everyone is experiencing, however, until that version comes out, everybody who uses this version of the module is FUBAR.

Check out dotnetnuke.com and see how many people are complaining about this version of the module.  It's mind-boggling that it's taking this long to get a new version out there.

Again, IMHO.

 If the core DNN News feed isn't working very well at the moment, I would look at Orizonti NukeFeeds module, its much better and easy to configure and setup multiple feeds
