Do

Simple RSS Reader does not keep opml file

Asked by sucider

When i try to set the opml file in the "Simple RSS Reader v1.0" with this file "http://scripting.com/feeds/top100x.opml" ,for example, and click on the "close" button, then "settings" button again, the "file" field is as it was before i tried to pick the file. The result is that i am unable to use the feeds i want with the plugin.
I have tried with opml files generated with "http://reader.feedshow.com/goodies/opml/OPMLBuilder-create-opml-from-rss-list.php" too. Same...

Also when Gnome-Do is started in terminal, i got this message :
"[Error 21:34:55.938] Could not read OPML file http://www.scripting.com/feeds/top100.opml: Document Type Declaration (DTD) is prohibited in this XML. http://www.scripting.com/feeds/top100.opml Line 1, position 10."

I don't know if it's linked since i tried with different files.

My questions are : is it a known bug ? Is there something special to write in the opml file to make it work ? Am i doing something wrong ?

I don't know if it's the right place for this topic but i like the idea of rss reading via gnome-do so i'd really like to make it work properly :)

PS : no info on "http://do.davebsd.com/wiki/RSS_Plugin"

Thanks
Gnome-do is awesome !

I found a way to avoid the problem by editing the key whith gconf-editor :
apps->gnome-do->preferences->do->plugins->rss->rssitemsource->opmlfile

I entered the adress of my local opml file instead of "http://www.scripting.com/feeds/top100.opml". Now it works.

In conclusion there are two intricated problems :

- First there is no opml file at the exact adress given by default. So the plugin cannot display feeds from opml.
- Then the plugin seems unable (at least on my machine and after several atempts of uninstalling/reinstalling) to change the opmlfile key.

The important problem is the plugin's.
So the question now is : is it a bug or does it come from my installation only ?

No its not just you :)

I had exactly the same problem and editing the location of the .opml file in gconf is the only solution that I could come up with as well.

Hope this helps!

Now to sort out the Ping.fm plugin.... :-/

Can you help with this problem?
