XML Plugins 0.11 & Gravatar 0.3

Thursday, 25 November 2004

I’ve updated all my Nucleus plugins.

As of version 0.3 the Gravatar plugin now outputs valid XHTML entities encoded links, which should make sure it won’t cause any validation issues. Also updated are the XML Plugins (RSS/Atom Reader, RSS/Atom Aggregator and XBEL Reader), which now offer a slightly improved parsing algorithm for all feed types. This updated algorithm solves a bug that was most visible with the Slashdot RSS feed, by showing extra information in the title of the feed.

    Your RSS feed does not seem to be working at the moment.

    Posting comments is a bit screwy at the moments… I’m experimenting with a new Nucleus plugin I’m working on…. <b>HTMLComments</b> < see, it’s working already :)

    I am using Persian language for my website and unfortunately this plug-in can not show the content in default encoding (utf-8). We using utf-8 encoding for Persian characters and when I use this plug-in to show some content from another persian website with the same encoding, the result is some gibberish ASCI characters.
    I saw in you XMLsupport.php that you using ISO-8601 for encoding and I also tried to replace that with utf-8, but no effect, same result.

    Any though what would be the solution?

    Mehran: I’m currently testing a UTF-8 friendlier version that should solve your problems. I hope to be able to release it somewhere tomorrow.

    Hi, is they a way to get the feeds working from behind a proxy, like a way to supply the HTTP proxy IP and Port to the script?

    P.S. RSS/Atom Reader is the one I’m trying to get working. Thanks.

    Brian: With some hacking it should be possible, provided you have the
    PHP cURL extension installed on your webserver. I not able to test it, but I
    think it should look like this:

    Edit NP_XMLSupport. Go to line 340 – 345. Below the other curl_setopt()
    functions add the following two lines: 

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, '10.10.10.10:8080');
    
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD, 'username:password');

    Rakaz, Where do you release the new update for UNICODE support? Here or in Nucleus forum?

  12. Brian wrote on December 2nd, 2004 at 10:42 am

    rakaz: that was perfect :)

    I checked PHP cURL was installed and added in the CURLOPT_PROXY line with the proxy details and it worked perfectly

    thanks so much
