embedded rss functionality displays nothing

[nmallory]

The Dashboard rss feeds and any widgets that should and used to display things like de.licio.us bookmarks and flickr photos have stopped working 99.9% of the time. A peak at generated source code reveals nothing is generated and no error appears in any log or the source page.

This sounds like #8825: gzip'ed RSS feeds are not gzinflate()'d

Mother! I'll have the patch tomorrow. Go to the support forums. Unless the gzip patch fixes your problem.

I don't think it's the same as #8825. There is no error message and this affects more than just widgets. None of the Dashboard RSS feeds are appearing.

I've been to the support forum. I know other people have the same issue with the Dashboard RSS feed. I've posted about both but no one has replied with a fix.

I don't know what to do with the patch.txt file in 8825 -- how do I insert it?

TIA!

No error messages are shown for 8825, feed just fails to load.

Also, try adding define('MAGPIE_FETCH_TIME_OUT', 20); to your config file, its a game of guessing unless you can tell us what is wrong :)

can't we close this one as invalid now, since mapgie is no longer around?

[DD32]

no further reporter info, and the logic behind the rss has changed since reporting (Magpie -> SimplePie + more)
