This sounds like a great module. Could you provide a working example?

I've tried to display a google calendar as a feed source. I've also tried to take that same calendar from feedburner using feedburner's rss feed.

I've followed the instructions. Made a link field, assigned the display for that field to Parss. Let the default settings. However nothing is displayed. I've tested some other simple news feeds as well and just haven't seen anything appear yet.

Could you lay out a simple but specific walkthrough with an actual feed to use so I can make sure I'm using this module correctly.

Hi guys, sorry for the extremely late reply! Sounds like you've set it up properly...

OK, a quick debug session.

  1. Have you downloaded and installed the PaRSS jQuery library at sites/all/libraries/parss ??? The 7.x-1.0 version had a bug which stopped administrators being alerted if the library was missing, so it was not an obvious problem to fix.
  2. The actual PaRSS library had a bug a little while ago where it was using a $() object rather than jQuery(). Drupal 7 has jQuery.noConflict() enabled. Try using the version I've rehosted here: http://nicksantamaria.net/article/rehosting-parss-jquery-library (I've tested and use this version myself)
  3. Is there any content in the RSS feed?

Get back to me if you're still having these issues and we'll work through the problem.

Hey Nick,

Awesome concept and I really want to enable on my site, but I can't get it to work either.

What I've done:

When I display the link as a linked title or as a link it goes directly to the feed I want (just testing various feeds for now), so I know the link is valid.

I put the library in the appropriate place (I think): Sites/all/libraries/parss/(the .js file are here)

I'm using the version from your page: http://nicksantamaria.net/article/rehosting-parss-jquery-library (the zipped file)

Hopefully there is an obvious answer. Thanks!

Cheers,

CP

Hey Nick - OK - I got it tol work using a CNN.com rss feed, but I can't get it to work using an ebay feed:

feed://rest.ebay.com/epn/v1/find/item.rss?keyword=bed&categoryId1=134278&sortOrder=BestMatch&programid=1&campaignid=5336688888&toolid=10039&listingType1=All&lgeo=1&descriptionSearch=true&feedType=rss

Any ideas?

I've tried making feed --> http

I've tried assing .rss to the end

I'm stuck on this.

Thanks ahead of time,

CP

@CarbonPig - I'm nearly entirely sure that PaRSS only supports http and https URLs. I am not particularly familiar with how eBay provides RSS feeds, so might be something you need to discuss with their support team. Sorry I could not be of more assistance.
