Hi,

I used the previous 2.3 version and the titles are all linked to the feed and the source were linked to the main blog itself. For this new version for joomla 3.0, the titles and sources seem to be linked to the feeds only. Is there any way I can link it to the blog itself. I thought the look will be better if my visitors are linked to the nicely designed blogs.

Thank you.

Hello April,

I will need a link to understand the issue.

Hi,

Feed 1: feeds.feedburner.com/thebottomsupblog
Old version: Image is shown in module
New version: Image is not shown in module
Links comparison: Both versions give the same title link (thebottomsupblog.com/the-art-of-being-9/) and blog link (thebottomsupblog.com/)


Feed 2: feeds.feedburner.com/SakuraHaruka
Old version: TItle link (www.sakuraharuka.com/2015/08/program-progress-report-operation-week-6.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+SakuraHaruka+%28Sakura+Haruka%29); blog link (www.sakuraharuka.com/)
New version: TItle link (www.sakuraharuka.com/feeds/1045299109918163915/comments/default); blog link (www.sakuraharuka.com/)
Image comparison: Both versions give the same image


Feed 3: made-beautifully.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default
Old version: Title link (made-beautifully.blogspot.sg/2015/08/sponsored-post-beautiful-me-pre-launch.html); blog link (made-beautifully.blogspot.sg/)
New version: Title link (made-beautifully.blogspot.com/feeds/4958697762071337104/comments/default); blog link (made-beautifully.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default)
Links comparison: Both versions give the same title link (thebottomsupblog.com/the-art-of-being-9/) and blog link (thebottomsupblog.com/)

Is it possible to try again with the dev version?
You can get it from here github.com/joomlaworks/simple-rss-feed-reader

Hi,

Unfortunately, it doesn't help. The links still linked me to the feed. eg.

Title link: mylilbookworm.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default
Blog link: mylilbookworm.blogspot.com/feeds/1913126442735947513/comments/default

@april

I don't get what you are saying. Each article is linked in the link provided by the feed. If you are talking about the link at the bottom of the module, this is something you set in the module settings.

Hi,

Sorry that I didn't explain myself clear.

For example: I have a feed link: www.cheekiemonkie.net/feeds/posts/default

The old version of the extension gives the following:
Title: www.cheekiemonkie.net/2015/08/top-picks-of-singapore-night-festival.html
Blog site (after title): www.cheekiemonkie.net/

The new version of the extension gives the following:
Title: www.cheekiemonkie.net/feeds/5147987375934979365/comments/default
Blog site (after title): www.cheekiemonkie.net/feeds/posts/default

When using Google Chrome, the new version will open up a long series of words instead of directing to the blog. I am hoping to direct the readers to the blog site as per last time.

As i already explained to you the link at the bottom of the module needs to be set in the module options. The other links ( each entry's link ) is generated according to your feed.

Can you try to use a different feed and see if it works?

Finally the way your browser displays the feed has nothing to do with the extension.

I'm having the same problem as april. Let me take another stab at explaining it.

First, we are talking about item links, not the link at the bottom.

The item link points to the feed itself, not the address of a feed item. So regardless of what browser you're using, you get either an XML dump of the feed properties or a page for subscribing to the feed, not the item itself.

I don't know about the feed april is having trouble with, but it's possible that this only affects Blogger and FeedBurner feeds, as I see on the first page of reviews of this extension on extensions.joomla.org that another user had the same problem and was able to fix it by adding "?alt=rss" to the feed URL. Unfortunately, that solution is not working for me.

I just applied a quick fix: github.com/joomlaworks/simple-rss-feed-reader/commit/4de7dd0f81228ca0cc62658008e9fa995ae8c209 .

Apply the patch and let me know if it works for you.

Yes! That works. Thank you very much.

You are welcome.

Hello!
I have the same problem.
When I'tried to patch helper.php with your code, the homepage (where the module is actived) was blank! (only that page where is the module).

Php version 5.5
Any suggestion? :(

@Luca Silva

A blank page indicates a PHP error. This means that probably you applied the patch incorrectly. Try again and it should work.
