UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.threads 7 Version 7 Support RSS feed setup not working

Hi all. Just tried to set up a feed for one of our forums and got this message when trying to subscribe from the browser address bar and from Forum Options:


Could not find anything in Permissions related to RSS.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Tee

The feeds are stored in the cache folder like:
/forums/cache/rss5.xml
where in this case rss5 is forum number five.

So either your folder file permissions are incorrect for the cache folder.
Or you overlooked the enable selection.

GOTO Control Panel » RSS Feeds
check if the feed shows it enabled.

Also check
Control Panel » Permission Checks
and see if you have a okay for the cache folder
you can also click on each item in the check and it will expand to check the files that are in it.

Be sure your cache is chmodded 777 then try to rebuild the cache and see if the file has been created.

Hi Ruben.

1. Yes, the Feed for the forum is active:
- Cache time = 5 minutes
- Create RSS Feed is checked
- RSS Feed time. I tried both New Posts and Recent Posts. Left it at Recent Posts
- Number of topics/posts to include = 10
- Include body in feed. I set that to 200.

2. Yes, the cache folder is ok. Here are the files:




The xml file ( /ubbthreads/cache/rss1.xml ) is not generating as I checked the cache folder online.

Did I miss something else?

Thanks!

The directory was 755 so I changed it to 777. Do you mean clear cache in the CP now?

Thanks

Try what Gizmo suggested,
Clear the cache to force a rebuild.
Then see if you have any feed files in the cache folder.
I do know in some cases to clear the cache. You may need to ftp to the folder and delete everything except for the html file.

Another thing you may try is while in Control Panel » RSS Feeds
select the my feeds tab and enable the feature.
That will enable a feeds selection in the mystuff menu.

Yes, it worked and now can read the feeds.
Thanks very much!

which method worked?

Sorry, chmod to 777 and clearing the cache allowed my reader to pick up the feed.

Have a great New Years.

Okay cool.
Then if someone else views this topic they can see a resolution.

One more question, if I may, to round this out. I can't find where to enable the "My Feeds" option, as per the FAQ:


We have only one feeded forum, is that why "My Feeds" don't show up under the "My Stuff" dropdown?

The feed does show up under "Forum Options" just fine.

Thanks,
tee

Go to the rss in the cp and click the third tab called my feed and check Enable the 'My Feeds' option for 'My Stuff' menu?

Oh man. Do you know of any sales for glasses?

Thanks!

LOL, no worries we have all been there and are still there at times

When I clicked on My Stuff/Feeds it was quite a shock to see all the forums listed with the RSS icon beside them even after reading the blurb before enabling My Feeds. Yikes.
I guess I was expecting to just see the one forum we had enabled to be shown rather than the entire 20 forums.
I know, I have permissions for all of them but, what's the question, how do people know which ones have been enabled if all the forums show up with RSS icons for their permissions if only a select few (or one, as in this case) has been enabled?

Thanks again,
tee

they'll only see feeds in my feeds for forums they are allowed to see

admins usually see everything

Thanks for the confirmation.
