bug in the example crontab from cron4rss.php

[ardiederich]

In 1.4.8 and 1.5.0 rc4 you have an example crontab line of
0 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php -f /path/to/your/faq//xml/cron4rss.php

-f just parses the file. You should run it like
0 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php -/path/to/your/faq/xml/cron4rss.php
to create the files.

I'm also getting a parse error in the output for the latest feed, using opera 8.01 as my newsreader. It's the blank encoding:
$output = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"".$PMF_LANG["metaCharset"]."\" standalone=\"yes\" ?>\n<rss version=\"2.0\">\n<channel>\n";

which outputs:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="" standalone="yes" ?>

Where should my PMF_LANG be set?

Hi Andrew,

cron4rss.php isn't anymore in v1.5. but I'll fix it for 1.4.9.

I'll check the problem with the lost charset.

Yup, it's not in 1.5. I was not looking in my test setup, like I thought I was.

So, if the cron script isn't in 1.5, will there be something else to do the same thing? Will there even be the rss feed?

Hi,

in 1.5 the RSS files will be generated on the fly.

Ah, I see them down in feed/latest, news, topten, now. Thanks for the tip.
