Is ist possible to run the Module two times on my homepage? When I copy the module, it`s only showing it one time.

Your case is different than the first one. In your case, 2 out of the 3 feeds are being displayed. This could be a problem with the feed itself. Try opening those feed URL in browser directly and see the output.

I had selected vertical... when I changed it to vertical stacked, it showed 3 feeds. I am very interested in having the module appear 2 times though... can't wait for that update. On mine it does show the text "loading feed" with the credits underneath... it just never loads the second group of feeds.
Thanks!

This seems to be an issue with Google API which this module use. We came across some people who are having similar issues while using Google API. We'll keep looking and update the module with the fix once the same is available from Google.

is there any way to grab images from posts of the RSS?

Looks nice, but I couldn't get it to install. Kept getting an error message that it could not find a file, so it was deleted.

I was using this successfully, even though I was not happy that I could not load more than one module to the page...
However, here I am and I discovered that it is not loading feeds at all. I checked all settings and it is enabled... but for some reason my feeds stopped working... any ideas?
help! Had to replace with something else temporarily until I can figure this out.
Thanks!

Can you send the link to your page? Also, did you check that your feeds are working fine by pasting the feed URL in browser?

hello
i can't' install it. It tell me JFolder::create: Infinite loop detected" Can someone help me? Thanks

This is not an issue with our module. It's an issue with your Joomla installation/configuration and this is quite a common issue. You can search Joomla forums to find more about it. If you'll try to install any other extension then also you may get this issue.

Hi, this is an excellent module and very easy to use. Thank you for developing it.

I would like to know if it is possible to increase the number of stories from at the moment to having unlimited stories so that you can have a scroll bar to see all the stories.

I am using the bbc rss feeds and only allowing 4 stories is not very good.

Also i understand that the feed stories are captured by joomla. Where do you store these stories?
Thanks

This module is based on Google Ajax RSS API. Number of feeds are controlled by the JavaScript which this extension use. Since the module doesn't keep a local copy of JS, it's not possible to modify the number of feeds. You can copy the JavaScript and modify it to suit your needs and update the reference to JavaScript in module PHP file. However I am not sure if you add more feeds, it'll show scroll bar. I guess it'll simply extend the page height instead of adding scroll bar.

Feeds are not stored by Joomla anywhere, they are dynamically picked and shown in the module. I hope this information helps.

i would like to copy the module twice allso! Its a great module, but i can use it only if it can be copyed many times on the front page. Can you fix this, or i should find something else to my rss news educational portal?

Hi

How did you do to place the module inside your article

Thank you. My solution does not work (plugin sourcerer to insert code)

{source}

{/source}

You need to use loadposition plugin for Joomla for publishing module inside articles. loadposition module is by default installed and enabled.

You can follow this link to understand how this can be done - http://docs.joomla.org/How_do_you_put_a_module_inside_an_article%3F

nice

Is it possible to manipulate the layout/look and feel.

I am using the vertical stacked option - left position. But would like a narrower display. The deadlines are cutoff. I would like to adjust if possible. Wrap on.

i like this a lot, but it seems when a long title of an article loads it breaks my template.
any way to maybe set max size or words?
gonna dig in and look ---

nice mod though!

I just deleted the reference to the css and pasted same css in the htm file so i could play with it. got things good now - thanks anyway!

I would love to have more than 3 feeds. I sometimes like to have as many as 10. Is this possible? If not, is it something that will be soon? Out of all the readers I have tried, I like the look of this one best. But what would really put this one over the top for me is additional feed fields.

Thanks for the appreciation. We'll soon be releasing a new version where you can have more feeds and you will be able to change CSS (colors, font etc)

Do you have an idea as to when the new version will be available?

New version will be available mostly in this month ..

Hi,

Is it possible to reduce the width of the vertical stacked version?

I have it inside an article (following guide above, thanks) but it is slightly too large and my modules stacked on the left cover part of it.

This is turn stops my articles ordering correctly, this article should be second on my page.

In this version, no CSS property can be changed however next release will be with CSS file which will allow users to make look and feel changes by modifying CSS.

I just downloaded your latest copy of Google Ajax RSS reader again today. I receive the following message when try to install:

JFolder::files: Path does not point to a valid folder or the folder has been deleted.
JFolder::folder: Path does not point to a valid folder or the folder has been deleted.
JFolder::files: Path does not point to a valid folder or the folder has been deleted.

Any thoughts? Thanks.

Are you able to install any other Joomla extension on your site?

Yes I am. With absolutely no problems. Thanks for your assistance.

Strange. Send us a mail at info (at) sopan tech(dot) com

We'll send you a copy of extension.

Nice extension. When I get home, I think I'll install it on a few of my Joomla sites! Looks great!

I can install other joomla comp. or modules.

can you pls sent me the file: oho1504@gmail.com Thanks

Sent module files to your email.

Might be a dumb question....Are there instructions?

Got it installed with no problems..not sure how to display it and customize it.

Thanks

Go to module settings, specify the feeds and titles you want to show and save the settings. Don't forget to publish the module at the position where you want to display in template.

Hi!

Im getting the following message when i try to install this module.

JFolder::create: Infinite loop detected
Unable to create destination

Any ideas whats wrong? I`ve searcht the forum but couldn`t find the answer. Probably something quite easy but i am new to Joomla and i dont know how to continue.

Earlier i have been having problems to install Zip-packages like this one. Tar-files has been working perfect. Could that be the answer to my problems?

Could somewhone please help me with this issue. This extension is really something that i would like to use.

/ Birk

Are you able to install other extensions?

Strange or not, I found out that inside the zip file you download there is a file with no extension. just unzip teh initial file, rename the file by addinig the extension .zip and then upload it into joomla. It works!

Ok here's the confusing part. I am currently using internet explorer 8 and browsing this site and i can see the feed module working fine. how ever on my local site, it seems to have lost its styling. Its ok in firefox and opera, but not in ie8. Further, i can see your demo on this site in ie8. How come its giving me problem with styling on my site only in ie8 and not in firefox and opera??

Each browser interprets CSS in a different manner though Firefox, Chrome and Opera follow standard more strictly than IE. Not sure if that's the reason for this problem.

ok, thanks, but i got it resolved. I replaced the @import css call with "link href". That seemed to do the trick.

Hi!! Its an excellent rss module available in joomla. But i have one issue with that. How can i change the original font color which is blue right now? Other than that every things just working fine and nice. Hope i will get your reply soon.

Feed colors and other display properties are controlled by an external CSS hosted by Google. If you know little HTML/CSS then you can download the CSS and customize it as per your needs. You also need to update the CSS path in module files to pick your CSS instead of default CSS.

Hi..As you said, i downloaded CSS file and customize it as per my needs. But i don't know how to update the CSS path in module files. I tried many times but its never get the CSS file link. Like what to change the following lines and do i need to download the js files too. I m really very confused. Hope i will get your reply vry soon.
@import url("http://www.google.com/uds/solutions/dynamicfeed/gfdynamicfeed control.css";

thanx for your quick reply. But it would be very helpful if you tell me from where i can download the CSS file and where to mention the CSS path in my joomla module.

I just solved my problem. Thanx for your advice and all.

I'm looking forward to trying this mod, but when I downloaded the zip file it is empty. Anyone else have this issue?

We have sent file to your email. Please check that.

Is it ok to remove copyright credit as I'm using it at homepage.

I like this very much but can we display more number of feeds(10 or more)?

You need to change the code for that. If you know basic PHP then it's very simple.

is there any documentation?

What kind of instructions are you looking for? Have you installed it? Using it is as easy as copying RSS URL and pasting them in module settings.

Hi I have istalled the Google Ajax RSS module which seems to work except that the links to the individual stories are pointing at my home address with the rss feed tagged to the end, which obviously brings up a dead link error. Could you tell me how to fix this please
many thanks
Kevin

We haven't seen such issue with our extension yet. Could you share your URL where you have installed the extension along with the RSS feeds URL.

Hi, Im using Joola 1.7 and installed your feed loader. Show up nice, but does not load teh requested feeds. Keeps saying "feeds loading". Can you help me out?

Could you please post your website URL and actual feed URL which you are using here.

Hello,
Very good module, easy to install and configure.
Only one problem, I can not change the color of the tag:. Gfg-listentry-odd
Yet in the css file I have changed the color # F6F6F6 by another, but no change on my site ... Is this normal? I absolutely need to change this color for my text is white and thus it is not writing a line on two ...

Thank you for your help with this little problem.

cordially

Please try clearing cache of your site. If it still doesn't work then let us know with your site URL and admin access (send to info[at]sopantech[dot]com)

If you liked our extension then we request you to leave your kind feedback in JED - http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/news-display/rss-readers/8576

Hello and thank you louse your answer.

Yes I emptied the cache, but I've always remains this color
I am clear that it is only on the color that changes are not made ... Otherwise all other changes in my css are fine on my site ...
I am very annoyed ...

cordially

Hello,

I really need your help. Despite the fact empty the cache, the color does not change for the part:. Gfg-listentry-odd

Yet, I even try to remove that part of the css, but by analyzing via firebug, I still see the game:. Gfg-listentry-odd with color: # F6F6F6

With firebug, it works when I delete or change the color directly ...


I would like to delete this color in my. Css so have no color for this part. But it does not work.

Can you help me please. thank you

Installed easily...but it perpetually says "Loading feeds"? I see the same problem exists with others. I'm using 1.7. Thanks.

Do I need to place any special Google API key in my header to make this finally load?

Please check if the feed itself works fine by opening feed URL in browser. Can you post the feed URL here as well?

I successfully opened the rss feed page in Internet Explorer. The feed page I'm trying to load in Joomla 1.7 is http://governor.state.tx.us/rss/
Thanks for any help you can provide. Do I need to install an API code someplace for this to work? Everything looks great; except, it never loads?

You don't have to do anything except installing the module. Some of the users have reported this issue but it's very random and we haven't been able to pin point that. Can you try using the module with some other RSS link once?

can you help me to solve my problem please I do not know how to

HI, great utility, but is it possible to move the feed name header, we dont want them butted right up against the left hand side, we would like to move them slightly to the right.

You can't modify it via module settings however you can include custom CSS in module template file which overrides the default CSS.

How to remove color # F6F6F6 please. When I change the css, nothing that happens on the site ...

Please help me

Either you are not overriding the correct CSS or you may have to override using !important

I edit the file and line gfdynamicfeedcontrol.css 80: background-color: # F6F6F6
I deleted that line in the css file, but I'm still using Firebug ... I want to delete the background so to have any background on the module.
Do you understand?

Please check your email.

Nice mod - thanks!

Title: Moving the feed name header
Text: HI, great utility, but is it possible to move the feed name header, we dont want them butted right up against the left hand side, we would like to move them slightly to the right.

Yes, that's absolutely possible however you need to override the default CSS for doing that.

I got it working. I created a copy of your module and was working with it? Instead I tried working with the original and it worked right away. Thanks so much for creating this.

Glad to hear you found it useful. Don't forget to leave your review at http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/social-web/social-display/rss- readers/8576

nice rss feed module... thanks...

I like this RSS module I am sure it will serve me well in all my websites. Thanks

Hi,

looks great so far, but had a little issue with teh feeds.

At first I only filled in 2...but the TMZ one that you had kept reappearing and then removing my 2nd feed!

Ok...so I overwrote the TMZ feed with another one...but the 2nd feed still isn't displaying at all.

It's on my website home page listed in my contact details/

Any ideas please?

Paul

Looks like you have found the solution as it looks fine on your website.

Hi,

Seems a very nice module

Just a few quirks I'm checking on.

Initially I loaded just 2 feeds, but even though I deleted, the TMZ feed kept reappearing!

Sooooo...I overwrote it with another feed. Ok so far...TWZ gone...but only 2 feeds are now showing!

Am I doing something wrong!??

Cheers

Pai;

Love the reader, but not clear how to adjust some of the color... I realize the css is external.. Can you tell me where I find the css...and then once i have it and modify it, where do i put than info??
thanks kindly

You can either create a new CSS file and incldue it in gajaxfeds.htm or include teh CSS directly inside gajaxfeeds.htm in style tag.

You can inspect the CSS using firebug (firefox) or develoepr tools (chrome) and override those elements in your CSS.

if you can be more specific, that would help... do i get the original css from the gfdynamicfeedcontrol.css?? then I know where gajaxfeeds.htm is, but when you say insert the css, where in the htm do I do, i tried inserting it but then it stopped working, the css wording showed up in the module...

That's all simple CSS stuff. You can read about how to write CSS and override.

If you are having difficulties doing that, you can use our professional services for the same. Use the contact form on our site sopantech.com to get in touch regarding that.

Here on the demo page the links open on a new page. On my install they open on the parent! Am I missing a setting? btw great module. thanks.

Can you send URL of your site?

fixed it. thanks for speedy reply. a conflict with googlemaps. i think. i'll look into it more later. there is the link to a test site.

a very nice model, thx for your free contribution

i would like to change the textbox height of the feed-description text (just below the post time "xxx hour ago", but I can't find this property in the CSS file gfdynamicfeedcontrol.css

can admin advise how to set this property? Thanks a lot!!!

You can set the height for CSS property gf-snippet, if its not in CSS file, add it and you may have to use !important for height to override the default height.

.gf-snippet {
height: 20mm;
}

i tried this additional into CSS, but not work

then tried modified
.gfg-root .gfg-entry .gf-result .gf-snippet {
height : 20mm;
color: #000000;
margin-top : 3px;
}

also not working...
can you advise how to use the !important string?? thanks again!!

I am having the weirdest problem. Every time I publish Google Ajax RSS, if I click on the menu item under which this module appears, IE9 tries to download some file that not even exists. Even when I type the corresponding menu URL or when a make a wrapper to call the module from another website located on another subdomain. FireFox does not have this problem. Only IE. Since your demo is working and I can see it working with the same IE9 I see my website, I am thinking that probably it has to do with the server that is hosting my website. What do you think about it? Your answers will be much appreciated. Thanks a lot.

One other user had the same issue (you can search the comments thread) and as far as I remember, it was due to a conflict with another module/extension. Disabling that extension resolved the issue.

I was the other one that had problems with IE9 wanting to download, I never did get it working, in the end you told me it was an issue with IIS and s***ested I switched to Apache, but with me hosting over 200 websites it just did not make sense. I would love to get this problem figured out.

I just installed a fresh copy of Joomla yesterday. The only two add-ons that I have installed so far are Google Ajax RSS and the Modules Anywhere plug-in. I used Modules Anywhere to display Google Ajax RSS in an article. I also used Google Ajax RSS alone as a module directly displayed in a specific position. Right now, Modules Anywhere is disable and Google Ajax RSS is assigned to position1 of the default template. It should appear under the Joomla banner on the front-page but I not even can go there (www.latinface.net) without getting the download window. As I already explained, FireFox has no problem showing the website correctly. So, right now, Google Ajax RSS is the only extra module in the website. I will go somewhere else to see if I get the same problem from another computer to eliminate the possibility of my computer as the source of conflict. In the meantime, do you have any s***estions? Thanks for your help. By the way, your extension is awesome! If only I could use it. . .

Here is what Jeremy, from webhostingcanada (great guy!) just wrote to me:
“I tried it on Joomla 2.5.6 using IE9 and it works on my server. It worked in regular module position and using the Loadposition plugin to put in article. When I try using IE9 on your site I get the download as you described. Sorry not sure what to s***est might be the problem, but it might have to do with "Apache Handlers" or "Mime Types" on your server. They can affect how the browser deals with a file type (downloading it or displaying it).”
So, it sounds like the problem is my hosting service. They have LiteSpeed, not Apache.
Thank you for your help and for developing such a great module.

Thanks for sharing the tip

I have 3 feeds under "Landings Assoc Feeds" that are working very well, except when using IE,
(Firefox, Chrome, Safari all fine). When I am not logged in as a Jomsocial user, it appears fine, but when I log in, the styling is lost - you can't distinquish between the titles and the articles.

Could you send the link to your site with login details from http://www.sopantech.com/contact-us.php so we can take a look. Mostly it might be due to some CSS elements may have common classes/IDs and JomSocial might be overriding them so module styling is getting lost.

The conflict appeared to be with K2. I had K2 disabled, because I decided not to use it, but it must still load something. I just uninstalled K2, and now my feeds are working perfectly. So this is no longer an issue for my site.

I str***led with this a few months ago and spent days trying to fix it, I was told it was because I was running IIS and it would work on Apache. Then earlier today I was reading here someone else had a problem with IE downloading the page and mentioned MIME so it prompted me to try to fix this for myself again - because I love this module. It ended up being an easy fix....

In the file;

modulesmod_gajaxfeedsmod_gajaxfeeds.php

I added the following line at the end.



Hope this helps someone else.

Bryan

Thanks for the fix. I hope it helps others facing this problem. We'll include this fix in the module.
