Forums give error

[Misha]

Kevin,

What a great module you made. It's a shame I just stumbled upon it. I went ahead to download and install it right away, and installation was a snap. I got a problem, though - it does not work on forums for me All what I get is my Avant-go logo and the following text below it:

There seems to be a problem with the server - Sorry for the inconvenience.
Please report this to the Administrator ASAP.
We should be back shortly.

Any idea what I did wrong?
Thanks, Misha

It looks like news is showing blanks because you're using Forum News Advance (or some other forums mod, to show forum content as news instead of News content. This may also be the reason the forums feed isn't working. Can you send the structure of your nuke_bbtopics, nuke_bbforums, nuke_bbposts, nuke_bbposts_text tables?

It might be easier if I could look at phpMyAdmin.

Hi Kevin,

Yes, I use FNA, and don't care about original news. I also suspected this could be a problem. Since I don't know how to give you access to phpmyadmin, here is the structure of the tables you requested. Thanks a bunch, Misha

It will take a little while, but I am looking into it. To be safe, I downloaded FNA 3.0 - is that the version you're using?

[Misha]

Yep, I use 3.0, and I remember it was a pain the butt to install

Thanks a lot Kevin, looking forward to favorable news

Looks like it creates a table that lets you categorize news, but the news is stored in a forum that must be named News. Is that correct?

[Misha]

I did not have to create any extra forum for it, and I definitely do not have any forum with such a name...

Thanks, Misha

Sorry - I was reading the installation documents, rather than looking at the code (silly me!). I'll use the code...

Any updates on this, NukeFEED is a great bit of code for outputting XML for the various article categories, but the Forums just bug out with database errors. It would be so cool to have those working properly.

[kguske]

I haven't forgotten - just been busy. THoTH, are you also using Forums News Advance 3.0?

I tried to use something similar a long time ago, but gave up. I am guessing that the code for it may still be active, but have no way of knowing for sure. I would appreciate any advice. Don't worry about the time taken, I know how busy things can get. I'd take a look myself if I knew what I was looking for

I'll keep monitoring this thread for posts, thanks for any help you can give bud

[Oyjord]

I just installed Feed and love it! Thanks!

The news feed works great, but my Forums feed returns the following error message:

"There seems to be a problem with the server - Sorry for the inconvenience.

Please report this to the Administrator ASAP.

We should be back shortly."

Any tips where I went wrong? I'm using an old Ravenscript/Nuke Sentinel nuke site. Are there perhaps some NukeSentinel settings I need to tweak?

Thanks!
Oy.

[kguske]

Hmmm. Several have reported problems with Forum feeds, but usually because they've made database modifications to forums tables to support modifications to the forums (at least that's the theory).
