hey Dennis,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as we were involved in the preparation for the Joomla conference here in Malaysia.

It seems like you provided that RSS feed URL is not valid, so can't import the feed in Easyblog.

You can copy the RSS feed URL and paste in this online RSS validator tool -> https://validator.w3.org/feed/ , it will show out the result.

If you paste our demo site RSS feed url, it valid. -> http://demo.stackideas.com/?format=feed&type=rss

No problem Arlex,

thanks.

PS: I didnt get any information via email about this answer?!

Hi Arlex,

now i got a valid url, but therefore it says, there is no post available to import?!

Hey Dennis,

I am sorry that delay of this reply,

I have do some comparison with following RSS feed URL :
http://www.haufe.de/xml/rss_129130.xml (one of your feed URL)
http://demo.stackideas.com/?format=feed&type=rss (our demo site RSS feed url)

Then I compare with this RSS feed URL, only this validator reported this following error :
http://www.immonewsfeed.de/rssValid.php?iKey=1dd35a979940a6ac06488421e34566a5_334&anzahl=25

This feed is valid, but interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendations.

Feeds should not be served with the "text/html" media type [help]



Your feed appears to be encoded as "ISO-8859-1", but your server is reporting "utf-8" [help]



line 641, column 0: Missing atom:link with rel="self" [help]

I believe because of this causing the feed importer can't import the feed through this RSS feed URL, you can see this 2 RSS feed URL is work without these 3 error above.
http://www.haufe.de/xml/rss_129130.xml (one of your feed URL)
http://demo.stackideas.com/?format=feed&type=rss (our demo site RSS feed url)
Actually this is out of our control regarding this RSS feed URL.

Hi,

they modified the link again and say, that now the link is 100% valid and it should work, but therefore i cant import it?!
Please take a look:

PS:

??

hey Dennis,

I am really sorry that delay of this reply,

We are still investigate on this issue and get back to you as soon as possible.

hey Dennis,

After debugging long time ago, it seems like this feed xml content contain some paragraph in <description> tag, some how the importer detected that got another header information then causing this issue.

We already added 1 more checking for prevent this situation, can you try download my attached file then replace into JoomlaFolder\administrator\components\com_easyblog\includes\connector\connector.php and see how it goes?

Hi Arlex,

i replaced the file and two posts were imported, but without any image...
Also, no notice was shown if the import was successful or not.
Please can you fix it? Thanks

Hi again,

it works, i needed to get the full content and now it looks good:-)
But now i see: Internal Server Error message in the feed info?!

Very important is also the ability, to delete the feed history without to go into the tables...
Any chance to get this?

PSS: Hmm, the pics are now shown as double on the frontpage?! In the post itself there is only one pic shown?!

Hi Dennis,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply.

This is actually a known issue and I believe the fix has already been included in the latest version of easyblog 5.0.22. Can I have the permission to update your easyblog 5.0.19 to the latest version and see if that will fix the issue?

Hi,

yes please

hey Dennis,

I already help you updated to latest version of Easyblog and replace the fix file in your site, can you give it a check is it everything look fine now?

Hi Arlex,

now it looks good. But i get a warning if i import a feed: Internal Server Error?!
No more feeds are imported, also no posts from the past...
PS: Today i looked and more feeds were imported.
But also i got no info if any feed was imported and how much... I think, the feed importer needs much more improvement in order to work properly...

hey Dennis,

I am sorry that delay of this reply,

I suspect that was hitting the time out issue when you trying to import 50 feeds one time or some of the feed content need to spend a lot of time to import in your Easyblog.

You can take a look of my screenshot : http://screencast.com/t/EfygvH0sRZ (I already reduce to 10 article 1 time, it also hitting this time out error)

Perhaps you can try increase the php max_execution_time from your server, and provide us with your server error log as well?

Hi Arlex,

i had 10 feeds before too and later increased to 50.
How can i import all the feeds from the provider without any issues?


Hoster:
The max_execution_time PHP variable is currently set to 120 seconds.
I have created a phpinfo file in your public_html directory so you can check the PHP settings easily: see link

Unfortunately the value of that variable cannot be further increased, since this is a Shared hosting environment and increasing its value can cause disturbance in the service of all the clients hosted on the server.

It's really very subjective and there is no definite way to determine the best settings for this. It all boils down to how heavy the server load is and how fast it can import the feed items. Even if you set it to set 1 item to be imported at a time but if the server's connection takes longer than 120 seconds to connect to the feed, you'll still hit time out issues.

If your hoster isn't going to do anything about this, there is nothing we can really do.

Ok, but how can i import all the other feeds from the provider, the old ones?

Perhaps you can reduce the feed amount to 1, so it will process import the feed every 5 minute as you configure with your cron interval from the importer feed settings and your cronjob time interval.

On my hoster: siteground only every 30 Minutes crons are allowed...
In this way, also the feeds from the last month are also imported? >100

Hey Dennis,

May i know what do you mean for this "also the feeds from the last month are also imported? >100"?

Hi Arlex,

i mean, the provider i get the feeds from has a large database of feeds and i want to import them all. What for settings do i need to get them without any server issues?

PS: i cant order some blog categories: BIGINT UNSIGNED value is out of range in '(`dennisth_joomla`.`e1ejt_easyblog_category`.`ordering` - 1)' SQL=update `e1ejt_easyblog_category` set `ordering` = `ordering` - 1 where `id` = '10'

Hey dennis,

I am really sorry that delay of this reply as it is public holiday for us here yesterday.

Do you mean these feeds already imported in your another site then you would like to import in your current live site?

Or you mean you would like to import all the feeds through RSS feed URL via feed importer without any server issue?

PS: i cant order some blog categories: BIGINT UNSIGNED value is out of range in '(`dennisth_joomla`.`e1ejt_easyblog_category`.`ordering` - 1)' SQL=update `e1ejt_easyblog_category` set `ordering` = `ordering` - 1 where `id` = '10'

May i know what you trying to do? And what sql you trying to run?

Hi Arlex,

my last post was 4 days ago!

I ment: "Or you mean you would like to import all the feeds through RSS feed URL via feed importer without any server issue?"

and if i try to order categories via the arrows i get the mentioned error

Hey Dennis,

I've tried to imported all all feeds from `http://www.immonewsfeed.de/rssValid.php?iKey=1dd35a979940a6ac06488421e34566a5_334&anzahl=2500` to our test site then I export all of this posts in .sql format, perhaps you can try import in your test site and see is it all the content getting correctly.

Because that was not easy way to import all the feeds, unless you set max_execution_time to higher.

and if i try to order categories via the arrows i get the mentioned error

I tried in my locally, it seems work fine, may i know how to reproduce this issue?
Perhaps you can provide us step by step as well.

Hello Arlex,

thanks for the file. I imported it and the posts are shown in the sql table but not in the EB post section?!
The ordering seems to work now.

Hey Dennis,

I am sorry that delay of this reply,

May i know where you import to? Is it your current test site or live site?

If you import in your live site, you have to check the created_by id and category_id from the sql data before import, perhaps you can tell me which category id and which blogger id you would like to assign to these feeds post?

Hi Arlex,

its investm....com
The table is "joomla"

Please re-import to the category "Artikel" with the user: Redaktion

Hey Dennis,

I already help you imported all the feed post in your Easyblog.

The id start from 906 until 1173, can you give it a check now?

Great, thanks!!

You're welcome.
