I am trying to get three feeds from external sites to post automatically to my test website's Easyblog blog. However, when I try and "execute" the imports, the process bar starts then stops processing. I have validated the feeds, but I am getting the following error from two of the feeds:

JUser::_load: Unable to load user with ID: 62

Additionally, I couldn't find the documentation how to correctly set this up. I would greatly appreciate your guidance on how to get these feeds to work and post to my test site.

Thanks
Arthur
Hello Arthur,

The issue is because the user id 62 is no longer in your database. You might want to change the author for the feed here: http://screencast.com/t/sZuqfyIodeN . I have changed it in one of your feeds and the error is no longer there. Hope this helps.

Hi Nick

Thanks for your quick response. I made the changes you suggested and the "ID" errors have been corrected. Also changed and published the category where the feeds are to go and the category shows up in the list on the test website. Performed an "Execute" process for each feed. However, the process bar starts, but it appears the processes just hang. (Please see the attached graphic) Do you have any additional instructions as to how I can get this to work?

Thanks
Arthur

Hello Arthur Scott,

Sorry for late reply to this,
I'm try to open the console and check the execute ejax call result, it seems like it show "5".

Then i tried to manually run this cronfeed command :
http://yoursitedomainname/index.php?option=com_easyblog&task=cronfeed&debug=1
It seems like work fine.
10 items migrated from feed "Homedit " (http://feeds.feedburner.com/Homedit)


Or did you want to setup a cronfeed, so it will automatically process your feed?

Please advise.

Hi Arlex

Thanks for getting back with me. I noticed only feeds from Homedit came through and not from the other two feeds. Any idea why those are not working? I attempted to do an "Execute" for the two feeds that didn't work and the process hung again (see attachment "feedprocess").

Secondly, you state "I'm try to open the console and check the execute ejax call result, it seems like it show "5". Should I not put "5" in the cron interval field (see attachment "3stackideas.jpg"). I would like to setup a cron job that imports the feeds automatically. Is that something that I should setup in my hosting provider's management console using the command below?

/bin/wget -O /dev/null "http://mywebsite.cloudaccess.net/index.php?option=com_easyblog&task=cronfeed

Thanks
Arthur

Hello Arthur Scott,

Sorry for late reply to this,
Oh, that was not related what i show you in the console result.
Can you pass me with your Cpanel access so we can help you configure the cronfeed in your site? Please advise.

Hi Arlex

My hosting provider doesn't use CPanel. However, if you would provide me with the command that I need to use, I can setup the Cron job with their assistance. Once I have it setup and tested, I'll respond back to you so that you can verify that it's working.

Thanks for your help and let me know what command to use.
Arthur

Thanks Mohd for your response. Do I need to setup a cron job for each feed? For example, I have 3 feeds to import, do I need to set one up for each or just one for the Easyblog import task?

Thanks
Arthur

Hello Arthur Scott,

First you have to consult with your Webhosting provider regarding this wget path, because not every hosting provider supports /bin/wget. It's best that you contact your hosting provider to find out the utility that can be used to access websites.

After you consulted with your Webhosting provider, you can try following the CRON command (if you already get the correct wget path, you can modify below the wget path e.g " /usr/bin/wget " ) :

*/5 * * * * /usr/bin/wget -O /dev/null "http://yourdomainname/index.php?option=com_easyblog&task=cronfeed" >/dev/null 2>&1

Hope this help.
