  1. Installation

    1. Why only RSS feeds ?

    2. Because RSS feeds are more present than ATOM feeds.

    3. Why during the addition of a feed I have in return the following message : "URL invalid" ?

    4. The address has to be the shape :
      http://URL and not feed://URL

    5. What means "Style" of the feed ?

    6. It corresponds to the color of the feed which you want to display. During the creation of your templates and their styles, you will create different styles of colors containing the prefix, in three letters, of the color. Original templates proposes styles of 4 different colors (black, blue, red and purple).

    7. What is the use of Get PHP Code ?

    8. It generates automatically the code to be put in the page in when you want display your feed, in functions of the options chosen.



  2. Display

    1. Why anything does not go to the display of my feed ?

    2. Verify that it's indeed a RSS feed and not a ATOM feed. We don't treat ATOM feed.

    3. Why are there errors of encodings ?

    4. We tried to sort out all the errors of encodings met during tests. Maybe there is always some because the encodings of feeds are very varied.

    5. Why the pictures don't display in my article ?

    6. We have to delete all the HTML TAG in the display, except <div>, <a>, <b>, <i>, <p>, <br>, <hr>, <li> and <ul>, to have no enormous video or picture which come broken the graphic charter. To display a new tag, edit :
      http://www.YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME.com/rssA/admin/fonctions/mesfonctions.php. Find the function enlever_balises (l. 377). Modify the following line and add to the list, the tag which you want to display :
      $string = strip_tags($string, '<div><a><b><i><p><br><hr><li><ul>');

    7. Why certain tags of the RSS feeds doesn't display ?

    8. We selected the tags of the RSS feeds who seemed to us indispensable. We thus have keep the following ones :
      • for the <channel> :
        • <title>
        • <link>
        • <description>
        • <copyright>
        • <image>
      • for the <item> :
        • <title>
        • <link>
        • <description>
        • <author>
        • <enclosure>
        • <pubdate>

    9. How to change the style of date with the display by date ?

    10. The date is contained in the following <div> tag :

      It is up to you him apply any style.

    11. How to change the style of "Last updated" ?

    13. Can I create and add my own template ?

    14. Yes, it's possible to add your own template. Create a directory TEMPLATE_name in the rssA directory. The display by date is made with one file named bydate.php. The display by feed is made with two files named channel_byflux.php and item_byflux.php. The styles of these templates will be in a file named index.css. We already propose some templates. Do not hesitate to take example above.

      $path = 'ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_YOUR_RSSA_DIRECTORY';
      include($path.'/admin/fonctions/tag_cloud.php');
      tag_cloud ();
