  Question(s):

  Has the feed entered in the box marked “XML URL” to be some existing? If yes, which?

  If no, is it known if the plugin works in case the FeedBurner FeedSmith plugin is used?

  Thanks

• admin // Dec 9, 2007 at 12:06 pm

  Yes the feed has to already exist.
  It has to be in OPML format, the same way WordPress feeds your blogroll.
  I don’t know is the Feeburner feedsmith works with OPML feeds.

  I can’t get the plugin to work. I’ve tried just about everything I can think of, but nothing shows up. I don’t know much about this stuff, but I’m wondering if it could be a permissions problem, since I’m always running into permissions problems.

  Do you know of any reason why just nothing would work? Any help? Thanks.

• admin // Dec 12, 2007 at 4:00 pm

  If you’ve managed to install and add the code to the theme it shouldn’t be a permissions problem.
  What is the feed that you are pointing it at?
  They only think i can thing of is that there is a problems with the feed.

• jonathan hickman // Dec 12, 2007 at 4:17 pm

  I’m using this feed:

  http://knoxvilletalks.com/wp-links-opml.php

  I just put two test links in to get it to work before spending time populating it. If it did work, would it take 3 hours for the feeds to start showing up? Is the 3 hour bit adjustable?

  Thanks.

• jonathan hickman // Dec 12, 2007 at 4:20 pm

  Oh! I got it.

  1 - you can’t use it in a sidebar widget, and
  2 - if you copy and paste, you’ll get the quotation marks wrong. I always forget that.

• admin // Dec 12, 2007 at 4:50 pm

  If you added the links after you first ran the plugin it will take 3 hours for the links to show up.
  The time limit is not yet adjustable, on an options form.

  Hiya,

  Im working on an information network site and would love to use this plugin. The issue i have is the sidebar vs widget thing. Although I am the root admin on all sites there will be individual persons for each site. The main site is here http://information-free.com , and there will be topic related sites set as subdomains. These will be in multiple languages and each lead person for topic or country will need independent control of plugins/themes/widgets. This is so each has option for independent advertisement and layout. Many will be using shared network adsense account I can add code to for sidebar but several will use many themes via theme switcher or personal selection.

  Have you found a way to do it within a widget yet? if not i think I can code it or one of our members could, but being that I am working non-stop to merge WP WPMU and our WPCMS systems I’d be super happy if you knew a quick fix.

  Right now we have about 10 sites started for testing and have been successful in both adding via subdomains/subfolders and even other websites fed in and back out. Our goal is to have all ready to go and provide simple use for the non tech savy while keeping it as advanced in function as possible. And our full rollout is targeted by the end of January.

  Thanks in advance,

  Peace.

  @Mich: I’ll put the widgetised version of this on my todo list. The person who originally commissioned this didn’t see the point for having a widgets so it was left out.

• Turnip // Jan 15, 2008 at 2:08 am

  The plugin works fine, but ‘’ is incorrect, it should be ‘’.
  The issue I’m having is changing the look of the feed after I put the PHP into daiku’s tex box widget. A widget would be great.

• admin // Jan 15, 2008 at 8:19 pm

  @Turnip: I was referring to another comment. AS I say, a widget version is on the to-do list. There might be an alternative solution available sooner as a new widget for the DCoda _widgets that is under development. Watch this space.

• Turnip // Jan 16, 2008 at 2:58 am

  Thanks, I got it working in daiku’s text widget finally, with proper CSS formatting.  I simply surrounded everything with ul li -/li /ul

• admin // Jan 16, 2008 at 10:57 am

  Glad to know it

• Turnip // Jan 19, 2008 at 10:34 am

  New issue today.  I installed the latest and greatest version of "Bad Behavior Plugin".  It seems to be replacing the line in the options page of blog networking where you enter your opml feed with random text.  Immediately after saving your /wp-links-opml.PHP it rewrites it to a single random letter.

• admin // Jan 21, 2008 at 2:02 pm

  I’ve just installed the plugin myself but cannot get it to recreate the fault. Looking through the code there should be no clash between the options of the two plugins. Is there any more clues you can give to me to trace your problem.

• TDH // Jan 30, 2008 at 6:03 pm

  Nice plugin, good work. However, you should know that it doesn’t work with blogs using the Feedburner plugin AND using the DNS services. It does, however, appear to work if you put in the "real" Feedburner feed URL:s.

• admin // Jan 30, 2008 at 6:10 pm

  @TDH: Thanks for the input, by the Feedburner Plugin do you meant Feedsmith burner?

• jose // Feb 2, 2008 at 3:50 am

  IS THERE A WAY TO POST THE FEED LIST AS POST (yes, maybe with exec-php plugin)
  AND MAKE THEM STATIC????

  converting feed link list result in real html links or something like that??

  If I make a weekly digest from outside website in my normal post, it will show the lastest feeds only…

  I need to make static or convert the feed read to make like an a weekly link archive from the feed.

• admin // Feb 3, 2008 at 8:47 pm

  @jose : There is no way to make blognetworking to create static posts. It was designed to give a dynamic list. I’m not sure of any similar plugins that might do this. You may require a custom plugin.

• Ray // Feb 6, 2008 at 2:58 pm

  I have tried for two weeks to get this plugin to work. I placed the code in my footer and the headline works but it will not pull the feeds. Here is the url to my opml http://afcdn.com/wp/wp-links-opml.php It is there, I put that address in my browser and it displays the file but I cannot get BlogNetwork to display a list of the feeds. Is there an example somewhere that I can look at the files and see what I am doing wrong?

• Ray // Feb 6, 2008 at 3:28 pm

  Ok, I figured it out. The quotation marks were wrong. I saw that above and when I manually entered the quotations in the line, it started working. Thanks,

• kiona // Mar 16, 2008 at 5:14 pm

  Hi
  I would like my moblog feed to appear i my sidebar. But that won’t work as it’s not opml? I’m not so good at these things… 
  This is the feed I want: http://rss.mobilblogg.nu/o.o.i.s?template=rss_feed.t&user=kiona If it’s possible, can you explain how I should do it? Thanks /Kiona

• admin // Mar 17, 2008 at 12:25 pm

  The only think you could do with this plugin is display the latest Item on your feed in you sidebar.
  To do this play your feed in your blogrol and point the plugin at that.
  At this time this plugin will no display an entire rss feed.

• Roman // May 2, 2008 at 9:15 am

  Hi, nice plugin. I am just working on a blog network and I look for a plugin like this. I would like to suggest some new features. Many blog networks has channels, eg. News, Politics, Beauty, Travel etc. What about to allow this plugin to show each specific channel in one feed. For example visit site http://www.bangingbags.com/ and scroll down and you can see what I mean. There is a list of the sites in the network with the feeds. Would it be to create difficult based on that or similar? Just idea.

  I’m not entirely sure what you mean, I think Blognetowrking can be configure to something near to what your are wanting.

• Roman // May 2, 2008 at 1:10 pm

  Nice to know. And can I modify the output to get with time/date of the posts, authors name of the posts?

• admin // May 2, 2008 at 1:21 pm

  Not at present. With the limited space in the side bar it is just limited to the site and the post title.
  This is a good idea to have as an option and will be included the the next version.

• Roman // May 2, 2008 at 6:36 pm

  well, I think what I would welcome in the plugin. At this moment users can added just one blognetwork feed of all sites. What about this:

  example

  
for feed included technology related sites
for feed included politics related sites
etc.


  I look for this that I can added specific feeds but pretty categorized on the site, because I can have central feeds of the specific channels but on the sites at this moment I can show one central feed.

• Roman // May 2, 2008 at 6:37 pm

  EDIT: there are missing codes in previous comment lines:

  
do_action("BlogNetworks")
do_action("BlogNetworks_2")

  Is there any way to change the style on the output of the feeds?

  Here is the page I am outputing the feeds onto:
  http://www.bestgreenblogs.com/meta/

  It looks like doo doo. Is it something in the plugin or do I need to make special CSS to make it look better?

  Great plugin btw..

• DCoda // Jul 1, 2008 at 10:30 am

  There is nothing in  the plug-in to change the way it looks. It was originally designed to fit in the sidebar, and as such it  would default to the standard sidebar look and feel for lists.
  Yes, you will have to use CSS to change the look.

• Jacky Supit // Jul 22, 2008 at 11:28 am

  hi DCoda, could  you please tell me how to add this to non widget sidebar? thanks

• DCoda // Jul 22, 2008 at 11:37 am

  @Jack Supit: Ho, You would use the
  <?PHP do_action(”BlogNetworks”) ; ?>
  code to insert it in such a way. Check ‘Usage’ in the documentation for more information.

• Don Keruskie // Aug 7, 2008 at 2:51 am

  I’m hoping to use this plugin to add local news headlines to a page called http://don.keruskie.com/news that I have on my site. However, after over three hours, the page is still blank.

  I downloaded, uploaded and activated the plugin. I pointed it to http://don.keruskie.com/wp-links-opml.php and made sure that I had an RSS url in the link that I have on my blogroll.

  The code that I have for my news page is:

  Can you help me out?

• DCoda // Aug 7, 2008 at 9:01 am

  @Don- Its hard to say without access to you system.
  What happens when you click update now?

• Don Keruskie // Aug 7, 2008 at 9:16 am

  The page http://don.keruskie.com/news is still blank.

  The only thing I’ve put on that page is:
  “”
  without the outside quotes of course.

  I can only think that the code on the page is somehow wrong but I don’t know exactly what is wrong with it.

  I’m using a good RSS url to News10Now.com in my blogroll and have the plugin pointed to http://don.keruskie.com/wp-links-opml.php where my blogroll resides.

• Don Keruskie // Aug 7, 2008 at 9:19 am

  I’m sorry the page code keeps disappearing when my posts are displayed here. It’s the same code as in your reply to Jacky Supit but with the ul and /ul in brackets at the beginning and end.

• DCoda // Aug 7, 2008 at 9:25 am

  @Don-What happens when you click update now on the options screen?

• Don Keruskie // Aug 7, 2008 at 9:32 am

  When I go to Settings > BlogNetworking and click Get Network or Save Settings, there is no difference. I don’t see Update Now though.

• DCoda // Aug 7, 2008 at 9:47 am

  @Don-My mistake I was getting the working mixed up with another plugin.
  I’ll look into it, and see if i can work for me with your feed.

• Don Keruskie // Aug 7, 2008 at 9:48 am

  I appreciate any help that you can provide. If you need access to anything, please let me know.

• DCoda // Aug 8, 2008 at 3:48 pm

  @Don- I’ve managed to track the problem and the plugin is working find.
  Despite the opml page displaying correctly it returns the following header information

  HTTP/1.x 404 Not Found
  Date: Fri, 08 Aug 2008 14:44:44 GMT
  Server: Apache
  Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0
  Expires: Wed, 11 Jan 1984 05:00:00 GMT

  Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=100
  Connection: Keep-Alive
  Transfer-Encoding: chunked
  Content-Type: text/xml; charset=UTF-8
  
  This is strange but the plugin quite correctly assume that the page is not found and therefore does nothing.
  I recommend talking to your ISP to see if they can find the cause.

  This is a great plug-in and we were evaluating it on our old install of WordpressMU 1.3.3 using 1.1.0 branch of the plug-in and it all looked good. We upgraded to MU 2.6 and got the notice that there was a new version. Installed it and it killed the network. We started getting floods of these error messages.

  [10-Aug-2008 17:05:06] PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function wp_get_current_user() in /var/www/html/wp-includes/capabilities.php on line 447

  I don’t know if this is a 2.6 or MU issue unfortunately but we were sad to lose this possible functionality. We’d be more than happy to make a donation to the development if you can get this bug fixed.

• DCoda // Aug 11, 2008 at 8:57 am

  @Jason DeFillippo- We’ll try at add support for WordPressMu, this wasn’t originally supported  so never tested.

• DCoda // Aug 11, 2008 at 9:12 pm

  @Jason DeFillippo- Version 1.2.2 has  been released which addresses the problem with WordPressMu

• Jason DeFillippo // Aug 11, 2008 at 9:19 pm

  Fantastic! I’ll download it and test it right away!
