Simon André Forsberg has made a change to the feeds posted into this room

Simon André Forsberg

Hey @MinatoNamikaze

So, it should work now, huh?

Minato Namikaze

Hello

It should..

Simon André Forsberg

Well, we've tried this several times before and it doesn't seem to have worked then, but it sure is worth one more try :)

Minato Namikaze

wait... does stack2rss update regularly?

Hey! I know the guy who made this :D

Great fellow :P

Simon André Forsberg

Stack2rss update regularly quite AFAIK, yes.

Minato Namikaze

12:05

It is pulling straight from the api when reqested

afaik

kalina

gief room owner a second

Simon André Forsberg

I do see some differences between the stack2rss feed and the Stack Exchange feed, I suppose those differences is why it hasn't worked.

StackExchange uses <entry> tag while stack2rss uses <item> for example

Minato Namikaze

@SimonAndréForsberg Nope, XKCD uses <item> too

Stack Exchange

Simon André Forsberg has made a change to the feeds posted into this room

Simon André Forsberg

well, let's see if XKCD works then...

Minato Namikaze

12:10

you're not gonna see any changes until like next monday

kalina

xkcd does work

A helicopter bursts from a chrysalis and alights on a rock, rotors still damp.

Bacteria still outweigh us thousands to one--and that's not even counting the several pounds of them in your body.

You know what happens when you assert--you make an ass out of the emergency response team.

Minato Namikaze

yep

kalina

see

Minato Namikaze

it works

Simon André Forsberg

12:12

Seems to be next monday already...

@StackExchange I am very mad with you right now...

Minato Namikaze

It may have something to do with Stack2RSS dynamically generating the feed

one second

Simon André Forsberg

Sounds like it should be possible to create a tool to fix that somehow...

Stack2RSS Custom Feed: malloc implementation

No content.

as suspected

@kalina --^

kalina

cool

I'm trying to find the SE feed generator page but the feeds that use it all seem to have vanished

with the SE feeds I can make it link a question every time it becomes active again

so that would be every time an answer is posted on it, or it's edited, etc

Simon André Forsberg

12:37

@MinatoNamikaze What...? How...?

The Stack2RSS feeds already bumps questions when they get edited, or "@Jamal ized" as we call it here...

rolfl

12:57

Don't mind me ... I'm just a little excited ;-)

FEichinger

@kalina stackexchange.com/filters

Pretty sure that doesn't bump on activity, though.

Simon André Forsberg

So am I, @rolfl... I'm just not sure how to set it up properly... but it does seem to be possible, somehow...

FEichinger

The error is with the stack2rss feed sending the wrong type, as far as I can tell.

Should be application/xml+rss, not text/plain

Simon André Forsberg

so what @MinatoNamikaze did to set it all up properly was to simply relay it to another source, which then could send the proper headers?

FEichinger

13:12

I assume so, yes.

Well, what @MinatoNamikaze did was make a static version that has xml as filetype, so it inherently sends the correct header.

Simon André Forsberg

Sounds like I gotta try doing some coding this weekend... unless Minato reveals the secrets

FEichinger

But the result is the same.

Simon André Forsberg

Ah, that could work. Grabbing the Stack2RSS data every once in a while and simply saving it as an XML

FEichinger

chat.SE -> your relay -> stack2rss

kalina

@FEichinger the order of the posts in stackexchange.com/feeds/tagsets/112702/test?sort=active suggests otherwise

FEichinger

13:15

(But stack2rss still uses API v1, so you might just want to ping Nathan about it all and have him fix both issues.)

Simon André Forsberg

@FEichinger How do I find Nathan? :)

FEichinger

@SimonAndréForsberg He's usually around in AUGR every now and then.

kalina

I'M GOING NOW GOODBYE

FEichinger

@kalina "sick"?

Or just leaving the room?

Simon André Forsberg

@FEichinger OK, thanks

Minato Namikaze

13:36

@SimonAndréForsberg no secrets :P

It's the same thing

If you have a server at hand just have a python script/shell script download the feed periodically and have it make a .xml file in the web accessible directory

Link that file to the feed and you're done

Else, this can be rectified on server side.

@SimonAndréForsberg Nathan has found me:

Stack2RSS author here - what do you mean by "chat feeds don't work with stack2rss feeds"? — uɐɯsO uɐɥʇɐN 12 mins ago

Hey Nathan!

Mat's Mug

hi!

rolfl

Man, if only there was an RSS feed that supplied answers in to CR Answers ... ;-)

Mat's Mug has added Nathan Osman to the list of this room's owners.

Nathan Osman

18:57

Thanks, but as a chat mod, I pretty much can edit anything anyway :)

Mat's Mug

oh.. lol

Nathan Osman

So the problem is that it won't post new items here?

Mat's Mug

right. I was updating manually with stack2rss.stackexchange.com/codereview.stackexchange/… being fed into some RSS reader

Nathan Osman

That's strange since I can view the feed without any problems here.

Nathan Osman

18:59

Does it work to post the items in a box instead?

Tries it out.

Mat's Mug

so wait a minute, stack2rss feeds are supposed to be working with stack chat?

Nathan Osman

Absolutely.

It's just like any other RSS feed.

If it's not working, I'd actually wonder if there was a bug with chat, not Stack2RSS.

Mat's Mug

interesting

@rolfl post an answer ;)

Nathan Osman

I'll leave this window open to see if items appear in the ticker.

Okay, so this answer has been added to the feed. We'll see what happens.

It should show up shortly...

Mat's Mug

crosses fingers

what's the normal delay?

Nathan Osman

19:03

I've seen it as high as twenty minutes.

But usually it's less than that.

Mat's Mug

does the ticker go away if I miss it or it has to be actively dismissed?

Nathan Osman

It must be dismissed.

Mat's Mug

ok good (I happen to be working right now)

Nathan Osman

It was working here: chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/12402/2014/1/11/9-18

Oh wait... they're using feedrinse.com.

Mat's Mug

seen this?

Nathan Osman

19:09

I'm aware of that and it is on my list. Rest assured.

It's not working... >:(

I better just file a bug on Meta.SO.

Mat's Mug

it's the chat room that's blocking it?

Nathan Osman

19:24

Apparently.

Either blocking or broken.

Mat's Mug

6-8 weeks then...

Q: RSS feed is not working in any chat rooms.

Consider the following RSS feed: http://stack2rss.stackexchange.com/codereview.stackexchange/answers When added, to this room's list of RSS feeds, no feeds ever show up. (Despite the fact that new items are continually being added to the feed.) This appears to be a network-wide problem sinc...
