Derek21 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) What happened to Hasan's recaps? Fyi...not the board. Edited October 28, 2010 by Derek21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilMinder Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 We were having an issue with his feed a while ago, I don't know if that was ever fixed on the websites side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowdyFan42 Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Oops, I went and fixed it earlier today and forgot to post back. This will probably interest no one but Derek and DM, but here goes: DM's right, we'd been having problems getting a feed from BoNY ever since you moved back to Blogspot. Well, today I looked into it again and I did manage to pull a feed, but it doesn't contain the full articles, just the first little bit. Still, better than nothing, and the board's RSS importer adds a link back to BoNY so you can read the whole thing if you want, so that works out. Another issue was, even after I managed to wrestle a feed out of the site, I discovered that Blogger does not support the single-author feeds that we prefer. The last time we let the full BoNY feed through, there was practically a mutiny over the fact that Rangers articles were being posted, so I knew I had to do something about that. After wasting some time fiddling with Feedburner and generally beating the crap out of Google, I (re)discovered Yahoo Pipes, which is a powerful tool for all sorts of data manipulation. After some tooling around, I finally got Pipes to work (for a while it insisted upon not including the article content, only the titles), so now Hasan's recaps should be showing up.

thelastonealive Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Are you guys having a similar issue with ItB? I've noticed out stories stopped appearing. Wasn't gonna mention it, but since the we're sorta on the topic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowdyFan42 Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Looks like the feed URLs changed and the board didn't like the redirect. Fixed now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek21 Posted October 31, 2010 Author Share Posted October 31, 2010 Thanks a lot Rowdy. I had no idea. I can't say it shocks me. Maybe we need a new server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
