[Xerte] Re: Question about published content and PHP - QR code page

Tue Apr 28 12:58:46 BST 2015

Hi Ron,

I don't know about any changes to rss_proxy so it should work but it is mainly referenced from the flash engine and used because of cross site issues.

Looking at the code for QR page though then it looks like rss_proxy is simply adding another step that could be done by the ajax call...

Try changing this line:

shorturl = "rss_proxy.php?rss=http://is.gd/api.php?longurl=" + pastedurl;

to just this

shorturl = "http://is.gd/api.php?longurl=" + pastedurl;

I don't see why that shouldn't work... it works if you just paste it in a browser...

Hi John
I'm just wondering if what you mention here is linked to an issue with the
QR code page I posted this morning on gitub.
e.g. the QR code page is now giving rssproxy errors. It seems like a recent
change has broken the QR code page. Existing and new projects with this page
break and give lots of rss proxy errors e.g.
Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$proxy2 in rss_proxy.php on line 35
There are many more similar errors.
This must be due to a relatively recent change because the QR code page in
an online installation I've been updating and testing with still works but
the very latest code as of this morning doesn't. However I suspect the
change isn't to the QR model itself but elsewhere and I haven't spotted
where so far.
Ron

Hi Pat,

We don't use the server to proxy RSS feeds any more for the RSS page. We use
the Google Feed API to return JSON
(https://developers.google.com/feed/v1/jsondevguide)

I'm pretty sure nothing now, other than user input, hardcoded urls, goes
back to the server from an exported HTML5 LO...

Exported content may via APIs and the RSS feed page go back to an install on
a server
