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

Tue Apr 28 15:31:12 BST 2015

Hi Ron,

That probably means that it isn't working... is the console giving any errors at all? Or in the network tab (in console) are you getting any 404 errors or similar? It may take some time for the ajax call to timeout...

I don't think changes to xenith.js would do anything in this situation but I see that rss_proxy includes the config.php file so if anything has changed in there recently that could possibly have caused something to break...

Hi John
thanks for the suggestion.
Changing that line does get past the rssproxy errors but I'd still be keen
to find out exactly what actually changed to break this because it's been
working fine even recently. Good that it doesn't require rssproxy but the
other thing I can't spot at the moment is that if I change that line to
shorturl = "http://is.gd/api.php?longurl=" + pastedurl; it bypasses the
rssproxy error and displays the correct qr code but doesn't show the
shorturl above the qr code.

I compared the latest QRcode.html from develop with just this change made,
with a copy from my install where the qr code and short url are showing and
the only difference seems to be this changed line. Is there perhaps a recent
change in xenith.js affecting this?
Cheers
Ron

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
