Title: featured article problem
Post by: macleod2 on April 09, 2008, 07:47:57 AM
hi,

why is it that I can get rss content showing up in featured article #n?

I have got the featured article working but it was not so straight forward, nice work anyway folks!

I was able to replicate the problem on your demo portal.

Very happy to use your code, happy customer.

 :)

Hi Ricardo,

Thankyou for the reply.

Followup:

I have also had the problem appear when the dns failed for a site that I was getting {rss3} from which then switched to {rss1}. Can you think of a way to handle the error processing to retain a copy from the last cached data which does not cost too many cycles? Or would it be better to have the means to "pre-prepair" a formated set of data from whatever source for a specific area? I don't have a clue how you  program the news portal, I am just trying to guess at things...

thanks.

This is an interesting idea. I will report this to our programmers in order to consider it for future releases, if is possible.
