Hi Guys,

I recently purchased the RSS Feed Object to be able to display our Fire Danger Ratings from our local Fire Authority who provide an RSS Feed for this.

The RSS Feed link is: https://www.cfa.vic.gov.au/rss-feeds

The RSS Feed I am trying to us is: https://www.cfa.vic.gov.au/cfa/rssfeed/central-firedistrict_rss.xml

The RSS Feed is as follows:

<rss xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:taxo="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/taxonomy/" version="2.0"><channel><title>Country

This is how I have entered the data into the RSS Feed Object:

After entering all required data into the RSS Object and uploading the site, I get the following result:

if I paste the RSS Feed onto the site using HTML Code I get the following result, showing that the RSS data seems to be working, just not being picked up by the RSS Object.

Can anyone throw some light on what I may be doing wrong...

Thanks for any help.

Cheers

John

John, just so you know we are not ignoring you, I would love to offer advise but sadly I do not own the RSS optional object. I am sure others do and you will get assistance in due course. But because I cannot assist you I have marked your post for Incomedia's attention.

Hello John

I've verified the situation and I must confirm that the feed you presented should work with the Object. However, it doesn't

I've notified the developers of this so that the issue can be checked for you

I'll keep you posted here as soon as news on this becomes avaialble

Thank you

Stefano

Hi Stefano,

I have solved the problem by using FeedWind. It's only $9 a year so was worth the effort and the RSS is working like a charm. Check it out at https://garfieldweather.com.au

I'm sorry I could not wait for a reply from the developers as we are now reaching our Fire Danger period and this is needed for my website. Last year the fire brigade gave us a widget to use but they have switched over to RSS feeds for this season.

Thanks again for your help and I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and best wishes for the New Year.

Please stay safe.

Cheers

John
