[xwiki-users] Still can't use the RSS!
Hi everyone, as mentionned before, I have followed some tips given before (by Anca Luca I believe) regarding the private RSS feed. I have also found Vincent's post on private rss on XWiki.org ( http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/PrivateRssFeeds) But I still can't make it work .... I have tried the feed in several reader, and it just won't work. Or to be more correct, I can subscribe to the feed, and it shows me the latest changes, but it won't refresh .... BTW, the generic rss feed does not contain the "&basicauth=1 " recommended by Vincent, and I don't know how to change that .... If I can't make the RSS work, I will end-up with zero adoption here .... Any help is welcome ... Xavier
I second this. I too tried subscribing to feeds -- both from my local XE installation and from playground.xwiki.org, using FeedDemon reader. Just to clarify, the feed URL I use for getting my Watchlist from playground.xwiki.org is "http://playground.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/WatchListRss?xpage=plain&ou..." Unlike Xavier, I don't even get the first set of items listed. Milind ----- Original Message ----

I just tried it myself with a 2.3 private wiki and authenticated feed and thunderbird, and it all went very fine: updated the first list of 15 articles (or so), then I created a page in the wiki and I got it in the feed in tb. Now, 1/ what version of wiki are you using? (I guess something under 2.2 if you needed the workaround for private feeds) 2/ in order to be sure it's the feed and not the reader, could you access the feed address in Firefox (paste it in the bar and hit enter) and check that the updates are indeed not there? Also, if you could try to get the feed with curl (http://curl.haxx.se/) and checkout the resulted document it would be great! (as it won't depend on any reader at all and we'd be sure it's the feed not updating and not the client). Also, what do you mean by "won't refresh?" what actions do you take, what's the result you expect, what's the actual result?
BTW, the generic rss feed does not contain the "&basicauth=1 " recommended by Vincent, and I don't know how to change that ....
You can change that in XWIKI (at the top left) -> Administer Wiki -> Presentation, the "HTTP Meta Information" field, at the end of it, you'll see a fragment like: <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Wiki Feed RSS" href="$xwiki.getURL('Main.WebRss', 'view', 'xpage=rdf')" /> <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Blog RSS Feed" href="$xwiki.getURL('Blog.GlobalBlogRss', 'view', 'xpage=plain')" /> you should change it to something like: <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Wiki Feed RSS" href="$xwiki.getURL('Main.WebRss', 'view', 'xpage=rdf&basicauth=1')" /> <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Blog RSS Feed" href="$xwiki.getURL('Blog.GlobalBlogRss', 'view', 'xpage=plain&basicauth=1')" /> so the links to the RSS that your browser notifies you about (the one you see in the browser address bar, not the one in the quick links panel) point to the authenticated feed. If you want to change the ones in the quicklinks panel, you should go to Panels -> QuickLinks, say edit (inline form) and there look for the place where the links are generated (with calls like the above) and add the extra parameter. I hope this all helps, Anca

1. The watchlist is not a generic RSS feed with all the changes in the wiki, but only for the documents/spaces you are watching, so it's normal that it doesn't list anything for guests. 2. The example that you provided, the playground, is not private, the watchlist RSS works fine for guests. 3. Some RSS clients don't send the authentication information unless the server responds with a 401. Now, see 2, the client doesn't receive a 401, so it just reads the returned feed (the guest feed). See 1. In a private wiki, one that would send a 401 (after the fix), the RSS client should receive the right feed for a user. If the feed is empty, then you're not watching any documents. You can just add the entire wiki in your watchlist if you want to monitor everything, but for that there's the global wiki RSS, see http://playground.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebRss?xpage=plain&outputSyn... -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/
Thanks for the answer. Here's the situation 1/ what version of wiki are you using? (I guess something under 2.2 if you needed the workaround for private feeds) I believe XWiki Enterprise 1.1 (is that possible? We installed it in january) 2/ in order to be sure it's the feed and not the reader, could you access the feed address in Firefox (paste it in the bar and hit enter) and check that the updates are indeed not there? In FF, I get into GReader directly (since I set it up that way) In Chrome, I come to the identification page in IE8, I see the feed, but it tells me that it can't refresh that private feed 3/Also, what do you mean by "won't refresh?" what actions do you take, what's the result you expect, what's the actual result? I wanted to follow that feed in Outlook, but it does not create a feed (i.e. the RSS icon) but a folder in which I can see the last changes made in the wiki. And I don't see any 'refresh' button ... I will look at the changes you gave me for the &basicauth=1 part ... On Sat, Mar 20, 2010 at 11:17 PM, Anca Luca <ancapaula.luca@xwiki.com>wrote:

You can change that in XWIKI (at the top left) -> Administer Wiki -> Presentation, the "HTTP Meta Information" field, at the end of it, you'll see a fragment like:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Wiki Feed RSS" href="$xwiki.getURL('Main.WebRss', 'view', 'xpage=rdf')" /> <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Blog RSS Feed" href="$xwiki.getURL('Blog.GlobalBlogRss', 'view', 'xpage=plain')" />
you should change it to something like:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Wiki Feed RSS" href="$xwiki.getURL('Main.WebRss', 'view', 'xpage=rdf&basicauth=1')" /> <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Blog RSS Feed" href="$xwiki.getURL('Blog.GlobalBlogRss', 'view', 'xpage=plain&basicauth=1')" />
so the links to the RSS that your browser notifies you about (the one you see in the browser address bar, not the one in the quick links panel) point to the authenticated feed.
If you want to change the ones in the quicklinks panel, you should go to Panels -> QuickLinks, say edit (inline form) and there look for the place where the links are generated (with calls like the above) and add the extra parameter.
I hope this all helps, Anca
