inforss reloaded - palemoon version of inforss

[thosrtanner]

Just quick confirmation that when you go to options/advanced/debug , the 'log error in console' is on (I presume display popup on screen is also on). If not, switch it on.

Then go to the palemoon Tools/Web Developer => Browser console (not the error console)

Make sure everything under the 'js' (yellow button) pop is clicked and ditto for the logging (gray button). Yes, these seem to duplicate each other, and I'm not sure if they're both necessary, but it's how I have mine. And yes, I realise inforss logging is dire!

You should I imagine see a message in the browser console when (just after) that popup happens (and you should occasionally see messages from inforss as it goes about its business). The message should include a full stack trace. The line you get in the popup is where it catches the exception and pops up the message which isn't entirely helpful.

If I can't get anything from that it may be worth sending me your inforss.xml in a pm

Released 2.2.0.3 which fixes the error box caused by menu wizard extension calling an onclick callback without a triggerNode in the event and removes the flexible space which had crept onto the status bar

Thanks to silv7k for keeping me on my toes!

Found this on the PM Add-ons site, except the "Find add-ons..." search box did not work as expected. For "rss" it listed only Sage and Bamboo, not Info. For "info" and "inforss" it gave no results. Can search terms be added to Phoebus, maybe?

[thosrtanner]

Ohh. I've added rss, atom, news and headlines keywords - and inforss which seems odd.

[thosrtanner]

Following on from this topic. I've released a new version (2.3.0.1) of inforss. This is also compatible with palemoon 29.

Among other thing, the option window code has been subject to major refactoring, and some of the behaviour has been improved - or at least made more consistent

The way the headline bar scrolls headlines has also been given a bit of love, and the occasional occurrence of headlines overwriting each other has hopefully been corrected.

[thosrtanner]

This has had a bunch of annoying bugs fixed (some of which have been reported by other people!) and now works on waterfox, though for how long is unclear... I've also updated the min supported version of palemoon to 32.2.0.0 and the max to 33.

Highlights:

• Tooltips on headlines in the popup menu now match those on scrollbar (and will play podcasts!)

• Updating the config from the option screen doesn't result

• Log messages are (usually) classified

• Option to refresh information for a feed, which will update URLs and the favicon, and takes account of temporary redirects

• Options window works on linux

• Installs on seamonkey

A couple of small changes prompted by testing it with the feed score project from https://rachelbythebay.com/

Important note:

There is an issue with feedburner feeds, in that they do not like having the Sec- request headers set and will return a 403 error (this happens with other feed readers as well).

Palemoon 33.3.0 introduced these headers. So if you are using palemoon 33.3.0 and are subscribed to any feedburner feeds, you need to set the

Code: Select all

network.http.secfetch.enabled

preference in

Code: Select all

about:config

to false

[askarul]

on a majority of rss feeds when I display the tooltips by placing the mouse on the title it shows me an image (not a whole one).
I haven't found anywhere in the options how to force the display the article summary and not this image which doesn't give me any information about the article.

[thosrtanner]

Under Options -> Basic -> General, you can select the tooltip style for headlines to:

• Article description - the article description (if provided)

• Full headline - the full headline

• All info - Article title, publication date, page link and description

• Full article - this will create a small popup containing the full article

It looks like you have it set to the latter. I'd suggest full headline or description, but some feeds don't provide descriptions.

I have never used a feed reader before. I just use the Bookmarks Toolbar, and LiveClick Luner to keep them updated.
Around v33.3, one feed stopped updating. PortableApps.com, and until I just read this post I wasn't able to get it back.
It is a FeedBurner feed, the only one I have.
So thank you @thosrtanner for this fix.

I do hope Feedburner will fix this. The Sec-Fetch-* headers, while not necessarily critical for now, may become hard-required for some sites as things progress as websites are increasingly forced to check whether requests should be considered valid.
They are also so-called "forbidden" headers, meaning web content/scripting can't touch them and they are solely under the purview of the web client/browser, meaning they are considered immutable pieces of information websites can rely on.

I've already tried these four options but it's the same.
when I read the same rss feed on other readers I have the description displayed!
For information, here are two sites where I have this problem:
www.clubic.com
www.generation-nt.com

[thosrtanner]

Ah. These appear to be the media enclosures with the headlines, which are very very large (and some of the images appear to be broken, with some of the information being like this:

<enclosure url="https://img.generation-nt.com/logo-youp ... 699921.png" length="22848" type="image/jpeg"/>
<media:content url="https://img.generation-nt.com/logo-youp ... 699921.png" width="1920" height="1080" expression="full" type="image/jpeg"/>

.png is not jpeg!

)

They are incidentally quite big. I'll have a look at the code and see what can be done about displaying them, but it appears to be knocking the other display off the screen somehow.

Sadly they don't appear to be very contactable. I tried putting something on their forums but zip response.

I haven't found anywhere in the options how to force the display the article summary and not this image which doesn't give me any information about the article.

I've been looking at this and it was due to inforss not treating images quite the same as other enclosures (video/audio clips).

I've updated inforss to treat all enclosures the same, so they won't be displayed unless you ask for them, and when they do get displayed it's in a smaller tooltip window.

It should be available from the palemoon addons site soon, otherwise you can download from https://github.com/ThosRTanner/inforss/ ... nforss.xpi if you can't wait to try it.

Hope that fixes your problem.

Thanks for using inforss
