rss2 newsfeeds hack?

This was a misunderstanding. I thought that you want add RSS 2.0 feeds to your website and not importing RSS 2.0 from other websites Hushed Face

The current news import feature is fully compatible with RSS 2.0. I assume that  allow_url_fopen is disabled in your php.ini. You need to enable this option to allow fopen accessing external websites.

I FTP'd both files up to the server as ASCII and I'm still getting
"No XML/RSS newsfeed found. You need to enter the full URL to the newsfeed (e.g. http://www.site/xml/backend.php)"
when i try to add a new rss news feed from another site - (such as http://feeds.smartmoney.com/smartmoney/headlines) - to import news into the news queue

I appreciate your patience! - Is there anything else to try?

It's still not working.
I copied the code into a text editor (TextPad) to get ride of any hidden code or spaces, then re-pasted it into the template editor

Could there be another fix?

Thanks!

Sound like that one of the two templates have a white space character immediately after $EST_TEMPLATE = <<<TEMPLATE which is causing a PHP error.

I changed the templates as noted, then tried the two newsfeeds. I keep getting this error:

No XML/RSS newsfeed found. You need to enter the full URL to the newsfeed (e.g. http://www.site/xml/backend.php)

This could be done by changing the following two templates:

xml_header

<?php

global $insert;

$EST_TEMPLATE = <<<TEMPLATE

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>

<rss version="2.0">

  <channel>

           <title>$insert[site_name]</title>

             <link>$insert[site_url]/index.php</link>

              <description>Last 20 items on $insert[site_name]</description>

                <generator>Esselbach Storyteller CMS System</generator>



TEMPLATE;

?>


xml_output

<?php

global $insert;



$insert[story_time]   = date("r",strtotime($insert[story_time]));



$EST_TEMPLATE = <<<TEMPLATE



               <item>

                      <title>$insert[story_title]</title>

                   <link>$insert[story_link]</link>

                      <description>$insert[story_text]</description>

                        <pubDate>$insert[story_time]</pubDate>

                </item>



TEMPLATE;

?>
