Hi. I just started using Selfoss since Google announced the impending demise of Reader, and I rather like it so far. However, there is one feature that Selfoss lacks which Google Reader made attractive (and, in fact, the reason I used it) - the ability to read a single site's feed at a time.

Could you add a view to Selfoss similar to the Add Source view which allows the user to scroll through the articles from a particular site only?

Say I have two tags, football and foo. Filtering by the tag foo matches both of the tags.

I've got round this by making the following mod to daos\mysql\Items.php (line 172)

        // tag filter
        if(isset($options['tag']) && strlen($options['tag'])>0) {
            $params[':tag'] = array("%,".$options['tag'].",%", \PDO::PARAM_STR);
            $where .= " AND (','|| sources.tags || ',' LIKE :tag) ";

Hi,
I just tried to import an opml with folders and got the following debug message: "Debug opml import: invalid item $FOLER_NAME ".
I was able to work around this issue by removing the folder tags from the xml.

Shame the version I downloaded from the site has nasty syntax errors in it. Ugh:

Hello,

I've just installed selfoss on an apache server which is also running several php app without problem, and I've got an Internal Server Error :

Undefined index: magic_quotes_gpc
#0 /selfoss/index.php:3 require('/selfoss/libs/f3/base.php')

Do you need to have magic_quotes_gpc turned on to run selfoss ?

The data/favicons and data/thumbnails folders are missing. It seems the commit 21f9198 should be repeated.

Is there any migration path between RSSLounge & SelfOSS ?
I'd like to keep starred items from my rsslounge install and be able to import them into selfoss

Is there any way to run selfoss on lighttpd?

It would be really cool if Selfoss could be configured so that by pressing 'v' the tab opens in the background.
I am using Chrome and I am not 100% sure if this is a Selfoss thing or a Chrome issue. If I could get some hints where to look I could help!

As can be seen on the screenshot below, selfoss has some problems rendering diacritics or "special" characters in sources' titles.

For example : çéèêüß cause the problem... (I haven't tested all of the possibilities, but this seems rather generic about non [a-zA-Z] characters.
The font of the word containing such a character falls back to the default one of the browser, beginning with the faulty character and gets back to selfoss normal font with the beginning of the next word, until another problematic character appear.

Moreover the apostrophe sign is rendered with its escaped HTML equivalent: ’

I want to put some environment variables in config file in order to deploy to OpenShift. So can you make config.ini to config.php like WordPress?

Redirect to main page after login/logout not work.

...and makes the site scroll sidewards on ICS with a small viewport.

Hi,

Selfoss (1.3 and 2.0b) doesn't work well with RSS feeds which have invalid mimetype (e.g. text/plain instead of application/rss+xml).

It can be easily fixed by replacing:

        $this->feed = @new \SimplePie();
        @$this->feed->set_cache_location(\F3::get('cache'));
        @$this->feed->set_cache_duration(1800);
        @$this->feed->set_feed_url(htmlspecialchars_decode($params['url']));

        // fetch items
        @$this->feed->init();

with

        $this->feed = @new \SimplePie();
        @$this->feed->set_cache_location(\F3::get('cache'));
        @$this->feed->set_cache_duration(1800);
        @$this->feed->set_feed_url(htmlspecialchars_decode($params['url']));

        @$this->feed->force_feed(true);

        // fetch items
        @$this->feed->init();

near line 150 in spouts/rss/feed.php (see http://simplepie.org/wiki/reference/simplepie/force_feed).

It's quite weird. I installed Selfoss, configured the database stuff, the base url, and so on, but when I click on "Adding source", it does simply nothing. IMHO, it isn't normal. Any idea ?

I'm running 2.1 downloaded from http://selfoss.aditu.de/selfoss-2.1.zip

Problem

I have some feeds which aren't very kind with their dates, i.e. they come with a date from the future. This results in news entries like " _title_ [tag] feedname • -1820758 seconds ago ".

Proposal

Don't allow dates after now(), and reset all dates after now() to now().

Hi,

der RSS-Feed von zeit.de lässt sich bei mir nicht laden. Weder eine Fehlmeldung findet sich noch Ergänzungen wie ?fmt=xml helfen weiter, gibt es eine Tipp oder Workaround hierfür? Issue #35 ist es z.B. nicht (type="application/rss+xml" vorhanden).

Danke für das Superprogramm! Ich steige gerade von RSS Lounge um und bin begeistert als Nutzer mit Chrome, Android Phone und Tablet sowie iPad mini.

zeit.de doesn't work, other are. Workarounds like ?fmt=xml or #35 won't work. Any idea?

I noticed whlie using Selfoss for a while that articles I've just read don't get marked as read by default in the application. It'd be nice if users didn't have to manually mark everything they've just read as such before moving on. If nothing else, it would help keep the database down to a managable size after a few weeks of use.

Currently the news are sorted by feeds and oldest post first. So I get something like

• Feed B - post 10 July
• Feed B - post 20 July
• Feed B - post 27 July
• Feed A - post 13 July
• Feed A - post 25 July

And would like to have the ability to see something like

• Feed B - post 27 July
• Feed A - post 25 July
• Feed B - post 20 July
• Feed A - post 13 July
• Feed B - post 10 July

I saw it was done on that screenshot but couldn't find how to enable it.

I just had the weird experience that i was unable to set up password protection for selfoss. I figured it was because of the salt being too long.

Maybe not so trivial: https://gist.github.com/4091461

It doesn't look like this is source code for an Android app . Even PhoneGap things must have a Manifest.

It seems like these rules don't have any effect, so requests to /icons get 404'd atm on my server.

Hello,

since the previous version did not work for me, I gave it a try with 2.0

This is what I get in my error.log:
//selfoss/index.php:47 Base->route('GET /','controllers\Index->home')

Any ideas ?

Thanks.

I'm testing selfoss in my public_html and access it with http://localhost/~michael/selfoss. This is the output (even after I adjust RewriteBase in .htaccess):

Not Found
HTTP 404 (GET /~michael/selfoss/)

If I set the base_url option and add this line after the line where the config file is read it works:

$f3->set('BASE', $f3->get('base_url'));

Is this the right way or am I missing a configuration option here?

For now I'll post this suggestion here - since I have no idea how this GitHub thing works - I've made a slight adjustment in selfoss to support fullscreen webapp capability on iOS devices.

Added to my config.ini the following line. When set to 1, selfoss is enabled to run fullscreen on iOS, if set to 0 - it retains it's old behaviour.

fullscreen_webapp=1

Added the following line to /selfoss/helpers/View.php on line 35, right before $lastSlash = strrpos(...)

$this->fullscreenwebapp = \F3::get('fullscreen_webapp');

On the forum, Baz4096 suggested to also add the following on ~ line 20 to improve compatibility (he had problems running my hack, whilst it worked fine on my server)

public $markasreadopenentry = 0;

And finally I added the following code to /selfoss/templates/home.phtml, right before the -tag.

<?PHP if($this->fullscreenwebapp=='1'){ ?><!-- MOD iOS webapp -->
    <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">
    <link rel="apple-touch-startup-image" href="public/images/ios-splash-320x460.png" media="screen and (max-device-width: 320px)">
    <link rel="apple-touch-startup-image" href="public/images/ios-splash-640x920.png" media="(max-device-width: 480px) and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2)">
<? } ?>

The images used are these:

There is however still an issue with the fullscreen-view which I haven't been abled to figure out just yet - when tapping on a entry_source link - it'll open within the fullscreen webapp. This can be used to a good end, but at this point it's just a nuisance since you lose control of the webapp. So it's good for reading the RSS snippets only right now.

I know this is not the right way to work with GitHub - but I don't quite get how it works yet, it's a little complicated/overwhelming

Hi,
I try to install Selfoss on my server. I have followed the documentation you provide(set permissions, fill the .ini file) but, when I access to its URL I have this message:

Internal Server Error
Invalid argument supplied for foreach()

The apache's logs are are not more talkative. It looks like issue #2 but I didn't manage to get it work. I'm currently using apache 2 and php Version 5.4.10 .
Any idea ?

Antoine

When I try to start selfoss from a fresh installation (running it the first time) I get the error:

Internal Server Error
Undefined class models\Items

in error.log: mod_fcgid: stderr: Undefined class models\Items

I configured it with sqllite and I am using PHP 5.3

Any hints how to solve this ?

Thanks,

Hi, i get the following error message when sign in: Communication Error
Login via selfoss auth and https.

Line 44 of templates/login.phtml has a tiny typo: "Generated Passwort" where it should say "Generated Password".

(I tried to fix this and do a pull request, but git insists on inserting "\ No newline at end of file" in the patch: https://github.com/MagnusEnger/selfoss/compare/passwort )

Hi,
#37 besteht weiterhin.

Neue sqlite-Datenbannk aufgesetzt, zeit.de eingetragen, wird angezeigt. Weitere Feeds hinzugefügt und zeit.de wird nicht mehr abgerufen (taucht noch nicht einmal in den Logs auf). Das sql-Kommando ausführen brachte auch keine Änderung. Statt sqlite, myqsl ausprobiert, ebenfalls keine Änderung. Eine Idee was ich noch ausprobieren kann?

Ein Backup der vollständigen Installation findet sich hier.

It is intentional that the items are not sorted by date, but are sorted by the id in mysql database?

I am trying to install selfoss on my server, but I always get these lines:

I just tried to import an opml. A few feeds have been imported correctly, but then I recieved a php error: "Undefined variable spout".

I was able to narrow down the error to controllers/Opml.php@148 and fixed(?) it by adding a declaration in line 127:

$spout = '';

I did not create a pull request because I lack understanding of your codebase.

If used mysql in version 2.0b the server says:

Internal Server Error
Fatal error: Class 'daos\mysql\DB\SQL' not found
• example/selfoss/daos/mysql/Database.php:32

Issuing a GET request against /update, /feed, /tags, /password or /rss doesn't require authentication which actually renders the option to have authentication useless.

/update is a special case since this must be callable via scripts so there should be the possibility to authenticate calls to /update e.g. via HTTP auth (which I've configured in my personal nginx instance now) or sth. else.

I am probably doing something wrong, but i don't get it to work. Note that i am trying to install selfoss on a shared host running PHP 5.3.8 as fastCGI, but that should not be an issue, no? It seems to me, that for any reason the autoloader of f3 is not working properly on my setup ... any ideas?

Hey,

you should not store any database details or passwords in .ini files. They're most likely to be view able as plain text on most webservers.

Fabian

Hello,
Updates are currently done via wget or curl call to http:///update
When updating many feeds, that leads to HTTP timeout (in my case, nginx returns "504 Gateway timeout").

Could be usefull to have a command line php-cli script to perform update without any timeout.

Even Google will stop their service, I have to own my reader.
How to deploy selfoss to OpenShift?

I am installing selfoss in a subdirectory of my DocumentRoot (http://servername/selfoss/).

When trying to connect, I get the contents of the index page, but I get no styling on the page at all. I also see no link to login, add sources, or otherwise administer the system. My apache error.log shows that the server cannot find all.css in /var/www/selfoss/.

I am using Debian stable with Apache2 as the web server, and I am using SQLite as the database. I literally unzipped the 2.2 release archive, did a chown -R www-data:www-data selfoss/ to change the ownership to the user Apache is running as and trying to browse to the site.

I suspect it might have to do with a mod_rewrite configuration and/or the .htaccess file, but I can't pinpoint the specific issue.

I also downloaded the latest GIT version, and the same problem occurs.

If a forum or other community exists and this is not the appropriate place for this issue (likely on my end), please direct me to the community.

Hi,

I'm trying to install selfoss on my computer with the following software:

• Mac OS X 10.7.5
• Nginx 1.2.7
• PHP 5.4.11

To use nginx, I have copied the settings from the framework you use, and adapted them to my system:

server {
    listen 8080;
    server_name selfoss.*;

    root /Users/rundfunk/www/selfoss;

    location / {
        index index.php index.html index.htm;
        try_files $uri /index.php;
    }
    location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root/$fastcgi_script_name;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }
}

However, when I go to my webbrowser and open the website, I get a HTTP 500 error (Internal Server Error). In my logfile I could find the following error:

2013/03/14 11:28:59 [error] 18045#0: *1 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: date_default_timezone_get(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings.
