Thread: [Fofredux-devel] Adding a feed manually?

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Is there a way to add a feed without going thru the panel? I'm asking
since I would like to add a feed to my installation but the "add
feeds" function is currently broken.

When I click on "add feeds" I get the following error.

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in
/var/www/fofredux_0.4-dev/lib/view_helper.php on line 272

This is documented in bug 1522826. Though this bug is referencing
editing a feed, that's where I first noticed it. But trying to add a
feed comes up with the same error.

What command can I use to add the feed to the database table?

I'm pushing this to the list so that Kevin and others can see this
specific message (and it can be archived for search posterity ;)

By default, a "None" category is created, which makes every feed have
at least a category and not a NULL ( I think this is actual proper db
design, not that I would know ;) So you will probably need to add that
back in. Once you add that in, you may need to repair your DB, b/c I
don't remember/know what happens to the feeds that ref'd a category
when you delete it. It used to push it to "None" by default.
Especially when that was the last category.

In the DB, it will look for the 1 id of categories (which used to be 'None').

Hrm, I think that's odd. I hope when you delete a category normally it
doesn't delete the associated feeds. The feeds should just point to
"None". That will have to be tested.

Hopefully you have a saved OPML file or db backup?

The feeds don't get deleted, they are just *hidden* from the application.=

In the SQL queries for feeds and items, an inner join is used to pull in
the category name.  If the category_id does not exist, that feed/item is
not included in the result.

I left a TODO in the category remove method to reset all feeds to the Non=
e
category when a category is deleted.  I haven't done it yet.

The error I am referring to is an error when I tried to add a feed
after I had deleted the category. Which would not work since the DB
was wiped out. The initial error I reported with adding a feed is
still a problem.

There is something definatly weird going on. Now with a restored DB
trying to add a category gives me the same error message I was talking
to Andrew about.

Fatal error: mysql error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check
the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right
syntax to use near '('fr_categories_id_seq')' at line 1] in
EXECUTE("select currval('fr_categories_id_seq')")
Error performing database operation, Maybe you need to run the installer.
in /var/www/fofredux_0.4-dev/lib/model/base.php on line 251

So after you restore your DB - go to install.php and have it see if
your DB needs to be updated after some revision maybe?

I just ran install.php again and nothing changed. The error was still
there when adding a category and going to the 'add feeds' link.

Andrew, what snapshot are you using? Maybe I should try a a later one,
though I don't think anything has been updated since I installed the
0711 snapshot.
