RSS Feed not showing up.

[greenbean]

Hey Peeps,

 

We had your PBBans ban feed running for many years on the HackHunters.com home page without issue, but now, with making our website secure, we lost the feed.  (we placed the RSS Feed on the Home Page, side bar, is now a blank area)

 

First, I don't know where to find the url for it on your site, perhaps the URL changed, and second adding a 's' after http in the URL we were using doesn't work.  Any suggestions?

 

Thanks and as always, the best...

What is the link you are using?

<iframe width="400" height="400" style="border:none;" src="http://output79.rssinclude.com/output?type=iframe&id=542896&hash=1322f90abbe338c1ee1bad018b9afccb"></iframe>

 

This is what worked before... thanks MaydaX nice to see you around.

The issue seems to be the rssinclude.com site does not have a valid SSL cert for output79.rssinclude.com so browsers block it.

 

Many forums and website portal usually have a rss reader option so not sure if the one you're using has one.

 

You could also try having your site read the data using a php file. Save the following into a file called pbbansrss.php and upload to your website.

<?php
$url='http://output79.rssinclude.com/output?type=iframe&id=542896&hash=1322f90abbe338c1ee1bad018b9afccb';
$ch=curl_init();
$timeout=5;

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout);

// Get URL content
$lines_string=curl_exec($ch);
// close handle to release resources
curl_close($ch);
//output, you can also save it locally on the server
echo $lines_string;
?>

Then link the iframe to it

<iframe width="400" height="400" style="border:none;" src="https://www.hackhunters.com/pbbansrss.php"></iframe>

hmm, didn't work. I may have the php file in the wrong place, maybe. We're working on it and will get back to you. Thanks

It's showing a blank page which likely means a php error. You can try uploading this file to see if that solves it.

 

pbbansrss.zip

Unzipped and uploaded.

 

This might be a security feature, preventing it from showing. We've got a wicked good IT guy, wOOdy, but he's busy these days. Give us a couple more days. Thanks MaydaX.
