external.php feed not displaying ads

[EnergyFreak +]

What version of 68 Classifieds are you running?
V4.2.2.

What template are you using?
Custom

Please describe in detail the issue you are having:

I wanted to post this here before submitting a bug report because the problem might not be related to the file. Since the recent upgrade, my external.php is no longer displaying any ads. I noticed that the new version had an edited version of the external.php so it might be that.

I just tried with the demo and everything seems to be in order.

Could you provide more details please? Is it possible the file you're using has been changed?

No I uploaded the new file provided with version v4.2.2. and did not modify the file. It just displays nothing and says "This feed contains no entries." and on internet explorer 9 it gives me a feed error. You can check it out, my site is in the signature.

Its because there are html entities in the title. Please add this to the bug tracker and I'll fix it in the morning.

In the mean time you can use CDATA tags:

PHP Code:

//line 98:
echo "\t<title>" . htmlentities($title) . "</title>\r\n";
//line 101
echo "\t<description>" . html_entity_decode($Core->settings['description']) . "</description>\r\n";
//line 138
echo "\t\t\t" . '<title>' . Filter::special_chars($listing['title']) . $seperator . $price . '</title>' . "\r\n"; 


To see how to apply CDATA tags you can look in external.php line: 160

PHP Code:

echo "\t\t\t" . "<description><![CDATA[" . $imDescription . "]]></description>" . "\r\n";

PHP Code:

//line 98:
echo "\t<title>" . htmlentities($title) . "</title>\r\n";
// replace it with 
//line 98:
echo "\t<title>" . $title . "</title>\r\n"; 


it's works with me
