View Full Version : Hate bugging people but... Just something about the RSS feed

Just now I took a look at my own RSS feed through bloglines.com (an online news aggregator) and there are no thumbnails. :shock:

I took a look at some of the other old posts about the RSS feed on this forum, but I can't figure it out. I bet it's something I'm doing wrong, but don't know what.

I've noticed that some of the pixelpost blogs have thumbnails showing in their RSS feed and some don't. I've been comparing the feeds and can't find the difference. :?

EDIT: Now I ran into another problem. When I tried to regenerate the thumbnails it gives me these two warnings per every thumbnail:
Warning: imagejpeg() [function.imagejpeg]: Unable to open '../thumbnails/thumb_011004.jpg' for writing in /home/virtual/site162/fst/var/www/html/blog/admin/index.php on line 1182

Warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: Operation not permitted in /home/virtual/site162/fst/var/www/html/blog/admin/index.php on line 1184

And those two lines in the index.php look like this (lines 1182-1184):
imagejpeg($img, "../thumbnails/thumb_$file",$cfgrow['compression']);
$thumbimage = "../thumbnails/thumb_$file";
chmod($thumbimage,0644);

I don't get it. :shock:

I am not sure.
Your site gives me thumbnails.

The feed validates validates (http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http://www.tk.neoartists.net/blog/?x=rss)

I see if I can get a contact at bloglines to review what the trouble is.

re the thumbnail issue.

Have you done anything out of the ordinary lately? Like ftp'ing up thumbnails or just altering the permissions (owner) of the thumbnails?

I would like all info on that one as I have absolutely no clue what's going on there...

Oh, there we go! Seems like deleting all the thumbnails and then regenerating them worked. Don't really know what happened there but this worked anyways. I might have downloaded the thumbs on my hard drive and uploaded them to another folder via FTP. So that might have caused it.

But that didn't change them not showing up through bloglines. I'll try some other service/software as soon as I have the time.

Anyway, thanks for the help! :)

Yes if you upload via ftp the script don't own the thumbs and are blocked out from the party :)

I've emailed bloglines, see what they can come up with. The feed validates, but that doesn't mean it's perfect. Validators can be mistaken although I think the feed should be of good standard.

We'll see what they have to say.

I think they fixed it! That was quick. :shock: Everything's so quick. :P
