News Feed - NPR

[earnestrichards]

I had found this one - http://www.npr.org/rss/rss.php?id=1001 - but it crashes the config file.

Any feed that ends in .php does the same.

It may be that I just don’t understand how these things work and need to learn and read more.

@earnestrichards said in News Feed - NPR:

http://www.npr.org/rss/rss.php?id=1001

put that into a browser, it returns the feed in xml
as for config

		{
			module: "newsfeed",
			position: "bottom_bar",
			config: {
				feeds: [
					{
						title: "NPR feed",
						url: "http://www.npr.org/rss/rss.php?id=1001"
					}
				],
				showSourceTitle: true,
				showPublishDate: true,
				broadcastNewsFeeds: true,
				broadcastNewsUpdates: true
			}
		},

Grrrr… still no luck…

Here’s the snippet from my config.js:

			module: "newsfeed",
			position: "bottom_bar",
			config: {
				feeds: [
					{
						title: "New York Times",
						url: "https://rss.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml"
					},
					{
						title: "CNN",
						url: "http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss"
					},
//					{
//						title: "NPR"
//						url: "https://feeds.npr.org/1001/rss.xml"
//					},
//					{
//						title: "Houston Chronicle"
//						url: "https://www.chron.com/rss/feed/Houston-and-Texas-272.php"
//					},
				],
				showSourceTitle: true,
				showPublishDate: true,
				broadcastNewsFeeds: true,
				broadcastNewsUpdates: true
			}
		},

@earnestrichards

//					{
//						title: "NPR"        < ----- missing comma ,

@sdetweil You’re a freaking genius. Thanks. It’s always something ‘silly’ like that… earlier I had a misplaced “{”
