Get URL from Newsfeed (full article)

Sennahoj82

How do I get the url of the full article of the shown newsfeed?
With

var title = this.newsItems[this.activeItem].title;

I get the headline of the newsfeed.

With

var description = this.newsItems[this.activeItem].description;

I get the description of the newsfeed.

But

var url = this.newsItems[this.activeItem].url;

does not show anything.

With this URL I want to open the full article of the newsfeed. What do I wrong?

Which newsfeed are you using? Did you open your newsfeed in a browser to see if there is an entry with url or link?

fetcher.js does this:

var url = item.url || item.link || "";

So if you use the default news feed http://rss.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml you see there is an entry link as a child node of item. Maybe your newsfeed uses something other than url or link?

Hi yawns.

I am using these newsfeeds http://www.tagesschau.de/xml/rss2 and https://thib24.de/feed.
I see no difference between the default newsfeed and my.

So I myself have tried the default newsfeed and it also won’t work.

If I put out the url to log information

var url = this.newsitems[this.activeItem].url;
Log.info("Article_URL " + url);

the browser provide this information: Article_URL undefined.

Ok.

I’ve solved the problem. There wasn’t a url decleration in my fetcher.js.
I put it in to the fetcher.js an it works very well now.
Thanks for your help.

Great forum.
