Newsfeed "ignoreOldItems" does not work

[StrikeBack83]

Hi,
my config says to ignore items older than 14 hours (50400000ms),
but that does not work. I still see news older than this.

Heres my newsfeed module:

         {
          module: "newsfeed",
          position: "bottom_bar",
          showSourceTitle: true,
          showPublishDate: true,
          config: {
                   feeds: [
                          {
                           title: "Kurier",
                           url: "http://kurier.at/xml/rssd"
                          },
                          {
                           title: "Der Standard",
                           url: "http://derStandard.at/?page=rss&ressort=Seite1"
                          },
                          {
                           title: "Giga",
                           url: "http://www.giga.de/feed/"
                          }
                          ],
                   ignoreOldItems: "true",
                   ignoreOlderThan: 50400000,
                   updateInterval: 20000
                  }
         }

@StrikeBack83 I just checked your config and it seems to work fine, as the oldest news I got was 12.5 hours old.

Though there are some small issues with your config:

  ...
  position: "bottom_bar",
  showSourceTitle: true,
  showPublishDate: true,
  config: {
    feeds: [
      ...

showSourceTitle and showPublishDate are config options and have to be moved into the config section like

...
  position: "bottom_bar",
  config: {
    showSourceTitle: true,
    showPublishDate: true,
    feeds: [
      ...

But why did they work then? Because their default value is set to true so you don’t have to specify it at all like

...
  position: "bottom_bar",
  config: {
    feeds: [
      ...

Another issue is ignoreOldItems. A boolean (true and false) have to be defined without quotes, otherwise it will be always true. "true" => true and "false" => true

  ],
  ignoreOldItems: true,
  ignoreOlderThan: 50400000,

Hi,
If

showSourceTitle: true,
showPublishDate: true,

is true by default i’m going to delete it completely.
I’ll try the “ignoreOldItems: true” without quote marks when i get home!
Thanks!

Edit: Seems like it’s working at the moment. Obviously it was the “true” in quots.
