feed_enclosures not rendering custom field containing mp3
Development and Programming
Uggh. Must be something stupid, everything but the mp3 renders in the resulting XML.

</item>See that big blank space between subject and date? What am I missing?
The custom field value is ‘https://ellislab.com/asset/images/ent-partner-logo/080429_Hard_Candy_Madonna.mp3’
ExpressionEngine 1.6.3 - 20080319
What does {podcast_file} contain? What formatting do you use?
see edit above. it contains
https://ellislab.com/asset/images/ent-partner-logo/080429_Hard_Candy_Madonna.mp3Encoding is ‘None’.
I can’t remember if this happens in RSS feeds, but maybe EE is turning the URL into a link. Is the setting “Automatically turn URLs and email addresses into links?” turned off for this weblog?
You find the setting under CP Home > Admin > Weblog Administration > Weblog Management > Edit Preferences
Oh, and the URL does link to an existing file right?
:(
that’s already turned off…
Can you link to a normal template page that contains {podcast_file} or show us the output?
yeah, i could run that up if you like, but it’s already working on the Comments page, so I know the mp3 plays:
<h2 class="title2">{title}</a></h2>
{podcast_summary}
<a href="http://{podcast_file}">{podcast_title}</a>I think you need to add parse_list to the feed_enclosures tag, e.g.
{exp:feed_enclosures type="rss" parse_list="y"}
From the instructions:
parse_list - (y/n) If set to ‘y’, it will only look for a list of URLs separated by commas or line breaks and will not parse out links. If set to ‘n’ (default), it will look through tag’s data looking for all links using the rel=”enclosure” attribute.
As the default is “n”, you need to set to “y” as you’re giving it an MP3 link.
hmm, will try that.
the documentation reads as though parse_list=yes is only required for list of multiple links
When set to “n”, the plugin looks through a chunk of text… e.g.
The quick brown fox jumped.
Whereas with “y” it’s looking for standalone URLs, even just 1 in a list.
yuk.
that results in an ugly error:
Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set in /home/mysite/public_html/system/plugins/pi.feed_enclosures.php on line 267eta- edited path
I’m no expert, but that looks like a server configuration that doesn’t fit with feed_enclosures.
Yep, looking through the forums found this thread: problem with enclosures in rss feeds
Ditto- I’d talk to the host on this one- let them know the error you’re getting. Tweaking a server setting may get you squared away. Let us know how that one goes.
Yep, support ticket submitted.
Unfortunately, the client didn’t choose enginehosting, so I’m still waiting.
Tick. tock.
Who is the host- and can you check if safe_mode is on? Might be possible to override via htaccess or something- if waiting is a pain. Which it always is 😉
