I have a problem on a site using yahoo rss feed. i use http://news.search.yahoo.com/usns/ynsearch/categories/news_story_search_rss/index.html?p=keyword with the keyword changing with the searches on my site.
Nothing id displayed Anybody having the same problem ? |
The RSS file you link to looks fine to me. Could it be your server IP is banned because you request the file too much? In that case, I would write an email to Google, and also implement a caching system. |
I can now confirm the bug you see! I had to remove both my Yahoo RSS feeds from my news page. |
I had a client with this problem. The feed apparently had some embedded NULL characters in it. Sometimes. That confused the parser (Carp, in my case). Stripping the NULLs resolved my issues. |
Hi Leo, my Yahoo search RSS feeds have mostly died also. Did you actually dig into carpinc.php to fix Carp so it would strip these NULLs? I can't seem to get my carp to work with these Yahoo feeds anymore.

I'm using NuSOAP and MagpieRSS by the way. I removed the Yahoo RSS feeds from all of my sites. Too bad. |
The cause of this problem is that yahoo rss feeds are not valid. Check Yahoo feed source with a validator and you'll see... I use MagpieRSS and it stops parsing when an unknown caracter comes. |
Sounds like Yahoo pulled the plug. Too bad... |
Problem solved, thanks to Carp genius Antone Roundy. The best!
