Question

I am using the JQuery Google Feed plugin (gFeed) to output an RSS feed. I’ve successfully used this alternative before, but unfortunately I’ve stumbled into a bit of a problem. The RSS feed refuses to output into the specified div. I have confirmed the feed https://www.phpbb.com/community/feed.php?mode=news displays correctly with Google Reader..

My site is http://removed/index and I also consulted the [Google Feed API developers page][3].

This is my code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
<!-- include this plugin -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.gfeed.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">


 // when the DOM is ready, convert the feed anchors into feed content
  $(document).ready(function() {
   // add a feed manually
    $('#feeds').gFeed({ 
       url: 'https://www.phpbb.com/community/feed.php?mode=news',
         title: 'A List Apart Feed (Added by Brute Force)'
     });    
    });
    </script>

     <div id="feeds">

     </div>

Answer 1

The JQuery gFeed plugin is quite old (2007) and it uses FeedControl which I believe was deprecated by Google.

I would recommend using the jquery-feeds plugin, and then using code like:

$('#feeds').feeds({
    feeds: {
        feed1: 'https://www.phpbb.com/community/feed.php?mode=news'
    }
});​

Fiddle here with a demo.
