CREATED ISSUE: Some Unicode characters rendered as question marks

smkowalczyk — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 13:43:34 GMT

The default SharePoint RSS seems to be UTF-8. I was having problems with some characters being rendered as question marks instead the correct character. I made a couple changes in to get this to work right for us.

RSSRenders.cs:
string rssText = System.Text.UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetString(rssBytes); //System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetString(rssBytes);

OOTBXSLT.xlst
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

CREATED ISSUE: Link URL does not always point to display page

smkowalczyk — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 13:51:29 GMT

I used SPRSS to point to a blog in SharePoint and the link to display page for the individual blog entries was different than list.RootFolder.Url + 'DispForm.aspx'. The URL that I needed to point to was '/Blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx', and I wasn't able to find an easy to get to this page from a SPList. What I did was add a 'DisplayPageUrl' to the query string to override the default link value in CleanRSS.aspx.

Thanks for this code. I was killing myself trying to parse data with XSLT directly from a SharePoint RSS feed, which concatonates all the fields I needed into a single CDATA section.

CREATED ISSUE: Problem with anonymous access

tegija — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 10:11:20 GMT

Everything works fine but if am using it with list (contacts list) with anonymous access, it asks password. I checked also the SPRSS directory rights and gave all rights, but this didn't help. It works if I use it with regular RSS.

CREATED ISSUE: Proxy Authentication Required

present — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 19:33:33 GMT

When SharePoint site uses Proxy, the web part throws error as below:
------------------------------------------------------------------
Feed not available at this time! Error message:
System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (407) Proxy Authentication Required.

Project Description
This project leverages the established standard of RSS 2.0, in allowing you to:

a) Expose SharePoint content in form of lists and document libraries as RSS. (Note: The out of the box RSS falls short on a few aspects, described elsewhere in the project description).
b) Expose SharePoint content, expressible as CAML queries, querying either a folder, or a list/doc lib, or an entire web app/site collection, as RSS.
c) Provides you with a webpart that aggregates any RSS Feed, and lets you specify any XSLT stylesheet to completely control the rendering of the content.

Example usecases:
1. Aggregate content between site collections, while impersonating as the logged in user ID.
2. Go to news.google.com, put in a keyword, and get the RSS Feed of the news search results.
3. Aggregating SharePoint content in non-SharePoint platforms.

etc.

RELEASED: SPRSS - Release 0.000001 Alpha (Mar 27, 2008)

Fri, 28 Mar 2008 02:32:37 GMT

I am releasing the .wsp first because figuring out codeplex is a like a 3 year old playing violin on your head all night long while his 7 year old sister is sticking chewing gum in your hair as you are trying to sleep because you have an early morning 7 AM meeting.

Eventually I'll figure out codeplex though. WTF!
