Social Feed not Importing

Anonymous asked May 27, 2014

When I setup the JA Social Feed with new profiles and then go to the advanced tab to import from the social media profiles, I get this message when the page reloads:

Warning: DOMDocument::loadXML(): Start tag expected, ‘<‘ not found in Entity, line: 1 in /home/rvrealit/public_html/plugins/system/jasocial_feed/jasocial_feed.php on line 1443

I will try to upgrade but I just downloaded the JA Wall package a couple days ago, so I was assuming everything was up to date.

I will PM you the login credentials, I had turned the site offline until this gets fixed.

Ok I see why the user account details I provided didn’t work -- you can’t actually create a new users in the backend, the save buttons do not work ๐Ÿ™

So I manually created that same user account, you should be able to log into the backend now. If you have any problems let me know.

I see the problem on your site, please pm me FTP credentials of your site. I need to investigate directly on your site.

I sent you the FTP details yesterday -- any luck on this?

I really appreciate your assistance on this!

I just upgraded latest version on your site. For now, it’s working fine, please check it again, let me know if it helps

I see it working! Only problem I have noticed, the Instagram feed does not pull the date for the photo, so it’s always putting it last on my homepage feed (which is a problem). It’s show the same date for everything pulled from Instagram 31 December 1969

For now, I’ll check to see if there is a better sorting option for the latest one to be first (I don’t think there is a way to do this other than "Most Recent First" -- can this be fixed though?

You can have a look at the sample RSS from Instagram: http://widget.stagram.com/rss/n/webstagram and see that there is no info in pubDate option (publish date) and that’s reason why I could not get correct date on this case. Maybe we will wait for next the update from RSS of Instagram.

Gotchya, that makes sense, thanks for the explanation!

What file needs to be edited if I want to change the sort options to the ID instead of the options you have for the menu item itself? I know it’ll be a file hack but it’s the only way to truly display the articles by the latest one first.

I have another question -- when the social feed pulls in the post from one of the Social Media sites and creates the aritcle in Joomla, why isn’t the date/time at that point used for the date creation of the Joomla article?

You can change it via plugins/system/jasocial_feed/jasocial_feed.php file, try looking for fetchInstagramPost function

Line 822:

Change

Code:

$post['source_published_date'] = $dt->pubDate;

To

Code:

$post['source_published_date'] = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");

Let me know if it helps
