rss fails to update feeds

[Melissa Draper]

The lastupdate values in the database were all nulled with a recent update and hence now ignored by the rss cron job

    Fix the rss image exceptions preventing updating (Bug #1081431)

    Check the image data is a string (eg url) or array before
    proceeding, and set data to null if not.

    Serialising is the only way to check if a value can be unserialised
    so @ is suppressing the warnings thrown by non-unserialisable data.

    Prevent the issue happening in future installs, and fix current
    installs.

    Additional processing fixes for rss to avoid fatal errors (Bug #1081431)

    Checking for the datatypes returned, and catching exception caused
    by a previous exception object getting passed to the database,
    which adodb doesn't know what to do with, surprisingly enough.
    Making use of try to better handle failing record updates.

[Rocky YIP (rockyip-ied)]

I am using version 1.6.1 and having the same problem that cron.php does not update RSS feed.

I try to apply the fixes but RSS feed still cannot get updated.

Best Rgds,

Rocky.

Hi Rocky,

What is preventing the updating? Are there fatal errors in your apache error logs? I can't suggest anything without that information.
