Question Enhanced Kunena RSS Feed

I have exactly the same problem as Nokumo. Running Joomla 1.5.14 and Kunena 1.5.6 with the latest version of your mod. Changing $selectCategories to false works perfectly fine but as soon as it's set to true, the resultant rss feed gives a "500 - View not found [name, type, prefix]: frontpage,raw,contentView" error. The website I have it on is www.collective-sentience.net

Sorry for my late reply on this. I am working on a fix and will have an answer for you shortly. For now, please set $selectCategories to false for now and your RSS feed should work

Could you try a couple things for me and see if these help?

1. Try changing your template to one of the default Joomla template (e.g. ja_purity) and see if the error happens then
2. Make sure your .htaccess file is in place and contains all of the correct Joomla code. This error has been reported when a .htaccess file is incomplete or missing
3. Set "selectCategories" to false at the top of the file. Right below that, add this code:
This will help me to debug it and then you can delete those lines once we get it working.

Great Job, thank you verry much!!!

But i have two problems.

1. I send you a PM! Please take a look to my forum. Here you see categorized. If i klick on the RSS-Icon, it´s no more categorized. It´s verry unclearly!

2. if i click "continune" than i get a Error-Page.

I have 2 images attached.

I have found a 'fix' that may help some of guys here. I had the same problem and noticed it appeared to be a problem in the URL generation. Long story short, changed my global Joomla configuration to YES for 'Search Engine Friendly URLS' (Global Configuration -> Site -> Search Engine Friendly URLS -> YES).

Magically the error page goes away .

Still doesn't help me though... with categories on or off I get an error in all RSS clients, Outlook's version of the error is:
"Outlook cannot process the RSS content from site.com/index.php/forum/fb_rss?func=fb_rss&no_html=1&all=true. The link may not point to a valid RSS source."

Anway, think my problem may be versioning... so will check this before posting more. Just thought you'd like to know a fix for the error page (while I still remember).

Thanks for the suggested fix - the SEF urls would make sense in resolving that error...

As far as your problem parsing the feed, could you give me a link to your site?

I got the same problems but when I changed "my global Joomla configuration to YES for 'Search Engine Friendly URLS' (Global Configuration -> Site -> Search Engine Friendly URLS -> YES)" - the error went away but the change of settings threw my template off for a loop! I only get the text version of my pages instead of my nice template - went to the Joomla support forum and discovered it was because of the config change in the SEO settings.

I also got the same Outlook error "The link may not point to a valid RSS source." I checked the path with validator.w3.org/feed/ and found out that the rss feed link keeps pointing to that page that says "This forum is open only to registered and logged-in users. If you are already registered, please log in first." I believe this make Outlook say that it's not a valid RSS Source. So I decided to let public be able to view the forum but register if they want to post anything and when I did, the RSS feed works - but this is not really what I want my forum to do because I don't want any public viewing yet I want to have the rss feed working, I wish there was another way, do you know of any?

Right now I have the settings to "No" on the search engine friendly urls and the $selectCategories to "false" and all is working but not what I want - sorry, just venting. Meanwhile I hope that a fix is available soon.

Thanks in advance for all the hard work in putting this enhanced kuena rss feed script together
