In the OMPL editor, Tool catalog doesn't do anything. I know it reads a "Fat Page" from http://static.opml.org/opmlEditor/tools.fttb, but looking at the source there I see a path to Dave's hard drive, which I'm guessing is not correct. Advice?

FYI, when I click on "scan" and then the "scan now" button, I get a "500 Server Error Can't call the script because the name "redirect" hasn't been defined."
However, when I finally did get around to relaunching, it looks like news is flowing in okay on the home page.

500 Server Error
Can't target "prefs" because it doesn't specify a window.
I've released a fix for that -- to get the change, choose Update opml.root from the File menu, and then re-install river2.root.
Also I fixed the redirecting problem you reported. If you want to be sure you have the fix: 1. Bring river2.root to the front. 2. Choose Update front root from the Tools menu.
However it will automatically get the update next time it does a scan.

I might be missing something obvious, but I don't see an obvious way to get to the river2 page of news from the OPML editor.
The River2 menu says "scan, subscribe, import opml, am I net accessable", but there's no equivalent of NewsRiver's "view news". I think that would simply take me to http://127.0.0.1:5337/river2/index (or whatever the locally configured port would be).
dave

I'll deal with all these issues tomorrow morning first thing.
There were indeed loose-ends. This one in particular is there because I have a bookmarklet that opens the home page from within the browser toolbar. But I can easily add a command to the River2 sub-menu of the Tools menu. First thing tomorrow.
Thanks for testing this out Ed and everyone else who's using it. :-)

Thanks Dave.
As for testing it, I'm an inch (and a software install) away from putting it into "production" (whatever that means these days) to watch the news stream past at AnnArbor.com .
There's an awkward bit of workflow if you're repeatedly rescanning the feed by hand; you click the "scan" at the top, and then a second "scan" button on its own page before going back to the original page. I am sure there is some plausible mechanism to make the page feel like it's steadily updating without surplus extra clicks, though I'll reserve judgment on what that might be. A little piece of me just wants to hit "refresh" and have the page never be the same twice.

I have downloaded the opml/river2 editor but still not sure if it is working as intended. Is OPML.exe intended as a type of backend server for a browser based river of news front-end? I can see the river of news in the browser but not in opml.exe. I am not sure if that is as intended. A short video that covers the most common use case would be helpful. Thanks for releasing the code Dave!

Jim, you got it -- that's exactly as it's supposed to work. OPML is a web server, and it's doing the work and the result is displayed in the browser.

When feed titles don't show up in the feed list ( /river2/subscriptions ) is that a problem with my opml? the feed itself? river2?

It's a problem with the feed. And the feed is good, otherwise it would have given you an error when you subscribed, just that the title is empty. (Title is a required element.)

I would like to give this software a try if I could get it to run on my Mac (Snow Leopard).

If you are on a Mac and getting the same errors, either run the OPML editor under a non-administrator account, or install the OPML editor under your /Users/username/Applications directory. The OPML editor cannot write to it's own directory if you are logged in as an administrator and you have installed the OPML editor under /Applications.
Still, I can't find any explanation as to why Dave's local path is hard coded into the application ("HD:Users:davewiner:Documents:OPML Ship Shop:OPML:Guest Databases:www"). I can't think of a good reason for this; perhaps its a bug.

It's one of the next items on my list. I don't know about Facebook, but I could do Twitter or FriendFeed. I have glue for both. Also Identica. Maybe a few others.
There is a bug there, but not the one you're reporting. :-)
1. The link to the top level of Preferences shouldn't be there in the Prefs page for River2. I'll push an update shortly that will make it go away.
2. The way to get to the OPML Editor-level prefs is to choose the Preferences command from the Misc menu in the app. If you go in through that route everything should work. :-)

I am going through 'Misc' -> 'Preferences...' and every link on the 'typical' OPML Editor pref's page 'looks OK' yet each link is 'river2/pref....
Then please give me step by step instructions on how to reproduce the problem, because I'm not seeing it here. You're only giving me a vague hint of how you got to this place. Can't fix it if I can't make it happen here.
(In the last pic you can see the URL in the status bar is showing 'river2' rather than 'opmlEditor'

Why did you right click on the Bookmarks menu and what does "(editable text)" mean.
Netweb

The text is automatically generated by the sceenshot program I am using which I cut and pasted for each pic.
The right click on 'bookmarks' was to ensure that the link in the status bar was showing the link my mouse was hovering over which then caused the screen clipping program to take another screenshot for me.
This is also a clean install of the editior as I have been taking screenshots from start to finish on setting up the OPML Editor in Windows 7 to do an updated 'howto' for others having issues with Vista/Windows7 and installing river2/rssCloud etc - Building on from http://howto.opml.org/stephen/Windows-XP-OPML-E...
dave

Okay -- those steps aren't reproducing it for me here.
Let's see if anyone else is having the problem, maybe they can provide another way to reproduce.
Also, aren't you a Frontier guy? If so, maybe you could look a little deeper and see if you can spot the problem by looking inside the app. The script that implements the Preferences command is at opmlEditor.menuCommands.openPrefs.

I just installed another fresh OPML install this time on my main Windows 7 x64 machine (The one listed above is Windows 7 x86 Virtual Machine) and once I installed river2 I get the same behavior.
ps. The account I am using for all this testing is @OPMLSH and my 'normal account is @StephenEdgar and thats why I tweeted before asking you to follow @opmlsh so I can get that account also 'Cloud Enabled' for more testing etc.
I am digging around the OPML Editor pref's now (need to change Amazon S3 Bucket locations and add in my custom settings and will try (to the best of my skills :P) to see what may be causing the 'redirect' on the 'prefs' after installing river2.

I did a fresh install and found the problem and believe I fixed it.
I am getting the same for both of my OPML Editor installs, I have double checked both packages for the updates you released for River2 (Specifically 00096.part & 00097.part) and manually 'Updated Front Tool' for both opml.root & river2.root
Guys -- that's not a problem -- that's where you're *supposed* to go. Edit the prefs.
Netweb
· 3 months ago
jacopogio,
The settings are the same on either page and do what they are supposed to do. After a setting change you just need to manually navigate back to http://127.0.0.1:5337/river2/ or open River2 from the menu's in the OPML Editor.
With the current amount of updates of the tools Dave is writing 'typically' all settings are usually changed from the page you are seeing at the moment including OPML Editor initial setup parameters etc.
Basically the river2 pref's were being overlayed into the river2 pages but this was causing some issues with other tools so now all the preferences will happen in a single place.
Cheers,
Stephen

I get this error after installing (from After Installing point 1 above).
I'm not sure what Matt and Wordpress.com team has been thinking but supporting a feature which is only supported by one tool (which is way too complicated anyway) is a waste of time. Unless Google Reader supports this technology, I'm not sure what good a real-time do for an average user.
So how do I get this running on Linux? I already have XAMPP running. Seems like it should be simple, but I'm missing the clues.

A problem I noted with exporting my Google reader subscriptions and importing them into River2.
If you have tagged a subscription in GR, then the OPML created by the export has <outline ... > data for that subscription is stored WITHIN a higher order <outline> </outline> container - see below for a subset.....
When this is imported into River2, while it doesn't crash and burn, the 'sub outlines' y don't get loaded as feeds - I THINK River2 is just not expecting an <outline> within another <outline> container.
If you can upload the OPML that caused problems or send it to me via email I can try to fix the problem.
It's true that we're looking for a flat list. Should be easy to allow for a structured list.

Bug report: on getUserFolder () fails during setup.
All my computers are set up with a separate Work drive and the home folders for all users except an emergency admin account live on the Work drive and not in the /Users folder, making the path "/Volumes/Work/username/" to reach them.
Since anyone can change their default home path using the right-click "Advanced Options" contextual menu (10.5/10.6) or using NetInfo Manager (10.4 or lower) something more robust might be called for?
EDIT: OK, this works. Just bypass the cruft and access the path directly from Applescript. :)
on getUserFolder() local (folder = pc + string.nthField (sys.unixShellCommand ("osascript -e 'get path to home folder as string'"), ' ', 1)) return folder
An example return value from this is: :Work:username:
EDIT2: ARGH! Not working quite right. I see that now my Podcasts folder in Prefs is default listed as:
But at any rate the above UNIX command will always get the right home folder. Obviously I don't know enough about the code to apply fixes from there... :(

I've installed River2 on a second windows 7 pc and am having more success. The html rss feed are working well
I'm confused by the podcasting and how to trigger a download to my podcatcher folder.

"eg Enclosure Downloaded an enclosure from NPR: 7AM ET News Summary Podcast to a local file (2.4MB). 11:06:15 AM 3.483"

I have used the Scan option and existed River2 and restared the pc but none of these things make a difference.
Don't think river2 is backing up on Windows. Can't seem to find where it is holding the feeds and I can't find river2Subscriptions.opml any where (did a scan of C:).

And, for those sitting behind a firewall / on a NAT'd network, is there a cookbook approach to opening it up so as to make use of RSSCloud?

Finally, kudos and best wishes on the rssCloud extension to RSS but be prepared to have the results of your work vandalized by the scumbags Sam Ruby et al. whose p.o.s. feedvalidator.org vandalize well-formed and valid XML in RSS web feeds marking them up as invalid or not well formed as the p.o.s. validator does having corrupted the use of RSS by imposing ATOM links into RSS feeds in a manner which conflicts with RSS in the channel elements which results in ignorant people being misled by the scum of the web to misbelieve there is something wrong with the RSS feed when there is not.
500 Server Error
Can't find a sub-table named "http://feeds.guardian.co.uk/theguardian/rss".
If you have tagged a subscription in GR, then the OPML created by the export has <outline ... > data for that subscription is stored WITHIN a higher order <outline> </outline> container - see below for a subset.....
When this is imported into River2, while it doesn't crash and burn, the 'sub outlines' y don't get loaded as feeds - I THINK River2 is just not expecting an <outline> within another <outline> container.

can try to fix the problem.
It's true that we're looking for a flat list. Should be easy to allow for a
structured list.

All my computers are set up with a separate Work drive and the home folders for all users except an emergency admin account live on the Work drive and not in the /Users folder, making the path "/Volumes/Work/username/" to reach them.
Since anyone can change their default home path using the right-click "Advanced Options" contextual menu (10.5/10.6) or using NetInfo Manager (10.4 or lower) something more robust might be called for?
EDIT: OK, this works. Just bypass the cruft and access the path directly from Applescript. :)
on getUserFolder()
local (folder = pc + string.nthField (sys.unixShellCommand ("osascript -e 'get path to home folder as string'"), ' ', 1))
return folder
An example return value from this is:
:Work:username:
EDIT2: ARGH! Not working quite right. I see that now my Podcasts folder in Prefs is default listed as:
Startup:Applications:OPML:Work:username: Desktop:Podcasts
or something similar.
But at any rate the above UNIX command will always get the right home folder. Obviously I don't know enough about the code to apply fixes from there... :(
The html rss feed are working well
When I go to http://127.0.0.1:5337/opmlEditor/catalog
I have only installed river2. (This was following advice to stick to the newer river2 stuff).
I'm confused by the podcasting and how to trigger a download to my podcatcher folder.
I have subscribed to the feeds but no mp3 files have downloaded (except the 2 from from NPR 7AM ET News Summary Podcast).
"eg Enclosure Downloaded an enclosure from NPR: 7AM ET News Summary Podcast to a local file (2.4MB). 11:06:15 AM 3.483"

I have used the Scan option and existed River2 and restared the pc but none of these things make a difference.
Do I need to install podcaster module?
http://127.0.0.1:5337/opmlEditor/catalog
I've gone through the preferences and didn't see anything there that might cause this.
Related (or not): I tried to import an OPML of my Twitter friends and River2 looks to have only loaded about 50 of them (according to Feeds page).
Any ideas?
Let it run for a while, and the error will probably clear.
And it takes a while to load all your OPML -- it's reading all the feeds.

I am working to get my mac desktop setup again with river2 similar to how I had it with Flickrfan:
http://www.robotthoughts.com/how-tos/2008/01/fl...
http://river2.org/2009/12/16/river2-catches-pic...
It was an easy feature to add. :-)
loose-end that needed closing off.
