Comments on: Optimal OPML Browser & WordPress Plugin http://yabfog.com/blog Yet another blog full of gas Tue, 13 Dec 2011 12:35:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Dan http://yabfog.com/blog/optimal/comment-page-2#comment-57513 Dan Thu, 04 Jun 2009 02:25:19 +0000 http://yabfog.com/wp/optimal/#comment-57513 Hi, Richard. Thanks for the feedback. I have no idea what's dropping core dumps -- Optimal is certainly not set up to do that, and the last time I saw a core dump of any kind was probably 5 years ago playing with a buggy Mandrake Linux beta. The only things I can suggest are: (1) make sure that neither PHP nor Apache (or whatever web server you're running) is compiled with a "debug" flag enabled, and (2) do check your httpd error logs and see if you can find any errors that coincide with the creation date/time of the core dump file. While Optimal could certainly use some work to more gracefully fail upon feed errors, I have never seen it crash and cause a core dump. Hi, Richard. Thanks for the feedback.

Richard Hobbs Wed, 03 Jun 2009 21:52:22 +0000 http://yabfog.com/wp/optimal/#comment-57511 I have the optimal plugin installed on my self-hosted WP installation and it seems to serve the intended purpose. look on my links page f usage /link-page/ One problem the past few months is that Optimal and / or Simple Pie are generating enormous .core files from feed errors and / discontinued feeds I am aggregating - I get disk warning messages from my host about once every two weeks - the .core files are always found in my wp-content/plugins/optimal folder. Am sure it would help if I went in and chk'd the error log and cleaned up dead feed links - any other insights? thx I have the optimal plugin installed on my self-hosted WP installation and it seems to serve the intended purpose. look on my links page f usage /link-page/

One problem the past few months is that Optimal and / or Simple Pie are generating enormous .core files from feed errors and / discontinued feeds I am aggregating - I get disk warning messages from my host about once every two weeks - the .core files are always found in my wp-content/plugins/optimal folder.

thx

I get the "Error reading XSL file" error! I used to have your plugin running on my blog, it was fine. i migrated my service to MediaTemple, and now I get this odd error! The instructions "There are four path values..." however I cannot properly figure out. I've modified those lines to fit what I think should be the proper variables, and then I just get an error in web-browser reporting some break on line 38. can't figure it out. can you be more specific with what those lines, ABSPATH, DOCUMENT_ROOT, url, etc. should be? love the live loading of xml documents inside the plugin by the way. very smart. thanks! hi! I've been bitten!

Installed 0.4c on my WP blog, works a treat. (Btw, my blog is running WP 2.5 and the plugin works fine). One thing I'd like to do but can't figure out how: on initial display, the plugin just shows a single line, the name of the OPML file. You then click on the little icon/arrow to expand the display to show the individual feed names within the OPML file. You can see it in place on my blog here: http://www.nevillehobson.com/connections/ That's great but I'd like the display to be all of that from the start. I think the switch is the 'depth' variable? Well, I've tried all sorts of numbers there, nothing happens. I guess I'm missing something. Would you let me know how I can do what I'd like to? thanks. Dan, a great plugin, thanks.
