Mint Forum

I’ve worked out what was causing the problems…. it was all issues with namespaces, and using include() within a function - variables defined within that function wouldn’t become global. I’ve fixed it all up now, and my plugin appears to be working (I will make it publicly available soon). My RSS2 feed has the following style of URLs in the tags:

http://mydomain.com/feeder/?FeederAction=clicked&feed=Posts+%28RSS2%29&seed=http%3A%2F%2Fmydomain.com%2F2009%2F03%2Fhello-world%2F&seed_title=Hello+world%21

Feeds are showing up in the Bird Feeder pepper, but even after updating my RSS reader and clicking through to my posts, nothing is showing up in Seeds.

Is there something wrong with the URL above? Has it been borked in the templating process? Shouldn’t the Seeds pane be getting data every time I (or someone else) clicks through to an article from my RSS feed?

Well that’s weird. After launching the site, I now have a hit in my Seeds Pane - no matter what I do on my own computer, nothing will show up there, even though I don’t have Mint set to ignore my own computer’s stats.

Does Bird Feeder somehow ignore “your” computer for Seeds using cookies or something?

As I said, I had “Ignore my visits” turned off, so I would’ve thought that clicking through in NetNewsWire would add hits to my Seeds. Anyway, I am getting hits from other people, but when I check it myself I get nothing. Strange.

Whatever’s going on, I don’t think it’s anything to do with my plugin, which I’ll make freely available soon on http://forgecode.net/.

No, I haven’t really poked around in /mint/config/ so no. How do I ignore myself by IP in auto.php? Do you have to add your own conditional statements to decide whether Mint should be used or not?

Hi guys,

Any progress on the plugin? WordPress 2.8 seems to have broken the old birdfeeder plugin.

Thanks, lance_
