Custom dashboard feed (6 posts)

    I'm having issues getting my sitewide feed to show up on the bottom part of the dashboard.
    If I plunk in the feed of a single blog, it shows up.

    Now, in /wp-admin/index-extra.php, there's a line like this:

    if ( isset($rss->items) && 0 != count($rss->items) )

    which, if I read correctly, says if the feed is not zero, then count it and eventually display it.

    How can I force it to display anyway?

    http://feedvalidator.org says your wpmu-feed is not valid, but your single feed from your blog root is.

    It is safe, as far as I can tell to remove the line about

    <wfw:commentRss>
    from the plugin.

    Also, I find deleting and recreating the cache folder helps.

    I just tried your feed in my dashboard and no go.

    What's different? Your feed has tonnes of images. My feed doesn't display images.

    If I were to guess, the feed is parsing in the index-extras but it borks on an open image tag.

    I don't recall doctoring up my feed to hide images.(strip tags)

    Well, the part I'm looking to add it in the dashboard, is the below part - the one that usually shows the grey boxes with the blog title and the latest entry title, so the images shouldn't matter.

    (Edit: doh, stupid question...)

    And the fix didn't work for me. Still no go.

    I'm still running all of my feeds via feedburner. Only way I've been able to get them to take within wpmu on the dashboard.

    Strange. I've got my site wide feed in my dashboard, and it's fine. It isn't showing images but that's OK, they aren't needed in the dashboard anyway.

    Did you clear out the cache of the feeds from the database?

    After I changed mine from the default, I had to do that before it would work.

    Ran it thru feedburner. But a big DOH on the db cache.

    The feedburner one gives me double title, because (naturally) feedburner didn't add the author bit in there.
