Mint Forum

Hi there,

i totally love mint (for a day now though g) and i’d like to install Birdfeeder on my WP Blog.

I’m kinda confused about the readme regarding WP as wp2.3 seems to have all the code in feed*.php files within wp-includes directory.

Do i still have to add the code to the wp-atom.php and stuff in the root? How about the feed name?

<?php
define('BIRDFEED', 'Feed Name');
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/feeder/index.php');
// WordPress users uncomment the following line
// $wpdb->select(DB_NAME);
?>

Where does the rest of the code have to go?

<?php $BirdFeeder->seed(get_the_title_rss(), get_permalink()); ?>

I read somewhere else in the forum that this code differs depending on the Feed format?

Can we probably hack together some new readme for the new WP version? Things seem to have kinda changed somehow.

Thanks for helping!

Thanks for pointing this out. Unfortunately the plugin also doesn’t seem to work. The feed contains an error after activating it:

<![CDATA[You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'SET feed_views = feed_views + 1
            , total = total + 0
            WHERE post_id IN (83' at line 2 on line: 453

anyone with an idea?

Hi, I have checked the code of BirdFeederWP. The erroneous line is not from my plugin.

Before activating BirdFeederWP please make sure that BirdFeeder (the Mint part) is installed correctly. Also check the configuration options of the BirdFeederWP plugin.

I also use WP 2.3.2. There shouldn’t be a problem. Maybe Shaun has a hint how to check the successful installation of BirdFeeder before using the WordPress plugin.

Thanx Shaun for this information. I should have known… I will add this to my README.TXT in order to make life easier for those running into problems.
