Change #019. Fixed major bug on Feeds page

Posted: 12/31/07; 4:12:38 AM.

The ability to subscribe to an arbitrary feed was added late in the pre-public-beta period, and wasn't tested thoroughly enough. If you tried to subscribe to a feed that couldn't be processed, the Feeds page would break. Many apologies to the people who reported and experienced this bug. It's been fixed.

How to manually udate

FlickrFan will automatically get the updates at the top of the hour. If you can't wait till then to try it out, you can update manually as follows:

1. Bring the OPML app to the front.

2. In the WIndow menu choose photoFan.root, bringing that file to the front.

3. From the Tools menu, choose Update front tool.

If it worked, you should see a dialog like this.

It may take a minute to fix the database so the Feeds page correctly displays.

How to tell if you got the update

Now if you subscribe to a bad feed it should give you an error message in red, and proceed without any further problems.

Also, I bumped the version to 0.34, look in the top left corner of any page on the FlickrFan local website. If it says 0.34, you have the new code.

Again apologies for this programming error.
