Can manage feeds and folders on the ownCloud server (add, remove, move). User interface is inspired by the original Nokia N9 Feed Reader.

  • Remove feeds and folders
  • Rename feeds (since 1.8.1) and folders
  • Move feeds to different folders
  • Mark items as read or unread
  • Mark items as favourite (star) or remove them from favourites (unstar)
  • Background synchronization (since 1.3.0)
  • Sorting of news items
  • Translated into Chinese (China), Danish, Dutch, English, French, Finnish (partly), Galician, German, Greek (partly), Italian, Russian, Spanish and Swedish

Hi,

Thanks for this great app.

Also I have a bug report for you.

I have this https://www.gamingonlinux.com/article_rss.php rss channel and when I try to read currently latest entry "The Wine Development Release 1.7.43 Is Now Available" ocNews crashes.

PS. Do you accept bitcoins?

Hey,

thanks for reporting this issue. I will take a look into it tomorrow. If you have a Github account, please report it there too: https://github.com/Buschtrommel/ocNews/issues , but if you don't have an account, you don't have to create one only fort that.

And no, I never used bitcoins. :) Till now, only PayPal.

OCNews seems to have problems with OC7 (well, OC7 was published tonight - I expected a few Problems)

It comes up with "Host requires authentication"

Let us know if you need logs or something

Which version of the ownCloud News app are you using? There seems currently no official version available that supports ownCloud 7. (At least after upgrading my ownCloud instance to version 7, there is no News available in the apps manager).

Hmm. For me not. So I used a package from the stable 7 branch, as proposed here:
https://github.com/owncloud/news/issues/558

But I currently have an issue with installing it:

probably just a user-rights issue - i've installed the stable 7 branch package which works aswell (can'T mark as read though).

Did you set permissions after moving files to owncloud? (ubuntu/apache usually uses www-data:www-data)

Thu, 2014/07/24 - 16:37

Yes. I set them to the user used by openSUSE systems (wwwrun:www), like the rest of the ownCloud files. Also restarted apache several times.

Deleted news folder now and took the git version, which actually works better anyway. The Iphone app, which my girlfriend uses won't work as well...

Thank you for looking into it anyway

Have you tried a reinstallation of ownCloud? Maybe the problem occured, because you tried to use the installed News app when you upgraded your ownCloud instance. When I upgrade my ownCloud instance, I disabled all 3rd party apps and started then to use the git version.

I've even purged and reinstalled the whole thing!

The errors seem to be: (didn't give them attention, because notes sync works, contact sync as well)

FatalindexSymfony\Component\Routing\Exception\RouteNotFoundException: Route "contacts_index" does not exist.2014-07-29T19:05:27+00:00FatalindexSymfony\Component\Routing\Exception\RouteNotFoundException: Route "notes.page.index" does not exist.2014-07-29T19:05:24+00:00FatalindexSymfony\Component\Routing\Exception\RouteNotFoundException: Route "news.page.index" does not exist.2014-07-29T19:05:19+00:00

If you want, you can create a test account on your ownCloud instance for me and send me the login details to kontakt@buschmann23.de . I will then try to get some more information what happens internally in ocNews connecting to that instance.

I will try to solve this later today. Have now to watch how SC Paderborn will advance to 1. German Bundesliga... ;-)

Owncloud news works on serverside. I've installed python-requests as it's mentioned in the dependencies.
