Unable to add feed #465

Closed sullygirl closed 5 years ago

sullygirl commented 5 years ago

I've added a feed that is not showing up in brief. Please help!

Could you provide a few more details:

how did you add it,
do other feeds work for you (including marking as read and/or updating),
what's the problematic feed, if you can share that.

I tried clicking on the RSS link to no avail. I'm looking to follow certain Supreme Court cases, such as: https://www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?filename=/docket/docketfiles/html/public/18-1269.html Other feeds do work for me. Thanks for any help.

This is a duplicate of #462, already a known problem.

For now you can open the developer tools on the Brief tab with F12, open console and subscribe with a command like the following:

Database.addFeeds({url: "https://www.supremecourt.gov/rss/cases/18-1269.xml"})

where the address was copied by right-clicking the feed icon and choosing "Copy Link Location".

Duplicate of #462.

Forgive my inexperience - F12 doesn't open anything for me and I see no option in the Brief tab to add feeds. Is there a user manual somewhere?

This function is not documented, it's an internal one. Going from the Firefox menus, this is called Web Console and can be found in "Web Developer" or "Tools" - "Web Developer".
