Unable to download all new feed items

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi... I'm having this weird problem.

When I add a new feed, give it a name, an URL, download dir, and check both the 
checkboxes (what 
I want is to download all the feed items), hit save and when I come back to see 
if everything was 
saved successfully, it turns out the Subscribe checkbox is unchecked and the 
Download Directory 
field is empty.

So... It seems I can't download all feed items automatically :-(

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
wes

What's the name & download directory?  Feed shouldn't matter, so we'll start 
there.

The download dir is just "/mnt/Samsung/Transmission/torrentfiles/"

I should mention that I restarted the NAS and the RSS extension was just gone 
and had to install it again.

Could it be something related to permissions or the fact that I changed the 
"Configuration directory" setting in 
Transmission settings?

Thanks

I re-installed it... and restarted the NAS... and the extension is gone again.

Don't know what's going on...

Sounds like you are using the full version (LiveCD) which means everything is 
written
to a RAM disk (unless you are using a USB stick or something to write the
configuration to.)  That means you will need to reinstall the extension every 
time
you reboot.  That's not a defect, just the way FreeNAS works.  If you are 
writing
your configuration to an external device, then you can install a boot script 
that
will reinstall the extension for you.  All the settings are saved as part of the
system configuration.

To automate the reinstall do the following:
1. In System|Advanced screen, select the Command Scripts tab
2. Click the plus sign (+) to add a new command script
3. Set the type to "PostInit"
4. In the command put "php /mnt/INSTALLDIR/install.php"
5. Click "Add"

That should automatically launch the install script whenever FreeNAS reboots. 
Changing the configuration directory for transmission has now affect on this
extension, it uses FreeNAS's configuration system to save its settings.

Hi, thanks for the response.

Actually... FreeNAS is installed on a partition disk... and all my settings 
remain after I reboot. Except for the RSS 
Extension.

The feeds I added are still there when I reinstall the RSS Extension.

I'm running from the LiveCD, so I created a command script to reinstall upon 
reboot. 
Feeds are there, but as the original post states, I can't save the Subscribe or 
Download Directory settings in the feed. I'm forced to filter on everything 
(using 
".*" as the filter) if I want to download everything in the feed.

Is it an embedded install or full install?  Full uses a ramdisk which would 
explain
why the extension doesn't appear on reboot.  I don't see why it wouldn't stick 
around
on embedded, but I don't use embedded so I'd need user feedback for that.

Either way, if it's not showing up, use the Command Script I supplied to 
reinstall
the extension on reboot.  I know the ccxstream extension tells users to setup a
command script either way, so it may not matter if you use full or embedded.

Okay the subscribe settings isn't currently working because of a mistake at 
Line 61
of rss_feed_edit.php (
http://code.google.com/p/freenas-rss-extension/source/browse/trunk/www/rss_feed_
edit.php#61
).  I'll get that fixed tonight.  And apparently somewhere in time I stopped 
saving
the directory for new feeds.  So those 2 settings are all my fault and will be 
fixed
tonight.
