News feed from Google News RSS dont work anymore #1384

Open ghost opened 10 years ago

ghost commented 10 years ago

Hi, I have some installations that are running older versions where the news feed rss stopped working. But I upgraded one to the latest version 2.7.3 the issue still exists.

2.7.3 - http://jalmap.in/

Which shows news feed from older time when it worked fine. After upgrade: the following feed - https://news.google.com/news/feeds?pz=1&cf=all&ned=in&hl=en&q=water+sanitation+india&cf=all&output=rss

gives appropriate output when you enter the URL in the browser, but when I enter it in Ushahidi and click "refresh news feeds" it just pulls in random news items from google news, while on the browser it displays appropriate items in the news rss results.

Looking at an old deployment http://powercuts.in the news feeds stopped working in Jan 2014?

Older version: http://load.shedding.in/delhi/
