[pmwiki-users] RSS mystery problem solved

Hi, folks. A few months back I reported that ?action=rss had
mysteriously stopped working on one of my wikis, and I wasn't sure what
change I had made to cause it to stop. I just discovered what it was: I
made it into a WikiFarm.
The line in config.php to turn on ?action=rss reads,
if ($action == 'rss') include_once('scripts/feeds.php'); # RSS 2.0
I wanted all the wikis in the farm to allow RSS, so I moved that line
from config.php to farmconfig.php. I didn't realize that, in doing so,
I needed to change the line to
if ($action == 'rss') include_once("$FarmD/scripts/feeds.php"); # RSS 2.0
The problem was immediately evident when I tried to use RSS on one of
the other farmed wikis, because it produced an error message. On the
host wiki it had produced just a blank screen, which had prevented me
(and other members of this list) from identifying the problem!
I'll add a PITS item recommending that the $FarmD notation be used in
the sample-config.php in the future, since it works with both single and
farmed wikis. --Ben
