GeoRSS Widget ATOM Feed

JoshuaKeller — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 20:58:57 GMT

I am attempting to use an ATOM feed with the 2.1 GeoRSS widget and I seem to be having some troubles. It displays the points correctly but I'm not able to get the title etc. to display, it just uses the widget title as the default. I know that the feed is good because I can recompile the Reading GeoRSS feeds from the ESRI sample and replace the Flickr URL with my feeds URL and that loads correctly, displaying all of the content and the title. Is there a difference in the config file for ATOM feeds or do I still just put the list of fields and title field? Is anyone else having this problem?

Thanks,
Josh

Do you have an example of your feed that you could share?

Joshua,
did you get it working? I encounter similar problems with my first attempt.
I validated my feed at http://cite.opengeospatial.org/test_engine/georss_validator

Sorry forgot to upload the Feed.

Had to rename it to .txt as upload didn't like .xml

Is there an answer to this? USGS is phasing out the xml feed. I am trying to use their new ATOM feed, the points display but I can't get the title, etc. to display. The URL I am using is this:
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/v1.0/summary/2.5_week.atom

The support for different GeoRSS feeds was improved a few .versions ago. What version are you using? Did you try with http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/atom/2.5/week ? It seems to work for me in version 3.5 at least.

Another think to keep in mind is that GeoRSS is also supported as a layer type (if you just want to show them on the map, and not have each item listed in the GeoRSS widget.

Bjorn,

I am using ESRI Flex 3.0 version. I have tried http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/atom/2.5/week and it still does not display the title, etc.

My georss config xml looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
    <source>http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/atom/2.5/week</source>
    <fields>
        <field name="updated" alias="Date"/>
    </fields>
    <titlefield>title</titlefield>
    <linkfield>link</linkfield>
    <refreshrate></refreshrate>
    <zoomscale>10000000</zoomscale>
</configuration>

jmar,

If this is the code you are using it looks like you are missing your initial <configuration> statement.
Also, don't know if it matters, but your field name = "updated" while I am using "description".
Your code also doesn't include encoding="utf-8"

Here is the code I am using and it works fine:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<source>http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/atom/2.5/week</source>
<fields>
<field name="description" alias="Date" />
</fields>
<titlefield>title</titlefield>
<linkfield>link</linkfield>
<refreshrate>300</refreshrate>
<zoomscale>10000000</zoomscale>
<symbols>
<picturemarkersymbol url="assets/images/imgs/disaster/earthquakeGraph.png" height="25" width="25"></picturemarkersymbol>
</symbols>
</configuration>

Hi Jeff,
   I was not able to get the new atom feed to list correctly either using the FlexViewer 3.0 compiled version.
   I upgraded this FlexViewer to 3.1 and used the below source and now it works perfect!
    <source>http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/atom/2.5/week</source>
Hope this helps,
Janie
