The Modx extension for SimplePie (
http://simplepie.org/) doesn’t allow any of its most useful features.
What I did was follow the instructions on the simplePie site and produce php code which I included in Modx as a snippet.
This worked fine until Evo 1.0.2 came out and the snippet suddenly stopped working and started showing the PHP code on the page. The problem seems to be that values are passed by reference rather than by value and this suddenly isn’t allowed. I’m assuming this is code within simplePie that is disagreeing with Modx. It all seems a bit bizarre as the output (returned values) itself is just text.
I wondered if someone had found a solution to this.
I had avoided installing the latest versions of Evo for this very reason but almost per-force a security breach (not in modx I don’t think so anyhow) meant that we should tighten everything up.
