RSS News Feeds And XML-XSL Dotnetnuke Module

RSS News Feeds And XML-XSL Dotnetnuke Module

<trust level="Full" originUrl=""/>I faced error while setting up the RSS feed in the Dotnetnuke's News Feeds RSS Module. It display following error:

Could Not Connect To [[URL]]. You Should Verify The Source Address Is Valid And That Your Hosting Provider Has Configured Their Proxy Server Settings Correctly.

After researching in various forum, I figured that News Feeds RSS Module requires trust level either HIGH or FULL. It does not works well with medium trust level. So it requires a change in the web.config file as bellow.

<trust level="Medium" originUrl=".*" />
TO
<trust level="High" originUrl=""/>
OR <trust level="Full" originUrl=""/>

I decided not to change this setting and use another module that comes with Dotnetnuke. I used the XML/XSL module to resolve this issue. It gives the same result. Yes I had to copy the XSL file from the News Feeds RSS module folder.

If you planning to edit the XSL then use this article. It has sample XSL file too which you can download and use directly in your application.

I able to download it from from MSDN & also got the key. What I heard from others is:

Look is much like Linux. This was surprising but Microsoft hired many Linux developer in past so it make sense. – Thanks John M for sharing this info.

As Microsoft extended the support for Windows XP, looks like they are trying to release Windows 7 before Windows XP support expires.
