Tiny Tiny Rss Update

Two days after I installed Tiny Tiny RSS (ttrss) v1.7.2 was released a new version of it 1.7.4. Thats great!

To be able to install Update from preferences are some fixes in config.php required. Maybe its only my problem!?; but my updater was not active.

1

define('PLUGINS', 'auth_remote, auth_internal, note');

Add a Updater plugin:

1

define('PLUGINS', 'auth_remote, auth_internal, note, updater');

Reload your preferences page (first tab), and you will see update section:

This methode still not work for me. After clicking on update I was able a see only a empty field =(
So I decided to stop wasting my time with debugging and started with command line Update. Which was more successful :-)

Very simple

This time was used a auto updated from preferences:

UPDATE 14.05.2013
Update to target version: 1.7.9 – Changelog
Migrating feed icons…
Done; 113 files copied
Upgrade completed.

Very nice! After some config.php fixes it still works after update :-)

“FEED_CRYPT_KEY should be exactly 24 characters in length.”
“FEED_CRYPT_KEY requires mcrypt functions which are not found.”
“Required configuration file parameter SMTP_SERVER is not defined in config.php. You might need to copy it from config.php-dist.”
“Required configuration file parameter FEED_CRYPT_KEY is not defined in config.php. You might need to copy it from config.php-dist.”

Some CSS stuff in new version is really terrible like 14px font size and title size, was changed by me to lovely 12px.

UPDATE 03.07.2013 to Tiny Tiny RSS v1.8
Target version 1.8 see Changelog

Feed-Icons migration works perfect:

UPDATE 05.10.2013 to Tiny Tiny RSS v1.10
Changelog
Improve compatibility with feeds containing invalid UTF-8 entities
Fix category filters set to Uncategorized applying to all feeds
Other bugfixes

Your Tiny Tiny RSS database needs update to the latest version: 121 to 123.

UPDATE 03.01.2014 to Tiny Tiny RSS v1.11

Required configuration file parameter DETECT_ARTICLE_LANGUAGE is not defined in config.php.
You might need to copy it from config.php-dist.

So after a diff add folowing to config.php:

1
2
3
4
5

define('DETECT_ARTICLE_LANGUAGE', true);
// Detect article language when updating feeds, presently this is only
// used for hyphenation. This may increase amount of CPU time used by 
// update processes, disable if necessary (i.e. you are being billed
// for CPU time).

As usually the same problem with my lovely CSS, I think I should spend some time to fix this behavior for the rest of time
