Can FNReader example be run on 5800 XM?

[hgohel]

The FNReader WRT example seems interesting. The readme says quite clearly that the online/offline API works only on the N97, but also states that it can be run on "in other mobile devices supporting WRT widgets." On the 5800, when I launch it, I get this error:

Script alert:
widget was not inited correctly:
TypeError: value undefined (result of expression widget.setNavigationType) is not object.

Then I click OK, and it takes me to blank screen with just Options/Exit as my choices, and I can do nothing but exit. Anyone suggestions on how get this to work? I'm not up to speed on WRT yet...just testing the waters.

Thank you for pointing this out.

You will need to replace one line in the init() -function.

Replace:
widget.setNavigationType('tabbed'); //supported only by devices running 7.1 browser

With:
widget.setNavigationEnabled(false); //old way to do it

After this change it will work on 5800 as well.

Ps.

Hello Ilkka,

The change you mentioned did the trick! The example now runs on the 5800. If anyone else wants to make the change, the file to edit is FNReaderWidget\script\RSSReader.js

There is what appears to be a bug with the sample feeds or with the reader example - the dates for entries is in the future - for "Qt for Maemo" entry, the date is something like January 30, 2010...I know some parts of the world are ahead of others, but this seems unlikely

There is what appears to be a bug with the sample feeds or with the reader example - the dates for entries is in the future - for "Qt for Maemo" entry, the date is something like January 30, 2010...I know some parts of the world are ahead of others, but this seems unlikely

OK, I found the bug that causes this - the clue was that the articles were one month off from the actual publish date on the web site, which led me to search for the date handling function and look for an off-by-one error.

In FeedUpdateBroker.js, see FeedUpdateBroker.prototype.getDateOfNode which returns the date as a Date object. There's a call to setFullYear() which is sent the arguments for year, month and date as integers. For some odd reason, the way the function is defined is that the month should be a number from 0-11 rather than what makes sense to everyone that the month should be 1-12.

I changed the arguments to subtract one from the month parameter, and now FNReader is reporting the correct date for the articles.
