How can I configure local feeds?

[slalaurette]

I have some local feeds that are in my computer in the form of .xml files. I have these after importing from QuiteRSS. They work for fetching the articles, but, when trying to open them, they don't work, because RSS Guard prepends "file:///" to the URL.

How can I solve this?

Hi. Can you give some screenshot of what exactly happens?

Hi. I checked your situation. In RSS Guard there are several related behaviors to your problem and they are very complex. I made some cosmetic fixes for other problems I found during trying your feed.

There cannot be any universal fix to make. RSS Guard automatically tries to resolve relative URLs of articles when feed is fetched and usually it works great for feeds posted in regular online URLs. In your case you need to apply this article filter below:

function filterMessage() {
  msg.url = "https://www.escritores.org/" + msg.url.replace("file:///", "");

  return MessageObject.Accept;
}

Simply go to "Article filters" dialog, create new filter and name it and paste this code into it. Then add checkbox to your feed and clean existing articles from the feed (or remove and re-add the feed beforehand). Then it should work.

Thank you so much! I will look into it.
