[SOLVED] RSS feeds plugin doesn't seem to load

[randac56]

Hi guys. I'm having a problem which I'm unable to resolve. I'm relatively new to Linux although I have been studying pretty hard the past few days.

I have an rTorrent+ruTorrent setup running on Wheezy (The Raspberry Pi version of Debian).

Everything works fantastically. rTorrent works, Apache2 works, PHP works (or so it seems, ruTorrent works and everything starts at boot perfectly.
All plugins I have tried work too. I just place them in the /var/www/rutorrent/plugins folder, reload the page, and that's that.

However, the one plugin I really want (and the reason I chose rTorrent as my torrent client) I can't get to show up. The RSS feeds plugin is far as I can tell installed the exact same way as most other plugins.

I never get the RSS feed button in the toolbar or the RSS item in the sidebar. The funny thing is though that under the Plugins overview in ruTorrent version 3.5 of feeds is loaded and enabled at launch. So why in the world doesn't it show up like any other plugin? It boggles my mind.

Things I have done so far:

• I have restarted rTorrent, apache and the whole OS many times.
• I have copied added "[rss] enabled = yes" to the default plugins.ini and to every other for all my users
• I cleared the cache and tried the same thing on another PC, using a different browser, on a different network.
• I have re-downloaded and reinstalled the RSS feeds plugin.
• I got rTorrent to launch with plugins

... all without success.

I'm don't know what else to check or do. This one is driving me insane.

Thanks for the help!

1) Check 'canChange*' values in the plugins.ini. http://code.google.com/p/rutorrent/wiki/Plugins?wl=en#plugins.ini
2) Check ruTorrent log messages at the start

Thanks for the help!

The plugin.ini file for every user (and the default in rutorrent/config) is as follows. I don't see anything wrong with it.

Code:
;; Plugins' permissions.
;; If flag is not found in plugin section, corresponding flag from "default" section is used.
;; If flag is not found in "default" section, it is assumed to be "yes".
;;
;; For setting individual plugin permissions you must write something like that:
;;
;; [ratio]
;; enabled = yes ;; also may be "user-defined", in this case user can control plugin's state from UI
;; canChangeToolbar = yes
;; canChangeMenu = yes
;; canChangeOptions = no
;; canChangeTabs = yes
;; canChangeColumns = yes
;; canChangeStatusBar = yes
;; canChangeCategory = yes
;; canBeShutdowned = yes

[default]
enabled = yes
canChangeToolbar = yes
canChangeMenu = yes
canChangeOptions = yes
canChangeTabs = yes
canChangeColumns = yes
canChangeStatusBar = yes
canChangeCategory = yes
canBeShutdowned = yes

[rss]
enabled = yes
canChangeToolbar = yes
canChangeMenu = yes
canChangeOptions = yes
canChangeTabs = yes
canChangeColumns = yes
canChangeStatusBar = yes
canChangeCategory = yes
canBeShutdowned = yes

[feeds]
enabled = yes
canChangeToolbar = yes
canChangeMenu = yes
canChangeOptions = yes
canChangeTabs = yes
canChangeColumns = yes
canChangeStatusBar = yes
canChangeCategory = yes
canBeShutdowned = yes

I refered here both to the plugin 'rss' as well as 'feeds'. That's because the documentation refers to the RSS feeds plugin as 'rss' but the real plugin name seems to be 'feeds'.

The only log event in ruTorrent is
Code:
[21.12.2012 11:20:04] WebUI started.

Attach screenshot of the full ruTorrent window (include ruTorrent status bar and browser title) with a opened 'plugins' tab.

Here you go...

1) 'RSS' - is a one plugin. You haven't it.
'Feeds' - is a another. You can read about it in the russian part of the project's wiki.
2) Current version of the ruTorrent is a 3.5.
3) If you use 3.4 - then you must use official plugins for 3.4. Does'nt for 3.3. Does'nt for 3.5. For 3.4 only.

Thanks lisa!

A simple upgrade did the trick. I can't believe it was that stupid.
I installed ruTorrent at first using a script for Wheezy. Unfortunately I didn't check it was the latest version.

Thank you so much for the help.
