Hi,

I'm trying to integrate a RSS-Feed of a blog on my Site, running Silverstripe 3.0.2 with the actual blog module from github. But the RSSWidget in code/widgets uses the deprecated DataObjectSet in the function getFeedItems() so it doesn't work.

	function getFeedItems() {
			$output = new DataObjectSet();

			// Protection against infinite loops when an RSS widget pointing to this page is added to this page 
			if(stristr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'SimplePie')) { 
				return $output;
			}

			include_once(Director::getAbsFile(SAPPHIRE_DIR . '/thirdparty/simplepie/simplepie.inc'));

			$t1 = microtime(true);
			$feed = new SimplePie($this->AbsoluteRssUrl, TEMP_FOLDER);
			$feed->init();
			if($items = $feed->get_items(0, $this->NumberToShow)) {
				foreach($items as $item) {

					// Cast the Date
					$date = new Date('Date');
					$date->setValue($item->get_date());

					// Cast the Title
					$title = new Text('Title');
					$title->setValue($item->get_title());

					$output->push(new ArrayData(array(
						'Title' => $title,
						'Date' => $date,
						'Link' => $item->get_link()
					)));
				}
				return $output;
			}
		
	}

I tried changing to ArrayList but without success.

Is there an update of this widget to be expected?

Thank you for any help.

No suggestions from anyone?

You may wish to add this as an issue on the github account - https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-blog/issues. That way the developers will be notified of the problem. Better yet, submit a pull request to solve the issue. I would imagine all you need to do is swap it for ArrayList as you said, what was the next error you got?

thanks for your answer, Willr. Turns out the next error has been a problem with the widgetArea which I have solved since.
Swapping DataObjectSet to ArrayList in RSSWidget.php works fine now. Issue solved.

Joko, how did you manages to solve this? I got some nasty errors from simplepie when using code based on RSSWidget.php (wanted to create new RSS-feed from external source). I changed the DataObjectSet to ArrayList, but got "deprecated" error notice. Did you change anything else on the code?
