syndicated knowledge issues

Followed instructions, put up page, all it does is display sample data, checked and re-checked settings. Never pulls data from live public KB.

Thanks

I worked with @wposner to squash the bug that was causing this problem (thanks, Bill).  An updated version of the Syndicated Knowledge app is now live on AppExchange - http://sites.force.com/appexchange/listingDetail?listingId=a0N30000003IsNeEAK

Thank you, but that is not the issue I am having. Public database is up and accesable, it's the Syndicated Knowledge app that's not working correctly.

Thanks for the suggestion!!!

This is the code that is spit out of the program and supposedly we just copy and paste:

 

<script> 
<!--
/**
 * Builds an unordered list from the JSON feed entries of articles.
 * Adapted from Google Code: http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/samples/base_sample.html
 **/
function listEntries(feed) {
  // Clear any information displayed under the "syndicatedknowledge" div.
  removeOldResults()
 
  // Transform the JSON results: each article becomes an element in an unordered list of links.
  if (feed.Articles == 0) {
    var ul = document.createElement("p");
    var txt = document.createTextNode("Search returned no articles");
    ul.appendChild(txt);
  } 
  var ul = document.createElement("ul");
  for (var i = 0; i < feed.Articles.length; ++i) {
    var article = feed.Articles[i];
    var li = document.createElement("li");
    var txt = document.createTextNode(article.Title);
    var a = document.createElement("a");
    a.href = feed.kbBaseURL + article.URLName;
    a.appendChild(txt);
    li.appendChild(a);
    ul.appendChild(li);
  }
  document.getElementById("syndicatedknowledge").appendChild(ul);
}
 
/**
 * Adds a JSON script element which queries the public Knoweldgebase and calls the call-back function.
 **/
function search(query) {
  removeOldJSONScriptNodes();
  removeOldResults()
 
  // Show a "Searching..." indicator.
  var div = document.getElementById('syndicatedknowledge');
  var p = document.createElement('p');
  p.appendChild(document.createTextNode('Searching Knowledgebase...'));
  div.appendChild(p);
 
  // Add a script element with the src as the knowledge JSON query. 
  // The callback funtion is specified as a URI argument.
  var scriptElement = document.createElement("script");
  scriptElement.setAttribute("type", "text/javascript");
  scriptElement.setAttribute("src", "/SyndicatedKnowledgeJSONP?s=" + escape(query.s.value) + "&n=" + 10 + "&callback=listEntries");
  
  document.documentElement.firstChild.appendChild(scriptElement);
}
 
/**
 * Similar JSON loading function, but for the initial search on load
 **/
function initialSearch(initialText) {
  var scriptElement = document.createElement("script");
  scriptElement.setAttribute("type", "text/javascript");
  scriptElement.setAttribute("src", "http://syndicatedknowledge-developer-edition.na3.force.com/SyndicatedKnowledgeJSONP?s=" + initialText + "&n=" + 10 + "&callback=listEntries");  
  document.documentElement.firstChild.appendChild(scriptElement);
}
 
/**
 * Deletes any old script elements which have been created by previous calls to search().
 **/
function removeOldJSONScriptNodes() {
  var jsonScript = document.getElementById("jsonScript");
  if (jsonScript) { jsonScript.parentNode.removeChild(jsonScript); }
}
 
/**
 * Deletes pre-existing children of the syndicatedknowledge div from the page. 
 * This may contain a "Searching..." message, or previous results.
 **/
function removeOldResults() {
  var div = document.getElementById("syndicatedknowledge");
  if (div.firstChild) { div.removeChild(div.firstChild); }
}
//-->
</script> 

 If you take the URL that is in the code "  http://syndicatedknowledge-developer-edition.na3.force.com/SyndicatedKnowledgeJSONP?s= "

and place in browser,, you get this back:

})
