Also had a problem with the set_cache_location …set mine to the following and it was working fine and not getting the spc not writable errors anymore….

$this->load->library(’simplepie’);
$this->simplepie->set_feed_url(‘http://feeds.haughin.com/haughin’);
$this->simplepie->set_cache_location($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].’/tmp/rss/’);
$this->simplepie->init();
$this->simplepie->handle_content_type();

Just make a folder called “tmp” in your root directory and give it writable permissions…

I had problems with set_cache_location as well. To make it work I had to use (for last.fm at least) ‘rss_cache_path’ => BASEPATH.’cache/rss/lastfm-rss-cache/’.

Thanks for the great libraries! Any recommendations on a good library to facilitate uploading to Flickr?

You should set the cache directory when calling the library:

$this->load->library('simplepie');
$this->simplepie->set_feed_url('http://feeds.haughin.com/haughin');
$this->simplepie->set_cache_location(APPPATH.'cache/rss');
$this->simplepie->init();
$this->simplepie->handle_content_type();

ONe other thing.. I am getting this error:

Severity: User Warning

Message: ./cache/107aba3281d2190bb8392cc495382c65.spc is not writeable

Filename: libraries/simplepie.php

Line Number: 1780

Where exactly is the cache directory supposed to be setup?

Dope! Why don’t you put these on the CodeIgniter forum? Or at least link to it….

Good work maintaining these libs.

BTW, you might want to add this at beginning of the each lib as good practice.
if (!defined(‘BASEPATH’)) exit(‘No direct script access allowed’);

[...] updates from Twitter to use in your CodeIgniter application. Looks like Elliot Haughin has more CodeIgniter libraries for Simplepie, Amazon S3, Flickr, and Lastfm. Tags: Amazon, CodeIgniter, flickr, last.fm, [...]

Nice work, but you should link Lastfm CodeIgniter Library on the Code page properly
