Bug Description

Binary package hint: kdepim-kde4

Package: akregator-kde4 4:4.1.0-0ubuntu1~hardy1~ppa2 / KDE 4.1 from http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/

Akregator/KDE4 provides configuration options for "online reader synchronization" without any function. Inserting login details works, but the dialog won't get closed by click on "OK".

Neither there is an "sync" option in the feeds menu as seen in KDE Commit-Digest Issue 101.

In Intrepid the -kde4 suffix of kde4 packages are being dropped. :-)

Got the same in intrepid. Set the login and password for google reader and the ok button doesn't do a thing ;)

I've got no official involvement in KDE, I'm just a user who happened to
notice both bugs and put in the link for reference, hopefully it'll be
sorted out soon.

I am using 9.04 testing version. Can you let me know when the fix would be available in updates? I am also facing the same issue.

I managed to compile and install the fixed version. Now I can click OK all right. Unfortunately, still nothing happens - no syncing is happening...

The OK button does work now but the actual online sync does not work for me either. Browsing around I noticed that the online account name and password are stored as plain text in akregator_feedsyncrc which makes me a little nervous. I deleted the file for now given that the online sync doesn't seem to work for me anyway.

Same here with the latest version...ok button works but no feeds are fetched....

I want to reopen the bug, as the fix did only solve the issue that the "Ok" button did not work, but online synchronization is still not working. I have filed a corresponding KDE bug report (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=189016) on this.

Version: (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS: Linux
Installed from: Ubuntu Packages

I want to use akregator 1.4.2 on KDE 4.2.2 and sync the feeds with Google reader, which it is supposed to support since some versions as far as I understand.

To activate the online synchronization, I tried "Settings -> Configure Akregator -> Online Readers -> Add". This opens up a dialog "Modify online Reader Account", where I can choose "Google Reader". I enter my credentials (with or without @googlemail.com) and click "Ok".
Since bug #167207 has been fixed, clicking the Ok button closes the dialog. Unfortunately, still nothing happens afterwards.

I would expect it to synchronize with the Google reader and to fetch the feeds I'm using there.

As far as I know, no public API for Google Reader has been released (yet). Although there are reverse-engineered projects, these are probably incomplete and the API that Google uses is subject to change.

Perhaps the code for the official Google Reader could be a help in this, since it uses the API:

The google reader plugin was disabled as it doesn't work and its maintainer did not respond. We hope to have Online reader support finally in 4.4, when switched to Akonadi (there is already experimental support for newsgator in it).
