Just change URL to your local server in: /app/code/core/Mage/AdminNotification/etc/config.xml

Ah yeah that sounds cleaner.. only thing is this bug prevents you from getting into the admin which was why i resorted to hacking the core.

But to totally prevent it in future that would work.

I just go in to System->Advanced and disable the Admin Notifications module. That fixes it for me.

OK this bug reared its head again.

To disable the feed get thing

As a quick and dirty fix I have used the following:

PHP:

in app/code/core/Mage/AdminNotification/Model/Feed.php

magento site is down right now and admin is still working so this bug is evidently fixed

Yes definitely happened, May well be fixed in the latest version. I never did get around to tracking down the problem.

Are sure? I can't seem to replicate working off 1.3.0.

In Mage_AdminNotification_Model_Feed I disabled the cache timing, then tried modifying getFeedUrl() to a non-existent URL.
