RSS2 Feed Contribution

[tiaz]

I just wanted to say thank you for this mod, I've installed quite a few mods on my zen (i'm new to zen also) and this one was the easiest and I had it up and running in under 10 mins- I'm very impressed :)

If you have the time, or if anyone reading this knows, I have a small issue I wanted to ask about validation. I ran the feed through w3.org and I got:

This feed is valid, but interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendations.

*

line 4, column 0: Use of unknown namespace: http://base.google.com/cns/1.0 [help]

<rss version="2.0"

*

line 12, column 107: Self reference doesn't match document location [help]

... rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" />
^

*

line 24, column 0: Invalid HTML: EOF in middle of construct, at line 1, column 106 (100 occurrences) [help]

<description><![CDATA[ <a href="http://www.mysiteurl.com

Small issues and I don't know if they are unrelated to the feed mod, but if I can I would like to put them right. Can you/anyone advise on any of these?

Thank Again :)

Mine has the same issue. As long it is creating your feed right no worries. Their is no way of fixing every little minor thing. Their will always be some errors somewhere. I just decided to live with it.

I read all this thread since msg #1 and couldn't find the cause of my problem.

The feed writes the <link> tag above the XML declaration, I was wondering why is this happening, as a result no feed is displayed, I tested with different feed readers and although IE8 reads my old feed??? Even though I deleted it from the cache, Firefox 3 and Safari, just show text and don't display the feed ... as I said the problem seems to be the link tags, but I don't understand why are they displayed outside the head tag ...

It's really weird as after XML declaration the documents follows the proper structure ....

Here are the errors encountered by feedvalidator.org:

This feed does not validate.

line 1, column 0: Undefined root element: link [help]

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS Specials Feed" h ...

*

line 2, column 0: XML parsing error: <unknown>:2:0: junk after document element [help]

In addition, interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendation.

*

Feeds should not be served with the "text/html" media type [help]

Has anyone analyzed the class in deep to tell me why these links are not in the header?

Thanks!
