Firefox Live Bookmarks

[Alex_Leipzig]

Has anyone experienced problems with loading the feed from the News module as a live bookmark in Firefox. I just can't get it to work. Would I have to modify the feed to make it Firefox-compatible? In general, my feed validates without problems.

I didn't try it on Firefox.  It works great with Safari, though.  I wonder what the issue is...

I have the problem as well, actually 2 problems:

• The Firefox live bookmark does not work. You can add it too bookmarks as you are suppose to, but the folder only contains an error message saying that it failed to load the live bookmark. I have tested the feed in Sage, Bloglines and Google Desktop - all of work fine.
• If I insert the XML button in a page and then click on it I am asked what I want to do with a PHP file. The content that is downloaded is correct (no, I am not getting the content of the PHP file), but Firefox (and IE) believes it is a PHP file. I spent some time yesterday looking into it, but I cannot find the problem...

I've gotten the same probblem. The feed is well formed and everything, I think the problem might be the Content-Type header (it's application/rss+xml) although I haven't confirmed it yet.

This problem still persists in Firefox 1.4.1. It also affects cmsmadesimple.org itself. Has anyone found a solution or workaround yet?

[Ted]

If anyone can figure out what I'm doing wrong, I'd be very greatful.  AFAIK, the header type is correct and works great in Safari's RSS reader.  There must be one little trick I'm missing.

Check this out:

Edit: i dont' think you can have links in the RSS feed description like that.

[Ted]

They're contradicting themselves.

There is the sample RSS file that the site links to: http://static.userland.com/gems/backend ... ample2.xml

[Ted]

Ah, I see how to do it now.  A better example is: http://static.userland.com/gems/backend ... xample.xml

So, description rips out all tags and content:encoded sends the actual html.  I'll do the same and see how it goes.

I might be jumping at shadows here, but are the single quotes really correct in




I changed rssfeed.tpl to use double quotes, but to no avail. Nevertheless, I did check some other sites and found they're all using doulbe quotes. Wishy, you talked about this probably being a small thing, so I figured maybe...
