XML/RSS Feed doesn't validate in Feedburner

Post by stopsatgreen »

I want to manage my feed through Feedburner, but the auto-discovery URL isn't recognised. Is there a way to output the XML to a more useable URL so I can manage it?

I've put the cmsms feed into feedburner and it works fine.  I believe that for some reason, feedburner isn't smart enough to convert the & to & in the url.

OK, I've converted & to & and that works, but now it tells me my feed is too big. How can I limit the number of items to display in the feed?

Oh dear, I never thought of that...  I'll make sure there is a limit in the autodiscovery link on the next release.

Thanks... and is there a way to tell the feed which template to display in, also?

It uses the smarty template in modules/News/rssfeed.tpl to display itself.  I don't have any way of overriding that.

Sorry, I mean when you click on a link in the feed. I have a page which calls a different display template in {cms_module}, but when I click a link in the feed it goes to the default template page.

Is the limit to number of autodiscovery items something that could be done for the 0.12 release? Is it fairly simple?

Yeah, I'll do that now while I'm thinking of it.

You're amazing!  :)

Which file will that be? news.module.php? I want to download it from the nightly build!

Yup, that's the file.  It's in svn.

Hmmm... maybe I'm being simple, but I can't find it! I open trunk > modules and there's just a note saying 'moved trunk to proper place'; am I missing something???

Modules are stored in their own repositories and linked via the svn:externals feature.

Try: http://viewsvn.cmsmadesimple.org/viewsv ... newsmodule

I downloaded the latest build from SVN and uploaded it, but it doesn't seem to be limiting my feed length. I left it a few days to make sure, but still my whole feed is being published. Added to that, the XML module feature still doesn't work. It seems that when I install new pages individually, the new functionality doesn't work. I've tried refreshing my cache, tried deleting the old file first before uploading... nothing.

Does anyone have any clue why this could be happening?

I get an error until remove every "&" from my news. But so I can't even use  !

Seems to be an XML problem?
