Blank feeds in CGFeedmaker :( [solved]

Post by henson »

Hi,

I am really struggling on this one, and was wondering if I was missing something really obvious, but my feed through CGFeedmaker is blank, no matter what I do.  

I was running 1.6.6 but after having this problem, I have upgraded to 1.6.7  (I am worried about a 1.7 upgrade as I haven't physically got the time at the moment to run through and test everything..) to see if it would resolve the issue.

I am running CGExtensions 1.18.6 and CGFeedMaker 1.0.10 and I have pretty urls (mod_rewrite) working perfectly across the site.

I have got the auto discovery tag correctly in the head and a link to the only feed at the base of the navigation.  I am using the default news template and my feed is called news.  I have uploaded a screenshot of my feed settings below:

I am tearing my hair out!!  The only issues like this I can find on the forums seem to be an issue with pretty urls not installed, but I haven't got a problem with them :( as I say... no matter what I have tried the feed is blank.  There has got to be some installation step that I have missed, or something equally as daft!!

Any help would be very much appreciated!!

Thanks

Marc

Right... OK.

Sorry for being a little stroppy!  I have FINALLY found and fixed my problem, so, just in case anybody else comes across the same problem, I thought I would post what I did.

I went to:  http://www.feedvalidator.org which finally (this time.. I don't know why it wasn't working before...) showed me a validation error.

The error was that I had an HTML entity in the copyright section (eg  © 2010 Hauser Bears).  I deleted this entity and the whole thing validated and started working!!

There are still a few minor "recommendations" to fix though....

Cheers Calguy for all your hard work on your modules!! and thanks to feedvalidator.org for providing me with a fix!!

Marc :o)
