RSS feed from News module

[100rk]

Hi all,
do anybody knows, how to force module News send header

Code: Select all

header('Content-type: text/xml');

properly? I mean - if I click on my RSS (XML) button, i will allways receive page with text/html content type... Try it and check page info in Your browser. Because of this bug some RSS readers cannot work properly and returns error...
PHP function void header ( string string [, bool replace [, int http_response_code]] ) has parameter 'replace' with default value 'true', but it doesn't works...

Or - error will be in another place of code - I was change file /moduleinterface.php -
lines

Code: Select all

header("Content-Language: " . $current_language);
header("Content-Type: text/html; charset=" . get_encoding());

I was move right after include file 'include.php' at beginning of script, but ALL my news with í things caused in browser this error:
XML Parsing Error: undefined entity. Maybe those HTML characters are not allowed in XML document? They was converted by TinyMCE from national characters - how can i turn off this feature of TinyMCE?
Cheers, 100rk.

I fixed the content-type issues. There is now a $gCms->variables['content-type'] that defaults to 'text/html'. A module can override that if they like and it will use something else. Solves the rss problem nicely.

As for the TinyMCE problems, I'm not totally sure. I don't use it, myself.

How do I make the RSS button show in News 2.0 under beta3 - in the templates? How?

With the ordinary News-tag, I get an error message:

Warning: Wrong parameter count for array_merge() in /data/homewww/isuew/webdir/cms/modules/News/News.module.php on line 402

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /data/homewww/isuew/webdir/cms/lib/classes/class.module.inc.php on line 1297

Quick fix for this is get rid of the array_merge part

Code: Select all

$params = array("showtemplate"=>"false");

That's what I get for cutting and pasting.  I'd commit a fix, but I'm in the middle of trying to get an rss feed meta tag to show up in the header and it's currently breaking the module...

OK, the XML button is there, but the news items are gone...
And the feed seems to invalid: "XML interpretation failed: syntax error (line: 1, character: 48)"

Hmm.  That's weird.  I ran it through an RSS validator after it was finish and it went through fine.

I think the problems here are (again) the html-entyties.
Not every(on some systems none) news-reader knows what a ü is  but the WYSIWYG-editor is translating it. Therefore a syntax error is given here.
Got the same problem in  0.10 "Antigua".

short said:the xml is valid, but the reader doesnt understand the entities.

just a thought .. could be right could be wrong.


(i apologize for bad language, i am a little bit in a hurry at the moment.)
