Title: RSS Feed
Post by: archbish0p on August 11, 2009, 11:24:41 AM

Good Morning,

Have done a search on Rss feeds and cant find what I'm looking for. Im trying to implement an RSS feed in the Rss feed block but I keep getting an error that the RSS Feed is invalid. Here is the feed as far as i can see it:

http://www.swtor.com/feed/news/article

Im sure it has something to do with that line not having the page in it but totally lost to what it is.

Thanks in Advance for an help.

You keep on getting that error, because it is not a valid feed:
http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.swtor.com%2Ffeed%2Fnews%2Farticle

I suggest that you send a message to the owners or admin of that website with the bad feed. While firefox seems to be able to show it alright, the RSS block or the PHP functions it uses aren't quite that tolerant. ;)

This would require a complete rewrite of the RSS block, adding quite a bit more code so that it is more tolerant. Its on the list of things to do for the devs, but not really that high on the priority list.
