Warning for feed from validator

ragdollragdoll ✭
in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8

I had many errors reported by ifttt while trying to read the category feeds on my forum: http://www.fotocomefare.com/forum-fotografia.

The validator gives these warnings: http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http://www.fotocomefare.com/forum-fotografia/categories/consigli-sulla-fotografia/feed.rss

I'm just using the default feeds, how can I fix them?

    That page you link shows that the feeds are valid.

    What are the errors IFTTT is reporting?

    This sounds like IFTTT isn't using a robust parser, considering the w3c validates the feed.

    Ifttt is reporting a general error, I contacted them and they told me that probably the problem is related to the warning by the validator.

    Other feeds give no problem in ifttt

    warning!=error

    very rarely does a feed reader, have stricter parsing than the validator, sound more like a parsing bork.

    given there are only two warnings they should be able to tack down the issue.

    grep is your friend.

    I noticed you general site feed

    http://www.fotocomefare.com/forum-fotografia/feed.rss is bonking

    this could be a general smarty related error, but worth debuging.

    you will be able to copy applications/dashboard/views/rss.master to your themes's views folder.

    grep is your friend.

    you can also copy

    vanilla/views/discussions/index_rss.php to your themes's views/discusions/index_rss.php folder

    You can make some changes to these such as the date format look up the RSS spec.

    Also

    <atom:link href="<?php echo Url('discussions/feed.rss'); ?>" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" />

    isn't accurate enough

    you need something like

    <atom:link href="<?php echo Url($this->SelfUrl.'/feed.rss''/feed.rss',TRUE); ?>" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" />

    grep is your friend.

    Category feeds are working correctly, they never bonked for me. So, I don't know how the general feed should help.
    I copied the files you suggested but got no different result. I didn't even have a views/discussions folder in my theme folder, could this be a problem?

    I just pointed it out to you, might not be aware that it isn't working...jeez

    I said you have to change them to get rid of the warnings.

    I can't do all of the work for you.

    You might need to clear smarty cache too.

    grep is your friend.

    Thanks, but my smarty cache is already empty and I don't even know what smarty is.

    I don't even know what smarty is.

    thats why they have google and documentation.

    I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.
