Bug: XML Links on Top Hits and Latest Links

[David]

If XML is enabled, there is an error on Top Hits and Latest Links, so we need to take a look at that one.

I've checked it against my current RC4 and PRC5 (Haha, Possible RC5, I crack myself up!)

I'm not having any problems.

What's the error, and can I see the install?

thanks

[David]

sure

Those feeds are showing fine for me.

Would you like for me to save them off and give you a link so you can see?

Weird

[David]

The xml link on this page....

I'm viewing them fine, no errors.

Content visible to registered users only.


Editted it since the page has no freakin breaks.

Try clearing your cache.

Weird...
I can view source and it looks fine. Maybe it IS my cache. Hmmm

[Ap0s7le]

Let me know if clearing gives you the results.

thanks

[Valtar]

They all seem to work fine for me, No errors.

[Ap0s7le]

Valtar, Shhh.... Don't tell... But I think it's all in David's mind...
Now don't go spreading this around or anything...

Let me set the record staight...I'm a confirmed nutcase. :lol:

Here is the error I still get:
Content visible to registered users only.

[Ap0s7le]

GEESH... can't trust no one to keep their mouths shut ;)

Try editing the description for "Midwest Area Swing Dance Challenge" and remove the hyphen.

Let me know.

I totally changed that link. The error changed a little too, but still the same problem.

I have noticed this before on various releases, but I always put it down to cache or something as the error was very intermittent - sometimes I got an error, sometime I didn't! That said, I'm running RC4 now, with some (prob not all) of the fixes applied and I can't make it error for me any more.

Go figure!!

[Ap0s7le]

Yeah, I'd say it boils down to various characters not being encoded properly.

[vjs]

With two browsers, firefox-1.6 and ie-6.0, I go through the sites, listed on the wiki where phpld is installed. On every site every time when I click on the fine "XML" button I see xml source code. This mean that most users see source instead of rendering page. This is true because I have tested most popular browser under different OSes on different machines: result is the same. What for is this button? May be for popularization of xml: when common user see the source, he know what xml is.

[kickass]

Yes, and if the script were written so that when people submitted info with these types of characters the script would encode them properly then, David, you wouldn't be getting those errors, and we would be one more step closer to having a script that is at least theoretically capable of producing properly validating xhtml.

Haven't we discussed this particular problem before? Maybe even more than once before?

[viapodcast]

I also was getting the xml error after I started adding links. Every page would fail when the xml link was clicked.

I found that I had an '&' in the description of my site.

This is the site settings in the admin area where you set your sites description.

As soon as I removed the '&' from the description the xml errors went away!
:D

True, viapodcast, but the programming should properly encode the ampersand to begin with.... instead of which we're all "writing around" the **censored****censored****censored****censored** thing.
