rss feeds issue

[greenflag]

in my pp rss feed, the thumbnail link is correct, but the picture name link is not:

title link format: mysites.com/pictures/Resource%20id%20#93

(in feed source <link>Resource id #93</link> )

which is not a url!

i am using seo settings - again - thumbail link in feed is correct.

also - when I refresh feed the title name changes for every photo - every refresh

I Love Dogs

also how can i edit the title of the rss page? (I Love Dogs now)

[Chuck S]

The title of your page is going to be your site name you have placed in your admin global options.

ok thanks - but please look at this feed and tell me how to fix please!

What is the error your trying to show me your feed looks completely fine to me.

2 things:

1) every title is the same and changes when you refresh the page

2) the title links are all broken - click on title link and see

[Chuck S]

well in rss.php this line

Content visible to verified customers only.

should read

Content visible to verified customers only.

u mean external.php right?

titles are now correct - but when u click on title it is not a valid link -

please help - links are like below

mysites.com/pictures/Resource%20id%20#93

(in feed source <link>Resource id #93</link> )

here is code from external.php:

$title = htmlspecialchars( $data['title'] );
$pholink = htmlspecialchars( construct_newppurl( "showproduct.php", array('product' => $data['id'], 'title' => $data['title'], 'cat' => $data['cat']) ) );

is it the pholink that line that is the link from the title?

[Chuck S]

Is your external.php script current?

ReefTalk.com

see mine there is no title because the title line was not correct. The title should not be a link to anything.

[Chuck S]

remove this line from external.php

Content visible to verified customers only.

i used the one in the 7.1 release.

and the rss in reeftalk the picture title is a broken link too!

that last <guid isPermaLink="true">{$pholink}</guid> remove did not work.

see screenshot attached where link is bad.

The title is not a link please remove the guid line.

[greenflag]

ok i removed it - still same issue. let me ask another way:

how could i get the picture title link to link to the same url as thumbnail is linked to?

[Chuck S]

If your title line reads what I wrote and you remove the guid line as I noted there should be no link. The image is the actual photo link. There is nowhere in the file that the title is a link nor should it be.

Your free to modify your script in any manner you wish but that would probally mean you define things differently maybe the pholink line

Content visible to verified customers only.

should maybe be

Content visible to verified customers only.

thanks for all the help.

but look here: ReefTalk.com

click on the 1st photo title (DSCN0725) - it is linked and is a 404 - http://www.reeftalk.com/gallery/Resource%20id%20#25

but thumbnail is properly linked:

http://www.reeftalk.com/gallery/memb...-dscn0725.html

as are all title links - just like my feed - as I am using the new 7.1 version of external.php

what code controls the title link?

[Chuck S]

My titles are NOT clickable in any manner in the code.

why not lets ask this what browser are you using?

I see your issue. In Safari, Mozilla, Opera things work as they should in the rss feed. You are using IE8 which has a bug I would think. Google Chrome does not do RSS.

I dont really have anything that I can post about an IE 8 bug but I will search and see if I find anything.

[greenflag]

ie 8. thanks

also in chome i dont see a feed - just html on the page

i still see error in mozilla as well...

ill ask i coder i know as well, but ty for help thus far

[Chuck S]

If I use Mozilla Safari or Opera the title is not clickable and there is no reason it should be.

Chrome is a new browser as previously posted it does not do rss feeds because they are pure xml.

Let me know if you find anything out about IE8 as they seem to handle rss a little different

i had it fixed but had to pay a coder. thx for help
