foreign rss feed

Post by wh1sper »

I discovered that s9y 0.71 do not like any ampersand "&" in the resultset URL.
http://www.xforce-online.de/forum/index ... [truncated]
the owner of http://www.xforce-online.de has changed his newsfeed, so now it works.
but it should changed in the next version of s9y.
Or I am wrong an '&' aren't allowed by definition?

'&' are XHTML entities and thus can only be used when escaping them properly as '&'.

But I don't know which resultset URL you mean exactly?

I've lost the wrong url, because the Author has already changed it.
My first thought was, that the Url has to be clean decoded. so...
delete this :)

Serendipity does offer a 'Clean common XHTML errors' plugin which fixes most of the '&' problems if you don't want to pay attention when writing entries. :))
