is there anyreason why my RSS feed would fail all of the sudden?
I did some heavy template tweaking and now no feed.

Is there any php/html formatting that would interfere as I moved around my
<SITE_RSS_LINK> tag?

in my template it's formatted like so:
...
<SITE_PHOTONUMBER> photos | <SITE_VISITORNUMBER> visitors
  
<a href="?showimage=<IMAGE_ID>">Permalink</a>
  
<a href="<SITE_BROWSELINK>">Browse Archive</a>
   
<SITE_RSS_LINK>
</div>
etc. etc.
...

Here's the copied link from my feed:
http://www.nauglevision.com/pix/?x=rss

..and here's the blog link:

There's no reason it should stop working.
When I go to your feed now it appears alright.

The <SITE_RSS_LINK> is there just to not confuse anyone. But in some cases it might do just that.

It is only a link to index.php?x=rss.

Hmm. OKay, maybe it's something on my end.
I usually view my feeds through Mozilla Firefox Live Bookmarks.

Earier today I had save your XML feed from :
http://www.pixelpunk.se/software/extras.php

and no it's failing. Must be something on my end.

THX.

I tried enter your link in my news-aggregator and your right, something is fishy.
It found the site, the name, but no items.

My knowledge in the rss-format is limited. I merely copied some example files, perhaps something is wrong with the publishing date that makes it not pickup the already posted items?

I have to look this up closer in order to serve a better rss-feed...

There are some major faults with the rss feed.

I'm very sorry I didn't take the time to properly create the feed the first time around, I guess it just wasn't a top priority.

I've re-created it and now it's top stuff, you need to patch your index.php with this new file.

[quote="pixelpunk"]There are some major faults with the rss feed.

I already "fixed" it last night. Here's what I did:
I tried switching out templates, main index.php, admin/index.php, everything was still the same.

I made a clean install and the RSS feed worked. So I imported all the database data from my original and then no RSS feed.

Then I got to my MySql and start tinkering. I narrowed it down to the pixelpost.pixelpost table > Body field (text for a photo). I have been embedding html in my text so i assumed that was it. But while testing it , I would put a lot of text (2 lines of just words) and it would fail. I never figured out just what it was but I cleared all of my text from those fields and it works now. i guess I will start adding text again and keep checking the RSS feed.

So, does that text field support html without error that you know of?

THanks for you help regardless.

You should be able to use any html-formatting you like.

Make sure you have the latest index.php file btw, the rss-feed as written is updated and will give you a better feed no matter what.
