RSS trouble (toolbar button not set right)

I'm running PP 1.7.1. I've been using PP for about four years and everything seems fine. However, someone mentioned to me today that the RSS button in the Firefox toolbar (URL field) isn't giving the right address for the feed.

Specifically:

The URL for the photo blog is:
http://www.blork.org/mondaymorning/

When you click the RSS button that appears on each page below the images (which I configured several years ago, and don't remember the details), you get the correct feed address:
http://www.blork.org/mondaymorning/index.php?x=rss

But when you click the RSS button that appears in the toolbar (URL field) you get the following feed address, which is incorrect:
http://www.blork.org/index.php?x=rss (the /mondaymorning/ part is missing)

I've gone through my PP options and I cannot find where this is configured. All references to the blog's address use the full URL (including the /mondaymorning/ part).

>>> Is this a Firefox bug, or am I missing something in the setup? <<<

On the Options > General page, under "RSS/Atom Feed Discovery" I have "RSS/Atom" selected as the feed type. It also asks for the feed title, description, copyright, style, etc., but there is no place to specify the address. I assume that it does it automatically.

Help!

This is the fault of your template author not using the correct Pixelpost template tags!

Take a look at your templates image_template.html file...

Here is the specific RSS/ATOM code in use:
Code:
<!-- Link for ATOM feed autodiscovery -->
<link rel="service.feed" type="application/x.atom+xml" href="<ATOM_AUTODETECT>" title="<SITE_TITLE>" />
<!-- Link for RSS feed autodiscovery -->
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="<SITE_TITLE> - RSS feed" href="/index.php?x=rss" />
They have the ATOM part coded correctly but you can see they have hard coded the RSS url as /index.php?x=rss

Now, because you are using Pixelpost 1.7.1 you can replace all that code above with the following:

Code:
<FEED_AUTO_DISCOVERY>
Make this change to your about_template.html and browse_template.html files as well.

Question RSS - Live Bookmark Feed Fails to Load

I've recently installed PP 1.7.1. Sometimes the RSS feed worked and then it didn't. I've uninstalled and reinstalled a number of times and I still get the error message "Live Bookmark Feed Failed to Load" in the bookmark. I've reviewed the code per noted instructions. Since I'm new, I don't quite understand. Here's the code as I have it installed:

<title>&lt;SITE_TITLE&gt;</title><!-- Link for ATOM feed autodiscovery -->
<atom_autodetect_link><!-- Link for RSS feed autodiscovery -->
<rss_autodetect_link><!-- META -->

What code do I need to fix so I don't have to start over again and reinstall again?

Does it have anything to do with image names or info?
