trouble with rss/atom feeds in Firefox

[jasondunsmore]

for some reason, the rss/atom feeds on my site (pixelpost 1.4.3) don't work with firefox (v1.0.7).

my site is at: http://www.jasondunsmore.com/blog/

the rss feed says "Live bookmark failed to load.", and the atom feed says "Live bookmark loading...", forever.

any idea why?

that loads fine for me... try again - there's no reason why it shouldn't work.

[jasondunsmore]

the xml looks good, but did you actually try making a "live bookmark" in firefox?

thanks for the help.

[Joe[y]+]

umm. no - but that's only because you don't havc the firefox autodetect script in your template. i don't know how to add live bookmarks manually.

p.s. consider getting firefox 1.5.

[jasondunsmore]

it does autodetect it for me (there's a orange button on the lower right corner), and that's how i subscribe to the "live bookmark". i'm not sure why it's not working for you. isn't this code responsible for the autodetection?

<!-- Link for ATOM feed autodiscovery -->
<link rel="service.feed" type="application/x.atom+xml" href="http://&amp;x=atom" title="Jason Dunsmore Photography" />
<!-- Link for RSS feed autodiscovery -->
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Jason Dunsmore Photography - RSS feed" href="/index.php?x=rss" />

but it doesn't work after i subscribe to it from the autodetection.

i'm looking forward to using firefox 1.5, but i'm patiently waiting for someone to package it for debian sarge. even so, it shouldn't be too hard to make the xml backwards compatible (if it's somewhat close to being standards compliant).

[Joe[y]+]

ok

it's working now! weird... anyway - i see what you mean now but as pixelpost does produce valid rss feeds i have no idea what the problem is. this is possibly a bug with firefox. i'm gonna take another look at your feed.

You have bad link in your template http://www.jasondunsmore.com/blog/index.php?x=rss works fine for me

[jasondunsmore]

hey, that was it. thanks a lot.

i replaced the original pixelpost-light template 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" />

with:

<!-- Link for ATOM feed autodiscovery -->
<link rel="service.feed" type="application/x.atom+xml" href="?x=atom" 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" />

We are glad that it works and all is fine now
