Subject: WEC Discussion and RSS Problems
Hello
I installed WEC_Discussion and have now following problem:
if I enable RSS all looks good.
But if I click on the RSS-Link, i get an error.
something like:
XML input cannot be displayed if Stylesheet XSL......
and I see in the line, that there is a DIV Tag...

The RSS feed look also to be empty, but i hve postings in it.
if I set the content to be a rss feed, there is some output(in html) with the posts.
I also tried to correct the german translation to display non ä ...ae istead...
But the text shon in the error message still contains ä......

can somebody help me?

Thanks

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

Do you have a link to see this behavior? If not, could you forward to my email the output of the RSS feed. It would be good to see what the DIV tag is coming from.

I did check the latest version and it works fine with several US-based sites, so perhaps there is an issue with German sites or language issues.

Hi Thomas,

I looked and realized something was missing in the manual. What you also have to do is set the 'rssFeedOn' constant to =1. You can set this in the Template Setup directly or use the Constant Editor to set it. This will enable RSS feeds. That way, if you have a discussion forum and do not want RSS feeds, someone cannot just put the &type=224 on the end to get them.

This should work, if you are still stuck, let me know. A backend login sent to my email would be helpful.

Hi Dave
The RssOn was selected.
It seeems that the Links in the RSS Output are not correct.
there is a text like:
<link>http://www.yanoma.ch/index.php?id=13&L=3</link>
the & should be a &amp; I think
if I delete the markers in the rss template, all seems to work....without links
the IE7 is very strictly....also by parsing the contenttext, if I use a Umlaut. but that I can fix.

I corrected the problem:
in class.tx_wecdiscussion_pi1.php
at line 2818 I inserted:
$urlamp = str_replace('&','&amp;',$url);
at line 2819
return $urlamp;

hope you can use the cod

Hi all,
I have a problem too with rss-function of the WEC_discussion. I use it as a blog. I did it like it is written in the manual (including rssFeedsOn 1). The RSS-button is there but if I click it nothing happens.

Thank you

Hi Peter,

Are you using the latest version of the WEC Discussion (v1.5.3)? You can check by going to Ext manager->Loaded Extensions. And then look for the extension name. This has the fix listed above.

If you have the latest version, can I look at the URL on your site to see if it is a browser issue or other problem? Also, have you customized the TypoScript at all? If possible, a Backend login to your site to see if there is anything missing.
