Hi!

I use geeklog over 2 years. I never tested the validity of resulting "RSS" files. Validome says "not valid" or stops after a XML parsing error. You get this if you put html tags in article content. (It's normal: DTD / XMLS not allow other tags. An opened tag is not good for a vaild xml...) I found this out using mixano.de.

So I try to make it clean:

In /system/classes/syndication/feedparserbase.class.php in line 224 I have changed
Text Formatted Code

return htmlspecialchars($string);
 

in
Text Formatted Code

return htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($string));
 

So this function should looks like this:
Text Formatted Code

function _safeXML( $string )
    {
      return htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($string));
    }
 


Now it looks good. Test youre RSS'es in validome...

What do you think about?

Are you using RSS 2.0? Those should validate just fine out of the box.

Also, what does http://www.feedvalidator.org/ say about your feeds? The RSS 2.0 feed for geeklog.net validates just fine there.

bye, Dirk
