I know that I''m doing something wrong, but I can''t figure out
what.
I''ve looked at every wiki and tutorial I can find on feedtools but I
still can''t get my rss feed working. Here''s my code.
feed = FeedTools::Feed.new
feed.entries << FeedTools::FeedItem.new
feed.entries[0].author.name = "Charlie Bowman"
feed.entries[0].title = @post.title
feed.entries[0].link = "http://server:3000/pragmatic/"
feed.entries[0].content = @post.post
# Assumes this is inside a .rxml file
feed.entries[0].build_xml("rss", 2.0,xml)
Here''s what the validator tells me. Thanks for any input!
This feed does not validate.

Here''s my code.Surely you need to add the XML prolog and say what RSS version you''re using and so on? See: http://searchenginewatch.com/sereport/article.php/2175271 For example, your output code needs to be something more like: <?xml version="1.0" ?> <rss version="2.0"> <channel> <title>My funky RSS feed</title> <description>If it''s happening, you''ll find it here!</description> <link>http://www.mysite.com</link> <item> ? <title>er</title> ?<link>http://server:3000/pragmatic/</link> ?<dc:creator>Charlie Bowman</dc:creator> ?<content:encoded> ? ?<![CDATA[<p>gdf</p>]]> ?</content:encoded> ? <pubDate>Mon, 20 Mar 2006 18:52:17 -0000</pubDate> ?<guid isPermaLink="true">http://server:3000/pragmatic/</guid> </item> </channel> </rss> Hmm... actually, I hadn''t found FeedTools yet (until right this second). Anyway, from the tutorial at: http://sporkmonger.com/articles/2005/08/11/tutorial/ ... looks like you need to call something in your view like: @feed.build_xml((@feed_type or "atom"), 0.0, xml) Are you doing that? From the source you posted, it basically looks like you aren''t turning it into a proper XML document, which should hopefully explain why it won''t validate, since you''re only generating half of it.

Actually, I gave up on feedtools and decided just to write some xml. I tried to follow sporkmongers tutorial for creating a feed but couldn''t get it to work.

Mea culpa. Simple fix: You''re building the XML for the feed item. You need to build the XML for the feed itself: feed.build_xml("rss", 2.0, xml) Cheers, Bob Aman -- AIM: sporkmonger Jabber: sporkmonger@jabber.org
