RSS Submittal

OK kiddies...here is a new one for ya!

-

Tried to submit my forum feed to one of "those" companies.... i.e. http://www.rss-network.com

-

When I plug in ANY feed from a Dolphin/Orca forum, it gives this error:

-

Error occurred while updating table 'items'

-

This is the format from the RSS link:

-

http://www.boonex.com/unity/forums/rss/forum/Dolphin-6.0.0004.htm

-

How can this be fixed so that we can submit our RSS feeds????????????

-

~~ Lorren

OK, so the feeds don't validate!!!!!!

-

This feed does not validate.

Didn't we figure out somewhere the the feeds have to end in .xml  ?   What is the xml equivalent of that .htm link for the forums?

Rob

Here is the error that is causing the feed NOT to validate...How do I fix it...surely we have an RSS expert out there?

-

That is for them to be displayable on our Dolphin sites....

-

If you click on the link...this is the code it outputs.

http://www.boonex.com/unity/forums/rss/forum/Dolphin-6.0.0004.htm

-

What I mean by displayable Rob, is that when you use builder to add an RSS block...and add feed from another site.

-

Lorren

Wow this is really strange...some of the feeds in Boonex validate, some don't.

-

Here is one from my forum:

-

Sorry

This feed does not validate.

In addition, interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendation.

So it has to do with the date!

-

How and where do I fix that?

Come on now...I didn't code this stuff on the RSS, Boonex did. Surely someone knows how to make it validate.

Is everyone on vacation?
