RSS feed not working - wrong file names

Posted: Wed Aug 03, 2005 9:48 pm

i am trying to set up an RSS feed on my site. i am placing the little yahoo bar that prompts visitors to add my feed to their yahoo page. my problem is that when you click on the actual links for the various news articles, it is the wrong link.

For example, the article link is actually:
[ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]&file=article&sid=27

but the link that shows up on the feed reads:
[ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]

(missing the "&" symbols).

How can i fix this? Thanks.

You can try changing the & to & but you may need to post the code for the program that creates the rss file.

i looked in backend.php and it does read &amp. how do i find the program that creates the rss file?

That's the file backend.php. Either post your site url or email/pm me and I'll take a look. So, you're saying if you type [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ] the links are all wrong - correct?

no, actually when i type in my url and backend.php, all the links are correct. they aren't coming up correctly, however, using the yahoo! feature. not sure how to correct that with them. it is basically leaving out the & sign so the links don't point to the correct articles!

I'm not familiar with the Yahoo feature you are talking about. I would contact them. Maybe they have a FAQ or a discussion forum.
