RSS and Firefox Can't Post
Hello,

I followed the instructions and managed to add RSS to my website.
it doesn't work on Firefox's feed, I get this message:
"This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below."

also, when there is an article with a summary only the link from the feed leads me to a "not found" page. that makes sense because there is no article.
is there any way to go around this?

many thanks,
Roni

 Hi Roni

Thanks for the email!

From the sounds of it, your RSS is actually working ok Smile. What you’ll find is that most people use a specific RSS news reader instead of FireFox. That will get your feed looking much nicer. Of course, you could built an XML stylesheet so that the feed will show up nice in FireFox. That is a little outside my area of expertise though. Had you used a news reader before?

Perhaps the community could list a few of their favorites so you can check them out Smile.

Now, with the broken links, Article Manager actually lets you link to summary only articles. The link is going to be to the index page of the category that article is in. There will be an anchor tag so it jumps down appropriately. Now, if it’s giving you trouble though, you could just remove the link. To do that, open up your rss template and look for this section:

<!-- templatecell : row_summary -->

In there, you’ll see:

<link>$detail_link$</link>

Remove that and you are done.

Does that all help? Keep me up to date with how you are making out Smile.
