Take a look at the source code for that XML page. Firefox will usually highlight any errors it sees in red.

Hard to tell what the error is on just the screenshot.

XML is very picky when it comes to formatting. You need to escape the output so that it matches XML requirements.

That might be as easy as adding |jrCore_entity_string to the variables you use, or it might require more. need to do lots of testing.

eg:
{$title|jrCore_entity_string}

right, so any of your users might put an & in there and thats a problem if its going to break the xml. So use |jrCore_entity_string on whatever variable outputs that title in your .tpl file.

If you can paste your .tpl rss code I can tell you which variable it is if your stuck.

Well done, good finding.

hello @michael

I don't have a custom file.tpl at them moment am testing Feed Module and testing them first. before i create my own,
am learning how jamroom works inside out and testing everything jamroom have to offer,

here is the feed module code:

url where I got the error are the follow

domain.com/feed/streams/don-omar

rss.tpl

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<rss version="2.0">
    <channel>
        <title>{$rss_title}</title>
        <description>{$rss_desc}</description>
        <link>{$rss_url}</link>
        <lastBuildDate>{$rss_builddate}</lastBuildDate>
        {foreach $_items as $item}
            <item>
                <title>{$item.title}</title>
                <link>{$item.link}</link>
                <description>{$item.description|jrCore_format_string:$item.profile_quota_id|strip_tags}</description>
                <pubDate>{$item.pubdate}</pubDate>
            </item>
        {/foreach}
    </channel>
</rss>

rss_list.tpl

{if isset($jrFeed.feed)}
    <div class="title"><h2>{$jrFeed.feed.title}</h2></div>
    <div class="block_content">
        <div class="item" style="height:462px;overflow:auto;">
            {if isset($jrFeed.feed.item)}
                {foreach from=$jrFeed.feed.item item="item"}
                    <div class="normal">
                        <a href="{$item.link}">{$item.title}</a><br>
                        {$item.pubDate|jrCore_date_format}<br>
                        {$item.description}<br>
                    </div>
                    <hr>
                {/foreach}
            {/if}
        </div>
    </div>
{/if}

Thank You

If its running through the default I would have expected escaping.

Looks like the one's you'd want to change are:

{$item.title}

to

{$item.title|jrCore_entity_string}

It looks like the 'description' is having html stripped by the feed function.

But anywhere where stuff like that & is causing an issue |jrCore_entity_string should fix it.

--edit--
what its doing is it's taking & and turning it into & a m p ; (without the spaces)

error on line 42 at column 49: Entity 'eacute' not defined

Your XML file is invalid, as É isn't a default character entity for XML documents.

You should to replace it by É or to correctly encode it.

thank you

couple of discussions on XML and eacute here:
http://objectmix.com/csharp/729650-xml-character-codes-such-eacute%3B.html
http://p2p.wrox.com/xslt/41905-utf-8-xml-undeclared-entity-errors.html
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13953222/xml-entities-not-defined-and-cdata

That last one has this suggestion:

Quote:
If you want to embed HTML in an XML document, then you either have to use:

* CDATA markers around the content of an element (not an attribute). (As you are doing for the value of the meta element)

So try:

<![CDATA[ {$item.title|jrCore_entity_string}  ]]>

Hello @michael

I have modify the rss.tpl on the feed module and it works perfectly,

here is how the code looks like now.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<rss version="2.0">
    <channel>
        <title><![CDATA[ {$rss_item.title|jrCore_entity_string}]]></title>
        <description>{$rss_desc}</description>
        <link>{$rss_url}</link>
        <lastBuildDate>{$rss_builddate}</lastBuildDate>
        {foreach $_items as $item}
            <item>
                <title><![CDATA[ {$item.title|jrCore_entity_string}]]></title>
                <link>{$item.link}</link>
                <description><![CDATA[ {$item.description|jrCore_format_string:$item.profile_quota_id|strip_tags|jrCore_entity_string}]]></description>
                <pubDate>{$item.pubdate}</pubDate>
            </item>
        {/foreach}
