"Read more" link doesn't work

Robert, the "read more" link doesn't work, it adds the link to the original news after the link of site. I need to change this :

$output .= '<br /><span class="feed-item-link">' . l(t('read more'), $item->link) . '</span> <span class="feed-item-source">[<a href="/' . $item->flink . '">' . $item->ftitle . '</a>] ' . $blog_icon . '</span>';

by this :

$output .= '<br /><span class="feed-item-link"> <a href="/' . $item->link . '">' . t('read more') . '</a> </span> <span class="feed-item-source">[<a href="/' . $item->flink . '">' . $item->ftitle . '</a>] ' . $blog_icon . '</span>';

and it works for me (but there could be an other way !)

Thanks, regards,

Eric.
