Description
It works fine until we used Feedburner email subscription service, in the rss email, read more link only shows half of the permalink, not the whole link i.e. (www.example.com/postlink) but (postlink) only. Would you please let us know how to fix it? Thanks in advance.
#1
Discovered the same problem, with only relative links in RSS links that break once in Feedburner feeds.
This was first identified in http://drupal.org/node/294744, then fixed as described in http://drupal.org/node/294846, but then "re-broken" in 6.x-3.0 release.
#2
The RSS feeds need to be fixed to use absolute paths.
#3
Please try the latest 6.x-3.x-dev release. I'm pretty sure this is already fixed.
#4
I am 6.x-3.x-dev (the latest as of March 24, 2009). As a result, I had to disable ed_readmore from the two sites on which I had it installed. The Feedburner feed, and the emailed newsletters, had the readmore links as relative links, so they would point to feedburner.com/drupalsite_relative_link.
#5
I discovered a fundamental limitation of the node system that prevents a clean separation between a normal teaser and an RSS item. The
$op(operations) path progresses like this: (1) load > (2) view > (3) alter > (4) rss item. Because "rss item" occurs after "view," the link has already been added to the node object.To bypass this entirely, I am switching from the hook_nodeapi() to template_preprocess_node() method of appending the link to the end of the node teaser.
This means that the "read more" link will not be able to add a link to RSS items But that's okay -- Drupal already adds a "read more" link in node.module (see node_feed()). Unfortunately, Drupal's default "read more" link cannot be themed or altered.
I have filed a feature request for Drupal 7 to expose the default "read more" link in RSS items to alteration: #431660: Expose "read more" link in RSS feeds to a configuration UI or preprocess function.
Because the Read More module cannot completely tap into the RSS item's "read more" link, I am marking this "won't fix." I will commit my changes regarding the hook_nodeapi() to template_preprocess_node() switch in a few minutes.
