We'll need to review the RSS format that MN produces. We create most of them with views_rss.

Which RSS feed did you add to aggregator?

None of them seem to work: http://noticies.consultes.cat/

I can confirm feeds from MN doesn't validate and doesn't work for aggregation from remote Drupal sites. Also some readers are refusing MN feeds as invalid ( http://feed.informer.com ). Only Google Reader works without any issues with MN.

Attached patch fixes all critical issues with MN feeds from views_rss.

Inspired by http://drupal.org/node/607622

The views rss patch has now been modified and committed. However, there is still an issue with common feed types such as http://news.google.com/?output=rss, where the input contains special invisible characters that are output and that break the rss feed for many readers, including aggregator and firefox's display. Requires more investigation.

RSS feed from managing news is not compatible with Drupal aggregator. Here comes the error message.

The feed seems to be broken, because of error "200 feed not parseable".

Please fix this soon. Thanks for your help

I assume #7 and #8 are reporting on beta 8 - if not, please upgrade.

yes using beta8. No feeds on 2 drupal 6 sites. What do we need to solve this?

I also noticed the impossibility of aggregating MN feeds with drupal aggregator: what I find is that some characters that are coded as & # ... in the feeds integrated by MN, get transformed into HTML entities by MN (e.g. & agrave) in the exported RSS and this results in illegal xml data ...

#13 breaks because ’ (the replacement for ’) is not valid in XML parsers.

See:

http://www.dwheeler.com/essays/quotes-in-html.html
http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http://drupal.org/files/test_... (copy of feed in #13).

I have tested Drupal core aggregator and the common syndication parser used in Feeds (and MN as of beta 8).

Working on a fix for views_rss now.

Is this still unresolved in 1.2? If solved, this issues should be closed?
