Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.This is rather odd.
I have a working view which defines a filter and ordering in the defaults. In short, it's a view of "products".
has two pages displays - the first has a modified filter to show "featured" products on the /home page and the other one shows products (at path "products/%") to show products of a particular taxonomy type.
I went to add a feed display attached to the 2nd page display (the one driven by taxonomy) but, to my surprise, saw the feed icons for ALL the taxonomy terms on every page -- including pages unrelated to any touched by this view! E.g. I'm seeing the feed icons display on my contact page!
I made a copy of the site on one of our dev domains: http://dev1.chicagodrupalauthority.com/
Notice how the contact page ( http://dev1.chicagodrupalauthority.com/contact ) displays the feed icons as well.
Not sure where to go w/ this. I will monitor this issue over the next few weeks. I *think* this is a bug; but am completely willing to be put in my place.
Am running fully patched DRUPAL-6 tag of core and DRUPAL-6--2 tag of views.

merlinofchaos commentedJust as a comment, Views can only attach feed icons when it's running a view, so if you have a page without a view that has feed icons, Views cannot be what is putting it there, because it does not know how.
Comment #2
toddgee commentedInteresting; but does not apply in my case. The pages to which I'm attaching a view are views-generated pages. I'm attaching a feed display to that page; but am seeing feed icons for all taxonomy terms represented there. I'm also seeing the feed icons on every other page in the system (!) (like the contact page) -- pages that have nothing to do w/ the view on which the feed display is defined.

toddgee commentedJust included the updates made over the weekend to Views DRUPAL-6--2 and the problem still exists.
This really is an odd one.
Comment #4
toddgee commentedSo I looked again into this one and comment #1 was actually the lead down the right path.
I have a block on the page that executes all my taxonomy views to see if there are any results (because the filter is complex). If there are results, a menu item is generated. Running the view causes the feed icons to display anywhere that block is displayed.
I am using $view->preview($display, $args); to execute the view and then evaluating count($view->result).
The only way I found I could get around it was to set $view->is_attachment = TRUE before calling preview(). This prevents the feed displays from attaching so no feed icons.
Just in case someone happens to stumble across this.
Comment #5
merlinofchaos commentedIf you're just evaluating results, may I recommend doing $view->pre_execute() and then $view->execute()? This will skip the render phase, which is a good idea if you are just throwing away the text.
