Hi,

I use the back-end RSS plugin to show some feeds, but now I see this error:

Error on line 149 of /var/www/bundled-libs/Onyx/RSS.php: File has an XML error (Reserved XML Name at line 1).

I use the plugin 3 times and only the first 2 show up with this error...

In 1.1 beta 5 all was working well...

Anyone have any ideas?

Hi!

It's a problem of the RSS feed you are subscribed to. It now has invalid characters, so you need to contact the writer of the feed so that he can fix his errors.

Haha, that is funny: It's the feed of my own blog and the comments feed!

How do I fix that? It's generated by S9y ????

Hi!

Ah, you should have mentioned that.

In fact your RSS feed is broken. You have an extra space before the first "<?xml". This can happen if you edit PHP files and save trailing whitespaces before the first <?php or after the last ?>.

Check all files you manually modified for such extra invalid characters. They usually hapen if you edit UNIX files with a WINDOWS editor and save files with \r\n instead of \n line endings.

Uh, I never edit anything since I have no clue about php etc...

Only thing I did was upgrade from 1.1. beta 5 to 1.1 final .....

Hmmm?

Hi!

Hm, all of the out-of-the-box s9y files should not contain superfluos linebreaks. It could maybe also come from a templates config.inc.php file - does it happen with a different template as well?

You also didn'T edit any language files?

I have my site configured so people can choose their own templates, but I have the latest "One True Layout" set as default.

I have never edited anything myself...

The only thing I can think off is that I upgraded using the .zip file and not the tar.gzip file while my server is Linux.

Tonight I will just upload all files again and use the tar.gzip. Maybe something went wrong there? I used SFTP over SSH...

Hi!

Yes, please try to re-upload those files.

It's really hard to debug. Usually I edit all related files and plugins to check which file could be responsible. Did you maybe install a plugin at the time time? In the past there were a few plugins whose language files contained additional linebreaks....

Ok, I just did a fresh upload of all S9y 1.1 files, this time I used the tar.gz

Afterwards, it seemed like I still had the same problems.

However, when I did change my default theme from "One True Layout" back to "Serendipity 3.0" it seemed like the feeds are working again?

Is this possible or is it just because the RSS feeds where cached somehow and it was fixed by uploading the new files?

I mean: it seems that the RSS feed are not theme-related, right?

Anyhow: I am happy that it's working again...

Hi!

Where is that "One True Layout" downloaded from? It might be related to the theme's config.inc.php file.

RSS-Feeds ARE theme related! A theme can style the RSS-Feeds.

Uh, I think it comes standard with the latest 1.1? I installed trough the manage Style backend (Spartacus?)

Hi!

No, One-true-layout comes from spartacus, not 1.1. I just found it there.

Can you try to rename config.inc.php to config.inc.old temporarily and see if that fixes the RSS-feed issue, too?

Uh sure, but my feed is currently working again so I kinda miss the point of doing that? Could you elaborate a bit on that?

It works for me.

Hi hgoor!

Well, if you intend to not use that theme, of course we can discard finding the root of this problem. Your call, I thought you wanted to know what the issue is.
