	@Pinnacle: Since this mod uses its own version of the display routine it makes sense that the Enable HTML mod won't work. You might try manually adding the Enable HTML code to the RSS_Display.pl file. I would hold off for a day or two though for the next beta which fixes some problems. @CDTrips: I worked out how to remove extra spaces so that will be fixed in the next beta. Turned out to be a lot more work than I anticipated. There are all sorts of blank characters that count as spaces and annoy the validators. Next, I'm working on using user display names instead of usernames. Dan

	Looks pretty good man. I tried it in my browser first but I just missed it was RSS. But I have an rss reader running and got your few messages. Looks cool. -Jazhawk

	I guess the formatting can be pretty extensive if you want it to be. Check this one out in your reader. Has his own logo and everything inserted before the Feed and Title. http://www.hutteman.com/weblog/rss.xml He added the logo with this code within the channel info. - <image> <title>public virtual MemoryStream</title> <url>http://www.hutteman.com/pvm.png</url>; <link>http://www.hutteman.com/weblog/</link>; <width>88</width> <height>31</height> <description>Luke Hutteman on Java, .NET, J2EE, RSS and whatever else comes to mind...</description> </image>

	<bump for 1.0beta4, see first post> Updates in beta 4: Moved RSS routine out of Subs.pl and into RSS_Display.pl. Fixed validation problems with weird characters. Uses Display Names instead of usernames for post authors. Added Feed logo. Added post summaries. Added Author and Board fields. Simplified post description. I tested this beta on the SharpReader RSS reader. If you use a different reader I'd like to know how the new beta is working. Please test the RSS Feed in the first post. Thanks. Dan

	I do not know if it matters in the overall scheme of things or not as the latest version works great and I like the logo portion, however using the validator I posted previously I am still getting validation errors in the following fields; 1. Undefined item element: date 19 0 2. Undefined item element: creator 20 0 3. Undefined item element: subject 21 0

	The rss.scripting.com validator doesn't like the Dublin Core ( dc: ) library which the mod calls. Other validators I tried don't object to this. I tried some other rss feeds from popular sites with the rss.scripting.com validator and it doesn't like very many of them but they still work fine in the reader. Dan

	@CDTrips: Try your board named <-gLu-> again using the version of the RSS_Display.pl file attached to this post (assuming you have already installed beta 4). I added some more filters that should fix the problem you are having with the invalid characters in the board name. I added similar filters to all the user and admin inputs so hopefully that should take care of some of the invalid character problems. I still have a problem with non-english characters like á and ñ. I'm not sure how I'm going to fix those. Dan Edit: removed file attchment as new beta out.

	Great, I will try it as soon as I get home. FYI... I did not know if you had Member Level Access boards on your forum or not to test this, but I have boards that only certain mebers can see and they do not show up in the reader.

	I took care of the non-english character problems and updated the file attached to my last post. Now the following characters will work without annoying the RSS reader: Quote: Ã Ä Å Æ Ç È É Ê Ë Ì Í Î Ï Ð Ñ Ò Ó Ô Õ Ö Ø Ù Ú Û Ü Ý Þ ß à á â ã ä å æ ç è é ê ë ì í î ï ð ñ ò ó ô õ ö ÷ ø ù ú û ü ý þ ÿ If anyone notices that their favorite letter is missing from the list and wants to see it added, please let me know the letter and the html character code that goes with it. Thanks.

	I posted this in another section of the board... Quote: Well, I installed the mod and it doesn't seem to work... My aggregator tries to access the rss, but quits after it doesn't find anything. One question... Could it have anything to do with the fact that my path is www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/community/YaBB.pl?action=rss instead of www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?action=rss? I'm using Beta 3, it looks like -- weird, because I downloaded from the "latest" link... Anyway, I will download Beta 4. Any suggestions to upgrading? Do I only have to upload the .pl file or do I have to reinstall the entire mod? Tim

This is where the error is showing up. Error parsing RSS XML: Undefined root element: Item [1]<title>Using this Discussion Forum...</title> If you remove them then that will narrow it down but I have a feeling that will do it. Are you using Beta 4 with 5.pl as stated above?

I did not know if you had Member Level Access boards on your forum or not to test this, but I have boards that only certain mebers can see and they do not show up in the reader. This is a real problem, the user cookie info is not being read. I'll have to copy the cookie code into the RSS_Display file so it can be read. Edit: Thinking about this, it makes sense that the cookie is not read because the cookie info is specific to the browser the user used in logging in. Since an RSS reader is not necessarily a browser, the YaBB script should treat the user as a guest. The SharpReader uses the IE activeX control so when I was looking at my RSS feed it was reading the cookie fine. I'm going to have to write a new routine to have the admin pick from the list of available boards and check the ones that should be available to the RSS feed, bypassing any member/guest considerations.

	All right... I installed Beta v4, and it's still not working for me. When I attempt to retrieve the feed in my aggregator, it acts like it is retrieving (as it did previoulsy), but nothing appears in the News Pane. When I view the RSS source, it HAS retrieved the correct source -- at least, it shows the message board's entries in the RSS source. Any ideas? Thanks, Tim
