Post subject: Anyone with knowledge about RSS?

Hi,

I am using the phpCA mod and its RSS.
It is not giving the correct result in the RSS.
This is the file ads_rss2.php provided with the mod:
Code:
<?

define('IN_PHPBB', true);
$phpbb_root_path = './';
include($phpbb_root_path . 'extension.inc');
include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.'.$phpEx);

$ads_root_path = $phpbb_root_path . 'ads_mod/';
include($ads_root_path . 'ads_common.'.$phpEx);

header("Content-Type: text/xml");

$server_protocol = ( $board_config['cookie_secure'] ) ? 'https://' : 'http://';

$sql = 'SELECT *
      FROM '. ADS_ADVERTS_TABLE .'
      ORDER BY id DESC
      LIMIT 0,5';

$result = $db->sql_query($sql);

$date = date("m/d/Y; G:i:s A T");

$rss_title = "".$board_config['sitename']." Syndication";
$website_url = $server_protocol.$board_config['server_name']."".$board_config['script_path']."".append_sid("index.".$phpEx)."";
$home_url = $server_protocol.$board_config['server_name']."".$board_config['script_path']."";

print ("<!-- RSS generated by ". htmlentities($rss_title) ." on ". htmlentities($date) ." -->\n");
print ("<rss version=\"2.0\">\n\n");
print ("<channel>\n");
print ("<title>". htmlentities($rss_title) ."</title>\n");
print ("<link>". htmlentities($home_url) ."</link>\n");
print ("<description>". htmlentities($rss_title) ."</description>\n");
print ("<language>en-gb</language>\n\n");

while ($row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result))
{
   // Replace censored words
   $title = preg_replace($orig_word, $replacement_word, $row['title']);
   $short_desc = preg_replace($orig_word, $replacement_word, $row['short_desc']);
   $rss_desc =  $row['short_desc'];
   $array = array ( 'ä' => '&auml;', 'ö' => '&ouml;', 'å' => '&aring;', 'Ö' => '&Ouml;', 'Ä' => '&Auml;', 'Å' => '&Aring;' );
   $title = strtr($title, $array );
   $rss_desc = strtr($rss_desc, $array );

   print ("<item>\n");
   print ("<title>" . htmlentities($title) . "</title>\n");
   print ("<link>". htmlentities($home_url) ."ads_item.".$phpEx."?id=" . htmlentities($row['id']) . "</link>\n");
   print ("<description>". htmlentities($rss_desc) . "</description>\n");
   print ("</item>\n\n");
}

print ("</channel>\n");
print ("</rss>");

$db->sql_close();
?>


Using this RSS-feed results in the feed not showing a correct title.
http://www.maskinisten.net/ads_rss2.php
The title is filled with the first line of the short description.
The table phpbb_ads_adverts has fields for title and short_desc so I am a little bit confused why this does not work.

Maybe someone here can see the error.

You've probably noticed the errors with the non-English latin characters? åäöÅÄÖ entities are handled in incorrect order, they should be applied after htmlentities and not before. A better way is to remove the hack altogether and instead define a character set for the RSS feed, ie. change header("Content-Type: text/xml"); to header("Content-Type: text/xml; charset=iso-8859-1");

This is what I have now:

   print ("<link>". htmlentities($home_url) ."ads_item.".$phpEx."?id=" . htmlentities($row['id']) . "</link>\n");
   print ("<description>". htmlentities($rss_desc) . "</description>\n");
   print ("</item>\n\n");
}

print ("</channel>\n");
print ("</rss>");

$db->sql_close();
?>

It works rather well now, besides I still have issues with the RSS feed import mod "FIND INPUT".
