none of the feeds i have created will run in my feed readers.
format of feeds is as follows.
http://www.domain.co.uk/news/rss.php?feed=new_news

They appear correct if pasted into a browser but wont run in normal feed readers
rss2html
or
feed2html

pls advise why they dont run in normal feed readers...

There is a bug in 3.3 regarding the RSS feeds. if you create a new feed and select some categories for that feed which have no news articles assigned to them it won't show properly. Simply add some articles and the feeds should show properly.

rss system simply may or may not work....
quite often the error message is

Warning
: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in
/home/sites/lowaprcredit.co.uk/public_html/news/rss.php
on line
134

and this is affected by whether "Amount of posts to display:" in the rss section of control panel. If its set for anything other than zero. then this may be seen but not allways.

sometimes feeds can be read at online feedreader http://m.simplepie.org/
and sometimes not.

feeds never work with feed2html or rss2html feedreaders

ive had to give up

There is a bug in the RSS Feeds. 3.4 is due to be released any day now chi fixes this problem. Best advice is to hold tight and wait for it to be released then upgrade to it.

I've just a lot of testing to do as the entire database class has been rewritten but I'm aiming for the next few days hopefully before Christmas.
