Comments RSS not working

benjancewicz

Hi everyone,
I'm having trouble with my comments RSS feed; it's not showing up with any comments in it: http://www.zerflin.com/ZenPhoto/rss-comments.php

I'm running 1.1.6

What can I check?

I see this error in my navigator :

Reference to undeclared namespace prefix: 'dc'.
Line: 20 Character: 13

<dc:creator>Jocelyn</dc:creator>

It's working in my new reader (NetNewWire 3.1.6 on Mac OS X), I see 13 comments. Everything as it is supposed to be. What reader do you have the issues with?

But indeed the W3 validator notes three errors:
`line 19, column 127: Invalid character in a URI: ' ' [help]

... hosen Dance Company City Paper Ad.jpg]]>

^

line 20, column 0: XML parsing error: :20:0: unbound prefix [help]

In addition, interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendation.

line 6, column 98: Self reference doesn't match document location [help]

... rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" />`

I think l understadn line 19 (special chars not encoded, my fault) and line 20 (also my fault). I will correct them for probably tomorrows nightly. Actually I don't understand line 6...

I tried the page with FireFox v2.0.0.14 and InternetExplorer v7
I tried it also with Opera, NetScape and Safari => same error.

Ok, I guess the <dc:creator></dc:creator> part just should be deleted and replaced by (accordingly to the specs here: http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/rss/rss.html) We don't have that in the other feed that validates, so that should do no harm.

I'm on FireFox v2.0.0.14.
Should I download the nightly?

acrylian

Yes. please (actually you don't need to update your install, the feed should work with 1.1.6, too)
