Annoying RSS feed bug

There is a REALLY ANNOYING bug where iWeb inserts the site name in the RSS feed like this
http://www.site.com/site/blog/rss.xml
when it should be like this
http://www.site.com/blog/rss.xml
I find I have to edit all the files manually in something like Komodo to fix this or my RSS feeds simply do not work.
There is another REALLY ANNOYING bug where a mobile me script for search is inserted in the blog page html even when search is not enabled on the page
e.g.
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.me.com/1/up/comments/scripts/search.js"></script>
This causes a massive delay in the page loading
I find I have to edit the blog html page manually deleting this line. Then that page loads nice and fast.
Question is how to fix these permanently so I never have to edit all these fies every time I add or change a blog entry.

Why do you think it's a bug and why "should it be."
And on whose orders?
But let me guess.
You elected to put the content of the site folder in the root of the server?
If you did, you broke links.
Any way, read this :

The most common "fix" so far has been to uninstall Fring - do you have that installed ?

Safari RSS feeds flicker after iCloud

After I synced iCloud for first time all the RSS feeds in my Safari bookmarks flicker on and off (they show the amount of feeds for a split second and then don't show the numbers for another split second). That effect make all the bookmarks to move right and left like crazy, this is such an annoying and weird bug...
any help?

It turns out that deleting those Database files seemed to clear everything up (though it did reset all of my feeds. No major loss).

Mail RSS Feeds Stopped Updating

Hi there,
In the past week, I've noticed that my Mail RSS feeds have stopped updating and I'm also unable to open/subscribe to new RSS feeds.
When I try to click on a new RSS feed in Safari, I get the following error message:
Safari can’t open the page “feed://www.vanilladays.com/feed/”. The error was: “Operation could not be completed. (Mach error 268435460 - (ipc/send) timed out)” (NSMachErrorDomain:268435460) Please choose Report Bugs to Apple from the Safari menu, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message.
In parallel to this, I've noticed that Safari is is also taking around 5 minutes to load (the is normal once loaded). I've got a separate topic about this.
Any ideas on what I can do to fix this? I was having these problems before I updated OSX yesterday.
Thanks for any help,
Ste

i was able to find this on another website...
CXL: Safari fails to display RSS feeds when CPU is under load or free disk space on system drive is small. That pretty much sums it up. It's annoying, too, because if Time Machine is doing its hourly backup or I'm converting video files, Safari's RSS display repeatedly fails with the same error message: "Mach errore 268451843 - (ipc/rcv) timed out" or "NSMachErrorDomain:268451843". Under the same conditions, Safari fetches and displays normal webpages perfectly fine. Filed: 5610533.
but this doesn't make sense, I have about 4.5 GB free on my startup drive....
i also found this apple thread which is about the same issue, but also has no resolution..
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7418974
if anyone figures anything out please help! thank you!

RSS Feeds in Mail 3.0 Keep Appearing as Unread even When Read and Deleted

Hi there,
I've just upgraded to Leopard (10.5, 9A581) and was pleased to find that Mail 3.0 (912.1/912) now has RSS feed capability.
However, I've noticed a problem and it's very annoying. Every time I quit Mail and re-open it, it displays ALL my RSS feeds as new as unread, even though I had previously read them and actually deleted them.
I assume this is a bug but hope it can be fixed soon as it's making RSS reading in Mail unusable. I have 198 RSS feeds and my Mail icon is currently showing 651 unread messages as there are 651 RSS items that I have previously read and deleted within Mail 3.0. In fact, I've deleted them all three times today alone but I'm not doing it again as I'm wasting my time, as every time I quit Mail and open it again, they all re-appear.
Thanks for any advice on this.
Ste

I'm getting the same behavior in 10.5.1 with Mail 3.1.

?How do I Remove RSS Feeds from my Email account?

I set up some RSS feeds in my mac email account?
Please don't tell me to "right-click" my mouse because I am using a macbook and I have no mouse, just the track-pad and right-clicking it does nothing different than left-clicking it. Or for that matter, than standing on my head and singing Celine Dion. Other than annoying my girlfriend.
I have tried setting my preferences to manual update, even to making Safari the default RSS reader but I can't remove the feeds themselves from the email account.
I have a Macbook, use Safari, Leopard, OS X 10.5 if that helps.
Thanks in advance,
Keith

Dude, first the right-click thing... You can achieve the equivalent by holding down the control key and clicking -- you'll see a contextual menu pop up. Cool, huh?
Now, control-click on that unwanted RSS feed and choose delete feed. Happy day!

When I click on a link in an RSS feed it used to indicate that I'd viewed that particular link by changing the icon to the left of the link. It doesn't do that anymore. [SOLVED]

When I click on a link in an RSS feed it used to indicate that I'd viewed that particular link by changing the icon to the left of the link. It doesn't do that anymore. This started happening right around the time I updated to Firefox 4, but may have been a little before that too. For some things, like news and web comics it's just a little annoying. For important things like looking for new journal articles for my job, it literally makes my job more difficult. So fixing this would make my day.

I seem to have solved my own problem. When I disabled the add-on "Tab Renamizer" everything started working fine.

IWeb09 RSS Feed Button not providing the correct URL

I use iWeb 3.0.1 and MobileMe to host my own domain. However, I want to add a Blog with RSS feed. When I insert the RSS Feed button it creates a link to http://www.<domain>/username>/Blog/rss.xml. This doesn't work in RSS readers since the path is not valid.
However, if I manually edit my RSS reader to point to http://web.me.com/<domain>/<username>/Blog/rss.xml it correctly finds the RSS XML file indicating that the Blog pages are being published correctly.
Is there a bug in iWeb or have I not configured something properly? I can't find a way to manually edit the RSS feed button.

Your domain uses URL forwarding with masking. It has no meaning for links. It's just cosmetics.
This is the webpage that counts :
http://web.me.com/philipksmith/philipksmith/Blog/Blog.html
The blue RSS button is the wrong one.
!http://www.wyodor.net/_Discussions/WrongRSSButton.png!
Why not enable personal domain and use your domainname properly.
To use your domainname, follow the instructions in your MobileMe account where you setup Personal Domain:
https://secure.me.com/account/
Where you'll find a link to [iWeb: Using your own domain name|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1107]
Or read it in the [MobileMe help|http://help.apple.com/mac/1/help> : Account > Setting up a Personal Domain
You can have only one domainame with Personal Domain at MobileMe. To use the other one you have to enable URL forwarding where you host your domainname.

"Enter your name and password to update the RSS feed"

I keep getting a pop-up from Safari (even when it's in the background) that says:
+*Enter your name and password to update the RSS feed*+
How on earth do I disable this? It is asking for a username and password for Twitter so I must have clicked an RSS feed link there, but after searching like mad, I can't figure out where Safari looks for RSS at on my system.

Same here,
It says:
<<Enter your name and password to update the RSS feed.
To update teh RSS feed "Gmail - Inbox for [email protected]", you need to log in to the area "New mail feed" on mail.google.com. Your password will be sent in clear text.
Name: (blank field)
Password: (blank field)
O Remember this password in my keychain. >>
This started occurring immediately after updating to safari 4.
I tried disabling the automatic RSS updates in safari preferences, set it to "never" as suggested, but the annoying window keeps on popping up.
So the original question is still not answered for me.
It seems to me that all people reporting this problem are OSX Tiger (10.4.11) users

Mail RSS Feed Problem

Hello, I've got a problem with my RSS feeds in Mail and it's driving me nuts. I had a number of feeds which were all working properly and suddenly my craigslist feeds stopped. All previous and new feeds still work but the craigslist feeds give me the error "There was an error updating the RSS feed “santabarbara.craigslist.org” - The requested URL was not found on this server."
I thought it might be a problem with craigslist but their feed works fine in my Firefox Live Bookmarks. It only appears to not be working in Mail. It was around the time of the 10.6.4 update but I can't be certain. I'm thinking it could be some sort of cache issue for just that site but don't know how to check.
One of the feeds is http://santabarbara.craigslist.org/med/index.rss
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Rob

When you say you tried Safari & Firefox to read feeds from CraigsList, do you mean just loading the RSS URL's (e.g. http://santabarbara.craigslist.org/med/index.rss ) into the browser directly? For myself, CraigsList RSS feeds don't load in Safari 5 either but it does seem to work via Firefox 3.6.3. I bet this might have been the WebKit (Safari 5) update that broke something.
And yes, my CraigsList RSS feeds broke in Apple Mail too (which is what brought me here). I filed a Radar bug ( rdar://problem/8161076 ) to alert Apple internal people.

Firefox 13.0+ bookmarked RSS feeds won't auto refresh

Hello. Since Firefox 13.0 and above (up to the latest 17 pre alpha nightly) the feature that allows your bookmarked RSS feeds to be automatically updated is GONE. Previously popular browser.bookmarks.livemark_refresh_seconds (I had to enter this value) either broken or does not exist in the latest FF versions, it is simply does not work.
I've tried everything, starting from disabling add-ons to safe mode but nothing helps in solving this problem. Could you please tell if this is a bug or this feature is no longer supported in Firefox so I can stop bothering and switch to another browser
Best Regards

Yes, you now need to refresh the live feed items manually because live feeds now work as regular bookmarks.<br />
Only the initial loading is automatic the first time you open a live feed bookmark.

Display RSS feed from external site on my page

HI,
I need to know if it is possible with CFMX7 to grab rss feeds
from a remote location and just display it on my site?
How to?

well, cf8 has a new <cffeed> tag... and though i have
not ever needed to
use it (i prefer to create my feeds manually), it is
*supposed to* make
creating and consuming (readin) rss and atom feeds a
breeze... but
judging by many a blog posts, it is not without bugs...
google <cffeed>, and check out ray camden's blog at
coldfusionjedi.com
for many posts on this tag
but there is really nothing stopping you from using
<cfhttp> + <cfxml>
tags in cf7 to achieve what you want...
as for porting cf7 apps to cf8 - it is usually painless, but
depending
on the complexity of your server/hardware configuration, it
may require
close attention to minute details
just to check if you code runs fine in cf8, there is a code
analyser
available in cf admin.

RSS feeds for discussions limited to the 20 messages

I wanted to follow the 'Rube Goldberg' discussion via RSS. The RSS feed (http://forums.ni.com/ni/rss/message?board.id=BreakPoint&message.id=6821) only returns the first 20 messages from the discussion.
I consider this a bug, if the feed is limited it should feed the last 20 messages.

Alternate ways to update RSS Feed URL in iTunes Store

Hey all,
Ok, so I am having issues with updating my iTunes Store RSS URL. Here's the storyin a nutshell. If any of you have experience with this i would really appreciate some help, because I have been stuck for week now.
I started my podcast using Podbean.com as a host, and when I first submitted my podcast URL to th iTunes Store, I used the RSS URL that podbean gave me which was http://unfilteredandrew.podbean.com/feed/. A few weeks later, I decided to move my host to SquareSpace, therefore I have a new RSS URL for the podcast now. I understand the directions frovided by Apple on how to change the URL by inserting the <itunes:new-feed-url> tags into the XML file. This is where the problem lies. Podbean.com is not able to instert this tag into my the XML file (its a long story, I have been dealing with thier incompitent customer service for weeks now). Let's assume for now that this method is not optional.
SO my question to you guys is - is there another way to update the RSS URL feed? Currently the iTunes Store see's http://unfilteredandrew.podbean.com/feed/as my RSS feed, but I want it to see the NEW one which is: http://andrewunfiltered.squarespace.com/podcast?format=rss
Please help!!
Kellen

Ignore the 301 redirect - this is really intended for other rss readers than iTunes.
If you are creating a feed somehow and submitting that to Feedburner, which then passes it on to iTunes, and if you can add the tag to that original feed it will also appear in the Feedburner feed and the redirect will take place.
If you are creating the feed only in Feedburner by entering details, there you cannot directly edit the feed - I don't know whether Feedburner provides a way of doing this: most online podcast creation services don't.
If that's the case then you will have to abaondon the old feed. You should attempt to get the old podcast removed from the Store - instructions here (though there have been a number of reports that iTunes Store staff are simply not bothering to carry out this process) - and submit your new feed as an entirely new podcast. You will probably need to make a small change in the title, as a bug in the Store software may tell you that the podcast has already been submitted: and of course you will lose any subscribers or comments.

Automatic Download of RSS Feed Content

Hi,
I have read a number of posts on rss feeds, saying that it wasnt possible to see the entire article in the mail application without clicking on "read more".
What I want to know is if there is any way to automatically download all content, so that when the computer is offline, i can click on "read more" and see the article.
thanks for your help
raph

The feeds that don't show the entire article don't have the full text of the post in the feed so there's no additional content to download (it's already getting everything in the feed). It'd display the same in any RSS reader because those feeds are only showing summaries or part of the article.
That said, it's definitely kind of annoying how the "read more" link shows up even if the full text of the post is in the feed. It really should only show up if the feed doesn't have the full text.
