So I have been updating my Joomla book website, I discovered a problem with my RSS. Ironically, I discuss exactly NOT doing what I did in the book, but do as I say, not what I do (or something). The problem was was that I had used a raw RSS URL for my feed My own advice that I failed to take is always to push a Joomla RSS url into a service like Feedburner. Then you can change the pushed URL as much as you like, then just edit it in (say) the Feedburner settings. RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index\.php\?format=feed&type=rss(.*)\ HTTP/ RewriteRule ^index\.php$ http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheJoomlaBook/ [R=301,L] To make sure that there would not be any conflicts, I used the raw URL directly to the category in Feedburner: http://www.joombook.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=7&format=feed&type=rss Don't make my mistake, listen to that clever Barrie North guy and Never Use Raw RSS URL's in Joomla! |
