Problem with RSS Feed inFirefox

[Sadmir]

Hi.


I got a error whe you click on the RSS feed on my site. so I replaced a backup that I had from a week ago now the RSS feed works in Safari,, hwever I keep getting an error in Firefox.


I've attached my rss.php file

here is the error that I get in Firefox:

XML Parsing Error: XML or text declaration not at start of entity
Location: http://diigme.com/rss.php?category=&status=&group=
Line Number 1, Column 4:            <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  

Thank you

I wonder if that's caused by the exra spaces in front of the <?xml declaration. I'm not sure why your site produces those spaces, while the Pligg Demo does not.

its strange it was working great for almost 2 weeks and just yesterday i noticed the problem, and right now the error is only i Firefox, I have not tested it yet in IE

I think this has something to do with empty characters at the beginning of your xml file...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rss version="2.0"
xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"
xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/"
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"
>


If you go to your DiigMe.com | Published News and VIEW SOURCE you will see that your feed is there all right, there's just a hiccup loading due to empty spaces preceding the <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> (I guess).

I had the same problem and found a solution. The problem for me was the tweetmeme module. I uninstalled it and the error was gone.

If you don't wanna uninstall it, you can use a simple trick to deactivate it in the rss.php:

rss.php:
<?php
// The source code packaged with this file is Free Software, Copyright (C) 2005 by
// Ricardo Galli <gallir at uib dot es>.
// It's licensed under the AFFERO GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE unless stated otherwise.
// You can get copies of the licenses here:

// AFFERO GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE is also included in the file called "COPYING".

include_once('Smarty.class.php');

$main_smarty = new Smarty;
$rss = 'rss';



modules/tweetmeme/init_tweetmeme.php:

<?php
if(defined('mnminclude') and $rss != 'rss'){
...


So it checks, if it's the rss.php, or not.
