I just wish VbScript was able to get the UT or GMT time, it would make settings times throughout the forum, including RSS Feeds much simpler.]]> Mon, 24 Apr 2006 11:14:20 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/rss-bug_topic18602_post105391.html#105391 <![CDATA[RSS Bug : Many thanks for a prompt reply....]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/rss-bug_topic18602_post105390.html#105390 Author: Ritchie

I've just checked and the date and time format should be set to 'UT' for Universal time as setout in the following specification:-

http://www.sendmail.org/rfc/0822.html#5

If you need to change this for your own forum you can do so by editing the files beginning with RSS_ and changing the following part to your own time zone:-

strTimeZone = "UT"

Change the part 'UT' to your own time zone as setout in the RFC specifications.

According the the RFC date time format used for RSS 'GMT' is an acceptable time format for Greenwich meantime, and they recommend that you use that.

I will do some tests though and see if altering it will make much difference.

I have understood all. But the basic problem that different news agregators display absolutely different time of the publication! In Opera time shift of 5 hours, and in in Feed Demon 4 hours!

If to make some changes in a code, RSS the tape will be correctly displayed in all News readers. For this purpose it is necessary to represent date thus

Instead of


<lastBuildDate> Mon, 24 Apr 2006 1:06:00 PM GMT </lastBuildDate>
 
 
To change so
 
<lastBuildDate> Mon, 24 Apr 2006 1:06:00 PM +0400 </lastBuildDate>

At such change date correctly will be displayed for for example for Moscow in view of shift in time.

The time difference is that the publish date uses the server time in RTF format as required for RSS Feeds.

The posted date, within the actual News Item, is HTML and therefore uses the date/time format set by the forum admin and also includes any date/time off-set the forum admin has set.]]> Mon, 24 Apr 2006 09:02:48 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/rss-bug_topic18602_post105367.html#105367 <![CDATA[RSS Bug : There is a problem with display...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/rss-bug_topic18602_post105360.html#105360 Author: Ritchie

There is a problem with display of date of messages in RSS to a tape. In different RSS readers the problem proves on a miscellaneous. Whether it is possible to solve the given problem?

Thanks clovis, something I didn't know about.

I'll have to do some testing and find a solution to this.

Hi Borg,

If you insert the character "&" in the title of a forum or a topic then the RSS produces an error when rendering. Here is the message (in french) I get :

"Erreur d'analyse XML : mal formé
Emplacement : http://www.mywebsite.com/forum/rss_forum_feed.asp
Numéro de ligne 18, Colonne 18 :   <title>Something & another : My topic title</title>
-----------------^"

It might be the same case with other special characters.

Hope it helps.
