Simple Forum 1.06 RSS error

By pgplast - February 7, 2024

Just installed simple forum 1.06 under CMSB 3.64.

All seems to be working save the link to RSS feed.

The error encountered is:

XML Parsing Error: mismatched tag. Expected: </atom:link>.
Location: https://avisitwithjesus.com/forum_avwj/forum-topics.php?rss=1&Christian-Apologetics-4
Line Number 10, Column 17:
               </channel>
----------------^

Any ideas are appreciated.

Hi pgplast, 

Can you try this fix?  

  • Edit /plugins/simpleForum/simpleForum.php
  • Search for: atom:link
  • Replace this line:
            <atom:link href="<?php echo htmlEncode(thisPageUrl()); ?>" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml">​
  • With this (adding / before > at end of line:
            <atom:link href="<?php echo htmlEncode(thisPageUrl()); ?>" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" />​

Let me know if that fixes it and we'll release an update to the plugin.

Thanks!
