Hi,

I've got a problem with the rss feeds generated by K2.

I know there has been some topics already, but none with really an answer.

The feeds generated by K2 look like :

www. ..../....../....../K2caterogyname.feed

A a 1/2 solution, I regrouped my feeds on a page and added manually at the end of the urls

www. ..../....../....../K2caterogyname.fedd?format=feed&type=rss

(you can have a look there : www.bertrand-sport-avocat.com/droit/contacts/flux-rss.html )

Such rss feeds urls work with FF, but NOT with GChrome nor IE.

Does anyone have a solution ?

Thanks

I think I found why.

It is probably because I have the url rewriting mode on.

If I manually write in the back-end the link of the url :
www.bertrand-sport-avocat.com/droit/index.php?option=com_k2&view=itemlist&layout=category&task=category&id=18&Itemid=503&format=feed


(which works : tried it directly in GReader. It does lead me to the good rss feed)

when i click on the link from the front-end it writes automatically in the url bar :
www. ..../....../....../K2caterogyname.feed

That means the feed links automatically generated by K2 are good, but they get rewrited by the url SEF rewriting rule !

Unfortunately, I have no idea on how to force a non rewriting url rule only for the links of the rss feeds.

In advance, thanks to anyone who would be good enough on url rewriting to help me on this one.

Hi, i have the same problem.
How to solve this?

Thanks

Hi. What's your issue? Applying '?format=feed' to any K2 url will give you the feed.

I use joomla and k2 updated to the latest version. Until a few days ago, the RSS link worked properly. Now, when I click it, I generate an HTML file.

On my site I use the Joomla SEF and SEO with the addition of the suffix html pages.

eg www.website.it/k2categories/threadname.html

when i click I generate a link like this

eg www.website.it/k2categories/threadname.rss

but does not work.

If I disable the extension HTML to joomla, then everything starts to work.

?

Please any help??

I am not quite sure but i think the link should have the .feed extension and not the .rss. I will make some tests on this.

Well, just tested with no issues under Joomla! 2.5.6. Please ensure that you are using the latest stable version of K2 (2.5.7) and that you have not any other SEF extension installed.

Sorry !!

The extension is .feed not .rss

www.website.it/k2categories/threadname.feed

If you try to look this open my page

www.21dieci.it/bloggare/arte/fotografia.html

and click on RSS icon. This page change on

www.21dieci.it/bloggare/arte/fotografia.rss

I have joomla 2.5.6 and K2 2.5.7 and no other SEO application, but NOT WORK!!

If i try to exclude suffix extension on joomla seo, this RSS work

www.21dieci.it/bloggare/arte/fotografia

change to

www.21dieci.it/bloggare/arte/fotografia?format=feed

I finally got a component to have it work : I got ObRss, and at least it works now.
If it could help.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I will not buy any extra software when it is free and should work. Worked before, so I have to sort it out. Thank you.

Hi,
i have create a new site whit new template on latest version of joomla and K2.

The RSS icon work fine, but yesterday also have a same problem!!!

I use a joomla SEO....and i dont understand.!!!

@Gianluca Partengo

Can you post a link to your site?

Sure .... www.21dieci.it/blog.html

Just tested again with no issues. Are you sure that you have no SEF extensions installed? What server are you using? Have you modified the htaccess file? Try to recreate the .htaccess file by the htaccess.txt file that is bundled with Joomla! 2.5.6.

Hi,
therefore,
no application SEO addition, i use this of Joomla. XMAP is the only component that i use whit a K2 plug-in.

htaccess file is NOT been modified. I took the file htaccess.txt and I renamed it .

So probably it has been fixed in the past in the SVN. Please try to install the SVN version of K2 and let me know if that works. You can grab a copy at getk2.org/assets/svn/.

Hi thanks fort his but nothing.

I try to install this version but the problem persit and now, when open on frontend the link "new thread" the popup iframe is no longer the X icon, and if I click on the close button, the window disappears but it loads the site inside.

I was having the same problem. The feed icon in category view when pressed would just return the same page except with '.feed' at the end of the url. If I would turn off the Joomla SEF then the link to the feed would work correctly. I started to try making adjustments to the .htaccess file but decided to take a different approach.

So finally I modified the category.php file:


<?php if($this->params->get('catFeedIcon')): ?>
<!-- RSS feed icon -->
<div class="k2FeedIcon">
<a href="<?php echo $this->feed; ?>?format=feed" title="<?php echo JText::_('K2_SUBSCRIBE_TO_THIS_RSS_FEED'); ?>">
<span><?php echo JText::_('K2_SUBSCRIBE_TO_THIS_RSS_FEED'); ?></span>
</a>
<div class="clr"></div>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>


I placed that '?format=feed' right at the end of the link so it would append it onto the url. Now the feed link works great.
