Missing element in RSS feeds
RSS feeds should have a guid element for each item. That way, RSS readers don't duplicate items. 1.3 does this.

Re: Missing element in RSS feeds
Might it also be worthwhile adding the 'atom:link rel="self"' tag too?

Re: Missing element in RSS feeds
There is a validation tool for RSS : http://feedvalidator.org/
If the fluxbb feed passes it (totally, meant not even a warning), that's ok..
(not tested myself on 1.4)

Re: Missing element in RSS feeds
You just need to add this to 1.2:
echo
"\t\t".'<guid>'.$pun_config['o_base_url'].'/viewtopic.php?id='.$cur_topic['id'].$url_action.'</guid>'."\r\n";In extern.php - for 1.4 it might be slightly different, but it's an extremely easy fix. You need to do this or else Opera and other crappy RSS readers will improperly read your feeds.

Even if it passes, that doesn't mean it works correctly.

Re: Missing element in RSS feeds
True, but it's an indication of its validity where the standards are concerned. Personally, I prefer the Validome validator for testing XML and suchlike.

Re: Missing element in RSS feeds
To get it to work 100%, you just need to add that bit of code and the Atom links and you're compatible with everything. Convert it to 2.0 and add the RSS icon to your header, and you've got the best RSS solution around.

Re: Missing element in RSS feeds
Be even better if it had Atom output too.
