Nuts. I’m using Magpie to show a Facebook feed:

{exp:magpie url="http://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=atom10&id=273491097785" limit="5" refresh="500"}
<ul>
{items}
<li>{title}  <a href="http://{link}">See on Facebook ></a></li>
{/items}
</ul>
{/exp:magpie}

Unfortunately, some of the links are coming in as “/WaterwayCove/posts/496878202785” which of course throws off my link.

Others are coming in as complete URLs like “http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=7200956&id=273491097785&comments;” or “http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=203293&id=273491097785&comments;”

Is there any way to use EE to get around this wackiness?

You might use a little php…

(untested):

{exp:magpie url="http://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=atom10&id=273491097785" limit="5" refresh="500"}
<ul>
{items}
<li>{title}  <a href="http://&lt?php$link">See on Facebook ></a></li>
{/items}
</ul>
{/exp:magpie}

for some reason it isn’t letting me post in this code. replace insert_here with “{link}”;
