    Very odd, work fine in NetNewsWire and other aggregators. However Safari and Mail don’t like them anymore. They used to work just fine, but last week they stopped. No change to the templates or data.

    Sample RSS feed (can’t post link to actual feed for privacy reasons):

    {assign_variable:master_weblog_name="blog-community"}
    {exp:rss:feed weblog="{master_weblog_name}"}
    
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="{encoding}"?>
    <rss version="2.0"
        xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
        xmlns:sy="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/"
        xmlns:admin="http://webns.net/mvcb/"
        xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
        xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"
        xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
    
        <channel>
        
        <title>{exp:xml_encode} Community Blog {/exp:xml_encode}</title>
        <link>{weblog_url}</link>
        <atom:link href="http://www.example.org/index.php/rss/{master_weblog_name}" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" >
        <description>{weblog_description}</description>
        <dc:language>{weblog_language}</dc:language>
        <dc:creator>{email}</dc:creator>
        <dc:rights>Copyright {gmt_date format="%Y"}</dc:rights>
        <dc:date>{gmt_date format="%Y-%m-%dT%H:%i:%s%Q"}</dc:date>
        <admin:generatorAgent rdf:resource="http://expressionengine.com/" >
        
    {exp:weblog:entries weblog="{master_weblog_name}" limit="10" rdf="off" dynamic_start="on" disable="member_data|trackbacks"}
        <item>
          <title>{exp:xml_encode}{title}{/exp:xml_encode}</title>
          <link>{title_permalink=community-life/blog-post/}</link>
          <guid>{title_permalink=community-life/blog-post/}#When:{gmt_entry_date format="%H:%i:%sZ"}</guid>
          <description><![CDATA[{full_post}]]></description>
          <dc:subject>{exp:xml_encode}{categories backspace="1"}{category_name}, {/categories}{/exp:xml_encode}</dc:subject>
          <dc:date>{gmt_entry_date format="%Y-%m-%dT%H:%i:%s%Q"}</dc:date>
        </item>
    {/exp:weblog:entries}
        
        </channel>
    </rss>
    
    {/exp:rss:feed}

    They validate just fine on the RSS validation pages.

    What version and build of EE are you using? Do you’ve got a link to the feed?

    My RSS isn’t working either. For some reason the following line is added to the top of my RSS output:

    <ee:last_update>1289010639</ee:last_update>

    I would think that this would have something to do with caching but I don’t have caching enabled. If, for some reason, it is from caching then this would also explain why my view tracking quit working.

    As always, thanks for your efforts.

    EDIT: ExpressionEngine v2.1.1 Build: 20101020

    Oops ... Just realized that my search brought me to the EE1 Tech Support Forums ... Posting in the EE2 now.

    I also can’t get my feed to work properly on Safari.  It works fine on Google Reader, but Safari won’t show the item’s title or source—only the date and time.  Anyone know what to do?

    Hi Jules,

    Which version and build of EE and which version of Safari are you using? Has the feed worked at any point before or you just can’t get it to display? Do you have a link to it please?

    Cheers

    Greg

    Thanks for responding Greg.  I found a template somewhere in the forum that worked.  (Unlike several other ones also mentioned in the forum.)  I can’t find it now, otherwise I would add a link.

    To confirm Jules, are you up and running now?

    Yes, I am up and running now.  I also found the template that worked for me in the wiki.  (The two sources mentioned at the end of that article, however, did not work.)
