I’m trying to display a company’s rss feed on Facebook but its outputting relative URL’s, not absolute - linking to the current domain, not facebook.com Eg:

<entry>
    <title> Blah blah blah…</title>
    <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="/posted.php?id=50245567013&share_id=318332860488&comments=1#s318332860488" />
    ...
</entry>

Via.

I’m using Magpie rss - is there a spefic facebook plugin for EE that will fix this or will I have to resort to some jquery magic?

Thanks!

Hi Rick,

Can you clarify this please? As far as I can tell the RSS links do point to other Facebook resources properly.

Cheers

I’m having the same problem. I take a look at the RSS feed and the links are properly setup, but in when parsed by the Magpie plugin it creates relative links.

Wes,

Is there a link you can share along with your template code? Which version and build are you running?

Right now the site is only local, but I’m running 1.6.9 build 20100415.

Wes,

I take a look at the RSS feed and the links are properly setup, but in when parsed by the Magpie plugin it creates relative links.

When I view the source of rick.prince’s feed the links are actually all relative. So it is the feed itself producing the relative links. Easiest fix would be to just add the Facebook URL into your tag. Does that help?

{exp:magpie url="http://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=atom10&id=111111" limit="10" refresh="720"}
<ul>
{items}
<li><a href="http://www.facebook.com{link}">{title}</a></li>
{/items}
</ul>
