ATOM feed broken

aurimas · August 8, 2012

The ATOM feed for the entire forum appears to be broken. http://forums.zotero.org/search.php?PostBackAction=Search&Advanced=1&Type=Comments&Feed=ATOM

This is essentially the link for the ATOM feed from the General category with the Category argument removed. It's been working fine for the lady several months, but stopped yesterday. The error on that page reads "error on line 2293 at column 45: PCDATA invalid Char value 28"

It worked for me in Firefox and Chrome, but I've fixed the invalid characters from a post that were getting through.

Thanks. That fixed it. I got that error from the Android browser. It was also breaking on the RSSDemon App on Android.

It's broken again. This time, it's entry id http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/25305/?Focus=134468#Comment_134468

The summary section should either be CDATA'ed or XML encoded. The ampersand is not being escaped in this case. I can't find any reference to this online, but could this be fixed by Faolan or whoever is in charge of this? I could propose a patch if that would be helpful.

It wasn't an unescaped ampersand—it was two invalid characters in the Summary field. I've fixed that to not happen again. Thanks.
