Rss feed not working on same domain
Permalink
Hey,
I have inserted a blog feed to be displayed on the homepage.
The feed comes from a wordpress blog on the same domain.
mysite.com/blog/, and I want the feed on the homepage, mysite.com.
I tested it and added another blog feed from an external site and it worked fine, but for some reason this feed gives the error.
Is there anything on concrete5 that blocks blog feeds on the same domain ?
I'm getting this error message: Oops, it looks like you've entered an invalid feed address!
Cheers.

Brilliant! this was doing my swede in!
I had tried commenting out the validation which cause the "Oops (upside the house)" error message as suggested elsewhere. However on reading this I realised the problem and using Feedburner is elegant as you can automatically feed/update Twitter, Facebook etc from that at the same time, so "muchos kudos" to noXstyle.
Another solution I think would be to allow a referential RSS in the RSS Reader block (ie no http://). If the RSS feed is referenced using /folder/folder/rss - this would require editing the block validation at rss_displayer/add.php so you can put anything in the RSS field when you add the block.
Just a thought for anyone if Feedburner is not a suitable workaround?

Thanks! this works!
What hosting are you using? Most likely the problem resides in your server's configuration, since most hosts have disabled looping back to the same server. You can always check that out with your hosting provider.
Anyhow, you can get around this by using a third party feed burner for your blog feed (e.g. google?) and add that feed to the c5.
Hope that helps.
