Hello,

I'm working with a client who is trying to get their RSS feed from a Drupal 6 site into a mobile App they created.

However, the Drupal RSS Feed isn't compatible with their mobile App RSS reader.

Error: Missing atom:link with rel="self"

Validator.w3.org suggests I insert a "atom:link" to your feed in the channel section.

Any clues on the easiest way to get this into my Drupal 6 RSS feed?

Thanks,
Corey

If you're using the most recent version of Views, it should be pretty easy to create a view that has a feed / rss display formatted in the way you'd expect to see in a RSS feed. Otherwise, you could try the Views RSS module: https://drupal.org/project/views_rss.

Note that this has been discussed in the issue queue. Still the case in D7 . I don't think their reader should really be tossing its cookies over a suggested syntax - but nonetheless, see

https://drupal.org/node/365498

Personally in D6 I would use the views RSS module and tart the feed up any way you like.

Ok, I'll take a look at installing the views RSS module. I had already downloaded it.

I did see those other discussions on Drupal.org, but they didn't seem to have any definitive answers.

It's not really how the RSS feed looks, but more of a compatibility issue with the XML that's kicked out by the Drupal 6 RSS feed.

Cheers,
Corey
