RSS feed display and RDF namespaces

@johntarling could you try this patch and see if it validates please?

For the records, this code was introduced in #1301788: RSS Feed - Title plus teaser --- still grabs default node view?.

This patch seems to be against views 3.1 and not views 3.x-dev, because the patch doesn't apply anymore.

I applied this patch against the latest dev dated 02-22-2012 and still receive the error, the link I use is:
http://access.v-community.com/taxonomy/term/16/all/feed
I used the validation service:
http://validator.w3.org/feed/

I am still seeing errors, rather then paste the entire thing here as it is all greek to me I just gave the links I used above.

If there is another place I should verify or test the feed for better results, let me know.

Thanks for testing @johntarling and @Jim Ruby. ok, we shouldn't override the default rss namespaces.

Ok, this one worked using patch in 5

but I still received:

This feed is valid, but interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could

Rerolled for coding style, commit credit goes to scor.

ah! I thought Views had its own coding style that's why I left that elseif untouched. maybe that has changed, would be curious to know...

I think views has no different coding style, but the one from core,
even i personally don't like "elseif". Just the fact that you can't use that in javascript is such a mess.

Thanks for the patch. Committed to 7.x-3.x

This is still not working right using rss formatter module too
If I can get some more help on this I sure would appreciate it:

I received this feed back and I am using the pach so the feed validates fine
in my content type display rss I have
file
Label display for file
Above
Formatter for file
RSS enclosure
Archives
Label display for Archives
Above
Formatter for Archives
RSS category

I am still getting feed back saying they can't get the files.

The reason this podcast says it is an unsupported format is that it is a straight RSS feed, not an RSS feed with enclosures.

You can add the feed URL to an RSS reader to be notified when new articles are posted, but since the links to the audio files are embedded in the body of the aricle and not linked as "attachments" BPP, nor any other podcast client unless it can parse the description tag for links, will be able to automatically download the files.

As of recently, when you try to update the podcast feed, you are told it's an unsupported format. Here's the feed if you want to give it a try:
Tek Talk Archives Url http://accessibleworld.org/taxonomy/term/16/all/feed

@Jim Ruby what module are you referring to? http://drupal.org/project/rss_field_formatters ?

Yes
http://drupal.org/project/rss_field_formatters
is the module, so should I re post this over there? as it seemed to be working fine before RDF namespaces got mest up as far as I can tell.

@Jim Ruby yes please create an issue against that module explaining step by step how to reproduce the problem, and I'll try to take a look.

I have created it, you can find it at:
feed validation does not see enclosures
http://drupal.org/node/1505362

Glad to know this fix has been found!
We've got a production site going live I can't justify pushing views-dev (or views-patched) onto, so I came up with a small repair-job that runs to fix this problem ... until this patch gets a stable release.

Just thought I'd post it here for reference.

/**
 * views_plugin_row_node_rss adds
 * all site namespaces to the feed incorrectly.
 *
 * Up to (at least) "7.x-3.3" 2012-Feb-22
 *
 * I need to repair it on the way out as it's rendering views_view_row_rss
 * HOOK_preprocess_views_view_row_rss
 *
 * This gets fixed in http://drupal.org/node/1418890#comment-5691200
 **/
function HOOK_preprocess_views_view_row_rss(&$element) {
  // The problem is in the view->style_plugin->namespaces
  $namespaces = &$element['view']->style_plugin->namespaces;
  foreach ($namespaces as $prefix => $uri) {
    if (! strstr($prefix, ':')) {
      // Need to force xmlns onto the front of the prefix.
      unset($namespaces[$prefix]);
      $namespaces['xmlns:' . $prefix] = $uri;
    }
  }
}

Sorry for the bump on a closed issue, but until the patch has gone into a release, this bug is still active in the wild.

I do not understand this, but sure could use the fix. would it be in the dev release yet?

yes, that fix is in the current dev release that you can download from http://drupal.org/node/608852

I presume a work around for this would be to just create a views-views-rss.tpl.php for my own theme to over-ride it.

why not?

added code tags around rss tag
