Description

Firefox has the RSS feed reader function removed for some while now, MS Edge still carries it. You can add a feed into MS Outlook.

When you add the Feed Indicator add-on to Firefox, it will display RSS feeds available (if you turned the feature on in the Control Panels.

So you can have Outlook and Firefox display, for instance, the Article feed from your Tiki. It will display just headlines and the introduction, and display a link to read the full article. But that link is broken...

Example: Link to article #72 is this:

Copy to clipboard
WEBSITE/tiki-read_article.php%3FarticleId%3D72


This will only produce a 500 Internal Server Error... The correct syntax would have been:

Copy to clipboard
WEBSITE/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=72


A look into the generated XML shows this:

Copy to clipboard
<entry>
<title type="html">TITLE TEXT</title>
<summary type="html">
<strong>HEADLINE</strong>
</summary>
<published>2022-03-02T03:53:00+00:00</published>
<updated>2022-03-02T03:53:00+00:00</updated>
<link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="WEBSITE/tiki-read_article.php%3FarticleId%3D72"/>
<id>
WEBSITE/tiki-read_article.php%3FarticleId%3D72
</id>
</entry>


So both the question mark and the equals sign got encoded into hex, which shouldn't be...
