| Description | When trying to use Composr's RSS and ATOM feed functionality, the feeds do not fully load. |
| Steps to reproduce | 1. Go to admin zone. 2. Under tools, select RSS/ATOM feeds 3. Click a feed (some do it, some don't) 4. Sometimes a feed will not load, and when doing a view page source, it shows the feed didn't load all the way. |
| Additional information | Here's an example of a broken RSS feed:
**BEGIN** <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <?xml-stylesheet href="http://lovinity.org/backend.php?type=xslt-rss&keep_session=1473695932" type="text/xsl"?> <rss version="2.0"> <channel> <title>the Lovinity Community: Forums</title> <link>http://lovinity.org</link> <language>EN</language> <copyright>Copyright the Lovinity Community 2014</copyright> <description>a Community of individuals supporting and loving each other in an effort to make lives better</description> <managingEditor>admin@lovinity.org (the Lovinity Community)</managingEditor> <docs>http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss</docs> <category>love</category> <cloud domain="lovinity.org" port="80" path="/backend_cloud.php?type=RSS2" registerProcedure="xmlStorageSystem.rssPleaseNotify" protocol="xml-rpc" /> <image><url>http://lovinity.org/themes/happy_Thanksgiving/images_custom/9Untitled.png</url><title>the Lovinity Community</title><link>http://lovinity.org</link></image> <webMaster>admin@lovinity.org (the Lovinity Community)</webMaster> <lastBuildDate>Tue, 25 Nov 2014 04:15:38 +0000</lastBuildDate> <generator>Composr</generator> <item> <title>I'm Retromanium</title> <description>Hi, I&#039;m Retromanium. **END** Notice how the feed got cut off. --- You may also want to add a category in the bug tracker for RSS/ATOM . |

Comments
We're using our official addon names as the set of tracker categories, so it'd be 'core' in this case (as rss is a core service). No one is going to lose that much sleep over it though :).
So these ones seem to be failing for you...
cns_members
cns_forumview
news
Also cns_topicview, but this is a separate issue when opened without a topic filter. We will fix also.
On all servers, viewing the topic RSS has a possibility of throwing an error if you view it without a particular topic filter (having a filter is the normal case).
On a minority of servers, if the website is not running utf-8, RSS may fail to display correctly if there are non-ASCII characters. This happens when the server hard-sets a utf-8 mime type that Composr has not specified, even though our XML explicitly gives the correct mime type. Our workaround is to also explicitly set the mime-type where the server is inserting the incorrect one.
