Doesn’t it always annoy you that when you click on the link to the RSS feed of a textpattern site, firefox prompts you to download a file, instead of the feed being displayed in the browser window? no? well, it really annoys me.
So, after working for about 2 seconds, I managed to find and fix the problem with textpattern’s RSS feed. You see, textpattern serves it’s feeds as “application/rss+xml”, which causes the RSS feed to not be recognized by Firefox as a renderable XML file. However, if you change publish/rss.php in the textpattern folder and replace the first instance of “application/rss+xml” with “text/xml”, Firefox will gladly display it in the browser window.
or, alternatively, you could just replace publish/rss.php with this file

Hi,Tried uploading your file – did not work.
Tried changing original rss.php – did not work.

Hi,Works fine – except you end up with the whole feed – would be nice to just have link / title/ excerpt.
Excellent tip!
Thanks

That is a good idea, i’ll see if I can add some CSS to the feed.SplitInfinity said,
