[Bug 800493] Re: RSS block picks the wrong links for articles

 

We are currently grabbing the first article <link ... tag, which
feedburner happens to list as the comments link. Listed last is the
"alternate" url which is what you're expecting. The PEAR XML parser
class we're using currently, XML_Feed_Parser appears to simply happily
grab the first <link ... tag for each post. AIUI we'd have to rewrite
the feed parsing with another parser class.

I suspect this issue would most commonly be associated with feedburner
feeds.

Title:
  RSS block picks the wrong links for articles

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Version: 1.4.0

  RSS feed: http://feeds.cloud.geek.nz/FeedingTheCloud

  If you click on any of the articles, you are taken to the comments
  feed for the article instead of the article page itself. This works
  fine in other feed readers (like Akregator and Liferea).

  It was also a problem on 1.3, see my profile page for example:
