A rss file has an extension of .rss or .xml....not php. You need to generate a rss compatible file first.

The, why this url works fine?<br />

This is made with the same mod.

RSS does not necessarily needs to be .rss or xml. It can be of php too but the header of the php output should be defined as xml.

Enock Jul 13 '12

I think it is defined in the current.

a piece of code here:

// Start RSS

outputheader('Content-type: application/rss+xml; charset=UTF-8');

$rss_result = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>

<rss version=\"2.0\" xmlns:atom=\"http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom\"><channel>

<atom:link href=\"".$board_url."/rss.$phpEx\" rel=\"self\" type=\"application/rss+xml\" />

<title>".$config['sitename']."</title>

<link>".$board_url."</link>

<description>".$config['site_desc']."</description>

<language>".$config['default_lang']."</language>

<copyright>".$user->lang['RSS_COPYRIGHT']." ".$config['sitename']."</copyright>

<managingEditor>".$config['board_email']." (".$config['sitename'].")</managingEditor>

<generator>".$config['sitename']."</generator>

<ttl>1</ttl>

Check whether you have entered any special chars in the url.

I also have the same problem as this
Rss widget seems to display only the specific model of rss ???

MY Oxwal RSS Widget Problems:
It can display one of my site`s rss.php but can not show the others of my site`s rss.php
It can display one of my site`s rss.xml but can not show the others of my site`s rss.xml

Guys, can you share those rss urls that you are trying to use? Let me check once.

Enock Jul 14 '12

Those are Atom feeds, Oxwall doesn't support Atom.
