Invalid Planet RSS Aggregation Generated

I created a Planet RSS aggregation group, and successfully
added several
subscriptions.  However, when I try to view the RSS using
the following
URL,  h
ttp://localhost:8080/roller/planetrss?group=Status

I get invalid XML.  It turns out that the "Read
More" links that get
generated are invalid.  They contain a spurious character at
the start of
the "href" attribute.

[<a href="�http://localhost:8080/roller/mfortner/entr
y/20070320">Read
More</a>]

I can save this file, remove the characters, and the RSS
parses properly.

Can someone take a look at the code that's generating the
feed and fix this?

I looked at the RSS-related issues in JIRA but didn't see a
duplicate
of this issue.

What version of Roller are you using?

Are you using the Read More plugin?

I'm using the latest download available from the site (
version 3.0 ).
I don't think I'm using the Read More plugin.  Is there a
way I can double
check?

I also used the following URL (
h
ttp://localhost:8080/roller/bross/feed/entries/rss)
which generated a feed
that contained an atom:summary tag in it.  If I comment out
the tag and
redisplay it in Sage/FireFox, then things are parsed
properly.

Never mind that question about Read More, I was confused.
The planet
feeds include partial content and a [Read More] link but do
not use
the Read More plugin.

I can't explain how that "?" character got in your
feed URL and I
cannot duplicate it with my Roller 3.0 installation.

All of the feed readers (including Firefox itself) I've
tested ignore
that <atom:summary> element in the RSS feeds, so
that's an unfortunate
bug in Sage.

Possible work-arounds:
- Use the Atom feed instead
- Use a different feed reader
- Hack the feeds.vm template to remove the
<atom:summary> element from RSS feeds

Is there any way to get plantrss to return the entire
description instead of
just a partial description?  We'd like to be able to use
Roller to "roll up"
status reports from different groups within our company.

Yes. You can edit the
WEB-INF/velocity/templates/planet/planetrss.vm file.

Make a back-up first. Refer to docs for Apache Velocity and
the Roller
Template Guide for details on the template language, model
objects and
macros available.
