No one was able to answer Rich Collins's question:

I am having trouble with the title attribute on an RSS feed generated with Rails:



  xml.instruct!(

    :xml, :version=>"1.0", :encoding => "utf-8"

  )



  xml.rss(

    "version" => "2.0", 

    "xmlns:dc" => "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"

  ) do

    xml.channel do

      xml.title("Channel Title")

      xml.link("http://the.channel.com/")

      xml.description("Channel Description")

      xml.pubDate(Time.now.strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %z"))

      xml.item do

        xml.title("Item Title")

        xml.link("http://the.item.com/")

        xml.description("Item Description")

        xml.pubDate(Time.now.strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %z"))

      end

    end

  end

The xml.title does not result in a title tag being written to the reponse for either call!

Hi,

try this:

xml.instruct!

xml.rss "version" => "2.0", "xmlns:dc" => "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" do
xml.channel do

xml.title "Channel Title"
xml.link url_for :only_path => false, :controller => 'articles'
xml.description "Channel description"

@articles.each do |article|
xml.item do
xml.title article.title
xml.link url_for :only_path => false, :controller => 'articles', :action => 'show', :id => article.id
xml.description article.content
xml.guid url_for :only_path => false, :controller => 'articles', :action => 'show', :id => article.id
end
