Drupal Feed Aggregator

I have a question about drupal feed aggregator. I run a website at www.robhaslam.ca and I put the rss feed into feed burner at http://feeds2.feedburner.com/R.... Then I pull the feed burner feed into another drupal site using feed aggregator. The problem is that now the

tags show up as p (the < and > are stripped). Is there a setting somewhere I am missing?

I have another feed coming into the site and it's paragraph markers are intact. hmmm...

Thanks in advance, Sam.

Feedburner feed?

How are the tags in the feedburner feed? Are they the same as the import? How about the feed from the original drupal site? What module is producing that feed?

the feedburner feed looks

the feedburner feed looks good. The feed of robhaslam.ca is just the default drupal rss.

this is an example of how the feed looks in the aggregator module:

pHave you ever wondered how to avoid toxic relationships? God has a design for relationships that when followed, moves us to healthy participants in fantastic relationships./p pa href=http://robhaslam.ca/node/45 target=_blankread more/a/p

As you can see the < and > are missing but everything else is there. The same snippet has the proper tags in both the feedburner feed and the original sites rss.

Looking at the feedburner

Looking at the feedburner source it looks like sanitized html:

<title>Biohazard: A Look at unhealthy relationships</title>

<link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/RobHaslam/~3/mgEtechtJWc/45</link>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Have you ever wondered how to avoid toxic relationships?  God has a design for relationships that when followed, moves us to healthy participants in fantastic relationships.&lt;/p&gt;

I haven't used the aggregator module, but it might just be stripping out the &lt &gt's.

It's a strange thing about determined seekers-after-wisdom that, no matter where they happen to be, they'll always seek that wisdom which is a long way off. Wisdom is one of the few things that looks bigger the further away it is.

well the feed aggregator

well the feed aggregator settings in my drupal page are set to allow <a> <b> <br> <dd> <dl>
<dt> <em> <i> <li> <ol> <p> <strong>
<u> <ul> <img>.

The only feed that is causing me issues is the one generated by robhaslam.ca. I have two other feeds (one of theme is run through feedburner) and these display fine. This makes me suspect the output from robhaslam.ca (even though it looks fine on the feedburner page). P.S. the robhaslam.ca site runs drupal.

Directly

What happens if you directly pull the feed from robhaslam.ca and bypass feedburner?

Have you tried scrapping this one in aggregator and starting over?

How is it being stored?

At this point i'd look at how the feed is being stored.

The work flow in drupal is...

Grab feed -> store it -> filter stored feed -> present filtered version.

So, I'd start by looking at the html that's stored for the feed. Is it getting into drupal right or is the filtering system hosing the output. You may need to look in the aggregator tables to find this.

Matt, The feeds in the

Matt,

The feeds in the database does not include the < or >. What things should I be looking at changing on the robhaslam.ca site (which is also drupal)

BishopBooyah: It's actually

BishopBooyah:

It's actually the drupal feed on robhaslam.ca that is stripping the < and > and replacing it with < and >

Is this a setting in the way drupal creates the rss that I need to change?

I found this post at drupal

I found this post at drupal (http://drupal.org/node/365382) which might be my problem. My shared server is running php 5.2.8. I have added a ticket to support to see what they can do for me.

Sounds more like a filter

Sounds more like a filter setting to me. Check to see if your fields are set to "plain text".
