Hi,
I'm just getting started with the RSS feature in WSN links. I'm trying to feed headlines from the "Element FYI" category in my WSN links site at http://www.elementlist.com with RSS.

I tried this:
rssfeed.php?type=links&number=5&field=time&ascdesc=descending&condition=catid=56

But I got the following error:
"This page contains the following errors:

error on line 10 at column 105: Specification mandate value for attribute s
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.

Element List http://www.elementlist.com The Best Science Links on the Web en-us Google
Commemorates Apollo Missions with Google Moon"

The line 10 that the error message refers to is:
<title>'. $settings->sitetitle .'</title>
which I haven't changed from the original.

Can you give me some clues on what I may be doing wrong?

Thanks

It means line 10 in the RSS, not in the PHP. Your description of "Google Commemorates Apollo Missions with Google Moon" has charactars that are illegal in RSS. It appears to be complaining about the & # 3 9; in Google & # 3 9 ; s that I see on viewing your source. This of course has been fixed by the script in more recent versions so that it doesn't use characters RSS complains about.

There were many RSS feed bugs fixed in 10 months or so since the version 3.12 that you're using. Upgrade to 3.16, or just use the rssfeed.php from 3.16 if you only want to fix that.
