RSS feed fails validation

Post by mbrando » Wed Sep 11, 2024 7:15 pm

Hello,

I have a client who is trying to use Hubspot for RSS feed monitoring. Hubspot will not accept the Joomla 4.4.8 rss feed since it does not validate.

Feed Validation is here:
https://validator.w3.org/nu/?showsource ... type%3Drss

From this page:
https://www.mairsandpower.com/insights/all

Any idea why we get:

Schema Error: XML document with no namespace; cannot determine any schema to use for validation.
https://www.mairsandpower.com/insights/ ... d&type=rss

The error stems from the fact that the Joomla RSS feed does not include the XML namespace, which is essential for validation. To correct this, make sure the <rss> tag includes the namespace attribute, or use a Joomla extension to manage it. Validating the feed in advance via tools like W3C is crucial.

Oddly it does include the RSS tag.

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

That is the name space. I'm not sure why the validation tools for w3c and Hubspot do not see this.
