How could I fix these broken RSS head links in Joomla 2.5?


I am in this weird situation where the links to RSS in a page appear wrongly formatted.

The page is a job search tool in a company. In lines 12 and 13 you can see the links are

<link href="/index.php/bolsa-trabajo/rss/1?type=rss?format=feed" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Todas las categorías Feed (RSS)" />

and

<link href="/index.php/bolsa-trabajo/rss/1?type=atom?format=feed" rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Todas las categorías Feed (Atom)" />

Well, the second parameter format=feedis after a ? which makes the server respond with 500.

I've been searching and researching for days now, and I have found no similar problem on the net. I have not got much knowledge about Joomla but I have walked through many different files on the server and couldn't find the solution.

The site is using the template rt_ionosphere by RocketTheme and the module jobboard by Tandolin. Joomla version is 2.5.9.


Solution

  • It seems to be a bug in Tandolin's Job Board for Joomla component. I had to modify components/com_jobboard/views/list/tmpl/default_list.php and components/com_jobboard/views/jobboard/tmpl/default.php. There I hardcoded the '&' substituted for the variable $feedPrefix.
