Layout RSS feeds

I have a problem with inserting certain RSS feeds in Xibo.

For example:
www.telegraaf.nl/rss
www.1limburg.nl/rss/sectie/ceba45ea-1974-4840-bb59-ec82a7407cbe

They both have some html-tags added to the description tags. This messes up my layout on the Xibo screen and ignores my own settings. I’d like to ignore these tags, but I don’t know if it is possible.

For example, the second rss has the following description field:

<description>&lt;p&gt;De gemeente Valkenburg aan de Geul gaat strenger optreden tegen geparkeerde en stilstaande auto&amp;rsquo;s en vrachtwagens in het historisch centrum.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

The &lt;p&gt; tags make my layout completely unusable. Is there any way to ignore these?

I’m on Xibo 1.7.5.

Hi,

Regarding first feed www.telegraaf.nl/rss
Validator - Feed Validator Results: http://www.telegraaf.nl/rss/

It is valid, there are only some suggestions there.

Now:

&lt;p&gt; and &lt;/p&gt; are for <p> </p> respectively.

You could try to strip this tag, please open your ticker edit form, go to advanced tab, and add “p” in Strip Tags field.

Regarding www.1limburg.nl/rss/sectie/ceba45ea-1974-4840-bb59-ec82a7407cbe

It’s invalid I’d imagine it might not work as intended :wink:

Thanks. I have tried it and indeed, the first one works now without messing up my own design. The second one is still a problem like you already mentioned. I’ll try to get in contact with the webmaster for this website to check if they are already aware of this.

Hmm, tried it another time and now the other one is also working fine. I think I didn’t save it properly the first time. Thanks for your reply!

Ok, I am glad you have it working now.

Although I’d still contact owner of the second feed and perhaps bring it to his attention, because there might be some issues with it since it doesn’t validate.

I’ll close this topic now :smile:
