The problem is that in the default Joomla RSS feed, can’t get the full urls, and returns 404 error links from 3rd party RSS readers like feedly, feedburner etc.
For example:
ERROR READ MORE LINK => “/latest-news/62-demo-article.html”
THE CORRECT MUST BE: => “http://www.mydomain.com/latest-news/62-demo-article.html”
HOW TO FIX IT:
STEP 1.
Open the file: “/components/com_content/views/featured/view.feed.php”, lines ~98.
Find:
$description .= '<p class="feed-readmore"><a target="_blank" href ="' . $item->link . '">' . JText::_('COM_CONTENT_FEED_READMORE') . '</a></p>';Replace with:
$new_base_url = JURI::base();
$new_base_url = preg_replace('//$/', '', $new_base_url);
$new_full_link = $new_base_url.$item->link;
$description .= '<p class="feed-readmore"><a target="_blank" href ="' . $new_full_link . '">' . JText::_('COM_CONTENT_FEED_READMORE') . '</a></p>';STEP 2.
Open the file: “/components/com_content/views/category/view.feed.php”, lines ~51.
Find:
$item->description .= '<p class="feed-readmore"><a target="_blank" href ="' . $link . '">' . JText::_('COM_CONTENT_FEED_READMORE') . '</a></p>';Replace with:
$new_base_url = JURI::base();
$new_base_url = preg_replace('//$/', '', $new_base_url);
$new_full_link = $new_base_url.$link;
$item->description .= '<p class="feed-readmore"><a target="_blank" href ="' . $new_full_link . '">' . JText::_('COM_CONTENT_FEED_READMORE') . '</a></p>';Do not keep in mind the above solution if you do not use the “Read more” separator button in your articles.
