I have been fighting news feed issues for a couple of days now. I figured out two of my problems thanks to some very knowledgeable and helpful folks on here. However, I can't figure out why the top feed on the left looks so bad. I have applied the same XSL style sheet to it as the one on the bottom of the column, which is the BBC America news feed.

The bottom one looks great, the top one does not. It is an internal feed but should still be able to use the same style sheets, I would assume. I have it set to use the DNN default XSL file right now and it still doesn't work right.

Could anyone help me with this? Any help at all would be appreciated. I am not even sure how to describe this problem. I have had to roll back to an earlier version of the module and then find XSL code all over the place to solve my other problems. The feed in quesiton seems to work,  I just can't get any of my XSL files to make it look right for some reason.

I am using version 3.01.01. I had installed the newest version, but it had too many problems so I had to roll back. 

The feed is coming from a internal file where I syndicated the articles module you see right nest to the news feed. I am glad the feed at least works.

Yes, I am using the default style sheet provided by DNN. I Actually tried several, a couple of them yours that I got from Dnn Creative ( I think) and the DNN forum. You provided an all purpose style sheet that creates a dandy bullet list and covers every kind of feed under the sun. When I use that one, the only thing that shows in that top module is (iwonder All_In_One) which is strange. That style sheet works wonderfully on my external feeds. I think the XML file is really the problem and I have to find a fix using the XSL file.

I am using a modified version one of your other style sheets on the bottom feed and it looks great.  No style sheet seems to work on the top one. I am going to try your advice and see what happens. I hope that works. I have learned more about style sheets in the last couple of days complements of your examples. You would think DNN would provide something like an all in one style sheet since there are now so many versions of new feeds out there.

I am hoping that this has nothing to do with the fact that this is an interal feed from a file created using DNN's own syndication capability. Since the feed does technically work, I am going to keep trying the XSL approach to fix it.  I can't thank you enough for the examples you have out there, at least that gives me some clue of how to work on this problem.

I agree totally, it should not be that difficult and all DNN internal modules should be required to work with the standard xsl provided, otherwise why provide it? Right.  Unfortunately, folks do what do and we're stuck with it.  I'll see what I can find out about how the module creates the feed.  What version of DNN are you using?
