Surely someone else is playing around with this module?

I've definitely narrowed it down to the ampersand with an opml file. I've tried using an external opml file and opml inside the module settings textbox. Both fail when I try to hit a feed with an ampersand in the Url.

Since most of the RSS feeds in DNN contain ampersands in the Url I can't use any of them in this module.

Would be good to get some info from the Project Lead on this - do you need beta testers?

I've logged this as an issue in Gemini:

http://support.dotnetnuke.com/issue/ViewIssue.aspx?id=6823&PROJID=23

I really need this feed explorer to work with an ampersand.  Anyone know the status of this issue?  Is someone working on this?  Will there be a fix to this issue soon?  If yes, when?  Thank you so much.

I actually found that by using an example from one of iwonder's posts that ampersands do indeed work so long as you escape them with &. Something else in your OML is probably doing the damage. The OPML has to be properly formed, the Feed Explorer is very unforgiving and will load the default collection if you have any errors.

I used the following OPML from iwonder from this thread:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<opml version="2.0">
   <head>
       <title>Your News</title>
       <ownerName>your domain</ownerName>
   <ownerEmail>your email</ownerEmail>
 <docs>http://www.opml.org/spec2</docs>

Copy the OMPL into a text editor and save as either as an opml or xml file. Then load it to your domain and set the Url in Feed Explorer. It's best to use an external file like because if you try to add too much text in the textbox of Feed Explorer it bombs.

Another thing to watch out for is caching. If you save your opml file as xml, then you'll need to add a dummy value to fool the browser into making a new request.

So in the Url box add http://yourdomain.com/youropmlfile.xml?i=1

Whenever you change the xml just increment the i value and your changes will be reflected.

Steve, after reading your post, I try it some more.  I finally got it to work.  Thank you so much.
