I Was trying to validate the backend.php rss feed tells me it needs to be corrected how does one go about doing this ?
NSN News 2.0.0
RavenNuke76 v2.02.02 FULL
http://www.feedvalidator.org/

http://nb-productions.com/backend.php

lastBuildDate must be an RFC-822 date-time: Thu, 03 Aug 2006 06:16:20 EEST

needs to be
<pubDate>Wed, 02 Oct 2002 08:00:00 EST</pubDate>

are these the same problem are two different ones?

nb1, I cannot find this issue in the core PHP-nuke backend (at least for RN), so your backend.php must be a replacement in the NSN News distro? Can you post the code from that script here so we can take a look?

If this is true that it is from NSN News, I will move this thread over to that Forum so it has better visibility as such.

You are saying that your backend.php is not valid right? Post that one please.

And actually the time and date when posting on man page is incorrect I think this is causing the issue

This is not the one that is failing validation. In your link from your first post, that one is showing RSS version 2.0. There is no PubDate node in the code you posted.

I'm extremely sorry I forgot I had put some extra chatters in front of the original file name for backup purposes Okay my next question is changing the time when the post was made

Unfortunately, I am not sure how NSN News is doing it. In the core PHP-Nuke News module, it is formatted in modules/News/article.php (may be a few other places), but it seems to be calling a function in mainfile.php:

// Beta 3 code by Quake 08/19/2005
// Written for Nuke-Evolution and Nuke Patched
function formatTimestamp($time) {
global $datetime, $locale;
setlocale(LC_TIME, $locale);
if (!is_numeric($time)) {
preg_match('/([0-9]{4})-([0-9]{1,2})-([0-9]{1,2}) ([0-9]{1,2}) Sad

[0-9]{1,2}) Sad

[0-9]{1,2})/', $time, $datetime);
$time = gmmktime($datetime[4],$datetime[5],$datetime[6],$datetime[2],$datetime[3],$datetime[1]);
}
$time -= date('Z');
$datetime = strftime(_DATESTRING, $time);
$datetime = ucfirst($datetime);
return $datetime;
}

I have a feeling that NSN News is not using this function. It may be a bug but I will need to defer to someone who has NSN News 2.0.0 downloaded and installed. I don't have time to do that right now.

I will move this thread over to the NSN News forum.
