#825 – Stop RSS feed URL being rewritten

Hi

WHich exact version of Joomla and sh404SEF are you using?

Hi,

You are multiple versions behind, you should update to current sh404SEF, then delete this URL, and it should be rebuilt without the ".html" at the end.

Having ".html" at the end is not accepted by Joomla any longer for rss feed; when there's an "html" suffix, Joomla automatically switch to an HTML page, not a XML RSS feed.

An even quicker fix would be to manually customize this URL by removing the ".html" at the end.

Hi

You mean you have current version, the URL is /feed/rss and you still get the html page??

If so, then it's something else: you have a system plugin causing this.

Please confirm which version you're using.

Hi

It doesn't have to be unusual. Next step is for us to get a full backup (Akeeba backup) of the site, so that we can install a copy on our local machine and debug step by step the PHP to see what's making the page become HTML

Hi

OK, I was lucky, sometimes it takes much time to figure out what extension is causing the problem.
But in your case, it was the first plugin I tried causing the issue: System - eorisis: jQuery

It has a well known bug: it call JFactory::getDocument() from the onAfterInitialize event:

//	--------------------------------------------------

	function onAfterInitialise()
	{
		$this->doc = JFactory::getDocument();
		$this->is_html = ($this->doc->getType() == 'html');

		if (!$this->is_html) { return; }

This is an error, this function should not be called before the onAfterRoute event (because the type of document is only known after routing has taken place.

I don't know what this plugin is used for. If you can disable it, do it. If not, you can fix it as follow:

//	--------------------------------------------------

	//function onAfterInitialise()
	public function onAfterRoute()
	{
		$this->doc = JFactory::getDocument();
		$this->is_html = ($this->doc->getType() == 'html');

		if (!$this->is_html) { return; }

Of course, I'd strongly suggest to contact the developers to inform them, so that they can fix the problem.
