Description Scott Ford 2007-03-25 18:23:33 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.4)
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs
OS:                Linux

I use the Link Splicer feature at Feedburner to add each days worth of Digg.com links I have dugg to my feed.  Apparently they are given the same <id>, and Akregator is showing only the oldest.  I logged the problem with FeedBurner here: http://forums.feedburner.com/viewtopic.php?t=12728 as follows:

"Firstly, my feed is http://feeds.feedburner.com/NothingsTooSacred

When I view my feed on the web page or using Firefox live bookmarks, it shows an entry for each day of my Digg links (latest is 2007-03-22).

But when I view my feed in Akregator, it only shows Digg links for the oldest day in the feed (2007-03-10).

I completely removed my details in Akregator including deleting cached items from it's data file. I then restarted Akregator & added my feed. It downloaded the entire feed as all new articles, but it still only had the Digg links from 2007-03-10. A check of the raw data shows only one day's worth of Digg links."

I posted the raw data here: http://www.comcen.com.au/~scottford/userfiles/http___feeds.feedburner.com_NothingsTooSacred.html

The reply I received from FeedBurner support:

"I checked your feed with feed validator, and the FeedBurner feed has two entries with the same ID. I wonder if this may be the cause, somehow Akregator doesn't display <items> with the same <id>.

Could you test this with another feed reader, perhapse Google Reader, or another? I'd like to see if we can replicate this in another piece of software.

Also, have you contacted anyone on the Akregator mailing list, or searched their forums. It sounds as though the issue may be feed reader specific."

I tested the feed with Google Reader & it showed the separate daily Digg entries okay.  But Akregator only shows the oldest.

FeedBurner staff have logged a bug report at their end as it appears to be a problem with their system when splicing links from Digg into feeds.

The whole purpose of id's is to identify items, so giving the same id to multiple items defeats the purpose. So the feed provider has to fix the feed.
same id => same item is a basic assumption I won't change.

So this is wontfix
