Extension talk:News Channel

Blank line; missing properties.
I have been trying to implement this extension. Much seems to be going OK, but I cannot display the feed (or subscribe to it successfully.) The main problem seems to be that the feed XML has a blank line at the beginning. However, there are other issues. The Apache2 error log shows the following Undefined properties:
 * NewsChannel::$newsWikiExcludeCategory
 * NewsChannel::$authorizedEditors

and undefined variables:
 * $wbNewsChannelExportTextOnly

all in NewsChannel_body.php

The blank line shows up in the Recent Changes feed, also.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 * Sorry, I can't help with blank line. It's not the first time I here about blank line, that breaks the feed recognition, but I have no solution, and that line doesn't seem to be connected with "News Channel" extension. Please, send me a note, if you find out something. --CodeMonk 18:15, 27 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I'll fix other mentioned minor problems in next release. --CodeMonk 18:15, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

RemoveArticlePrefix and namespace
Just a note to anyone who, like me initially, wonders how to strip both namespace and prefix from article titles: the namespace won't be included in the title, so it shouldn't be mentioned in 's value. So even if the News/...-titled pages you want to follow are in the Talk: namespace, you should still specify  as just 'News/' instead of 'Talk:News/' if you want the titles without the Talk:News/ prefix. -Jani Uusitalo 14:14, 24 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, that's right. I'll mention that in documentation. --CodeMonk 18:15, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
