Errors creating RSS feeds from DocumentLibrary and Links

[cszamudio]

Hi,
I'm seeing the following error when I attempt to create an RSS feed from either the DocumentLibrary or Links sections of a Site. I don't have problems with either Blogs, WIkis or other sections.  If anyone could suggest what might be happening, it would help me track down the issue.

I just upgraded from 3.3g to 3.4c, so perhaps it's related to this.

Thank you,
Carlos S. Zamudio

I resolved the problem fixing an error in "\share\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\site-webscripts\org\alfresco\components\documentlibrary\feed.get.rss.ftl".

The line 32:

31      <guid isPermaLink="false">${item.nodeRef}</guid>
32      <pubDate>${xmldate(item.modifiedOn)}</pubDate>
33      <#if isMP3><enclosure url="${proxyLink + item.contentUrl}" length="${item.size}" type="audio/mpeg" /></#if>
‍‍‍‍‍

becames:

31      <guid isPermaLink="false">${item.nodeRef}</guid>
32      <pubDate>${formatDate(item.modifiedOn)}</pubDate>
33      <#if isMP3><enclosure url="${proxyLink + item.contentUrl}" length="${item.size}" type="audio/mpeg" /></#if>
‍‍‍‍‍
