I am curently running the latest (b3 I believe) version of gallery3. I have uploaded a couple of albums and all was well, including the RSS feeds. I am currently running the Facebook RSS app that posts RSS updates from the "Latest photos and movies" to Facebook, and it all worked like a charm until last night.

The gallery can be found at http://www.skjelten.info/gallery.

If you try clicking the "Latest photos and movies" RSS feed now however, there is an error. Looking at the error message in my browser, it states that there is an invalid character in this line in the feed (row 23, character 17):

<span>IMD Reunion 2009</span>

Now I presume that little "cross" or whatever it is, is what's causing the issue. Problem is, I do not know how to remove it. I tried assigning a new name to the album, but had no luck. Is there some way I can remove this extra character? I presume it is in the database, but as a mysql newbie, I was not able to find out where on earth I can go in manually and edit it.

My second question would be, and you will have to forgive my ignorance here: if I manage to manually remove the "cross", will the RSS feed be updated correctly, or is there any way I can force an update, short of deleting the album and reuploading everything?

Any pointers would be very much appreciated!

I see that character on the items. Don't know how it got there, but see if you see it when you edit the item.
I don't know anything about the RSS feed. I assume it only gets read when it is pulled.

Hmmm, I wonder if it isn't actually the EXIF data's "Description" field that I genereated in Aperture that's really the problem. Probably my sausage fingers managed to hit something on the keyboard as I was making that EXIF field. (You can see the same funny little character in the "Picture info" box).

I guess that leaves me with either some sort of bulk EXIF editing on the web server, or rather just a re-export and re-upload...

Oh well, at least that probably clears gallery3 from any wrongdoing ;)
