Bug ID: 314799
Summary: Akregator: Author information is missing in some Atom
articles
Classification: Unclassified
Product: kdepimlibs
Version: 4.10
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: syndication
Assignee: kdepim-bugs@kde.org
Reporter: b.brachac...@gmail.com
I use Akregator to read Planet GNOME and Planet Gentoo Atom feeds, amongst
others. In these two feeds I often observe lack of author information in the
"Author" column in feed view in Akregator. One example is Matthew Garrett's
blog on Planet GNOME. I found out that in the articles without author
information there are indeed no author nodes under the entry node in the Atom
XML, but there is author node in the source node. After reading fragment of RFC
4287 [4.2.1], I came to conclusion that this is Akregator's or, more presicely,
the underlying library's fault.
If an atom:entry element does not contain atom:author elements, then
the atom:author elements of the contained atom:source element are
considered to apply. In an Atom Feed Document, the atom:author
elements of the containing atom:feed element are considered to apply
to the entry if there are no atom:author elements in the locations
described above.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add http://planet.gnome.org/atom.xml feed to Akregator.
2. Fetch it.
3. Look at the "Author" column. There is no author information in some
articles.
Actual Results:
There is no author information in some articles.
Expected Results:
There should be author information in each article, provided that the Atom feed
is standard-compliant.
