News XML Problem

The new articles system looks good, however, the XML feeds link to the old article layout; rather than the new.

Can you please fix that up for us? I feed your news on various websites I run.

Thanks!

I'm not quite sure what you mean. Everything seems to be working ok for me

Take a look at http://www-en.curse-gaming.com/feeds/news/latest.xml

I am looking at it in Firefox, click on one of the headline links, you'll get a 404 because it is linking to the wrong place, since the recent change.

For instance, "Online Purchase available for TBC" is linking to http://www-en.curse-gaming.com/40/world-of-warcraft-the-burning-crusade/articles/815/online-purchase-available-for-tbc/

Rather than linking to: http://www-en.curse-gaming.com/games/40/world-of-warcraft-the-burning-crusade/articles/815/online-purchase-available-for-tbc/

The /games/ is missing.

Hope that helps clarify, sorry I was not more descriptive in my original post.

Upon further investigation, it seems that those headlines link to the correct PATH (/games/.../title_of_article/), but is however linking to the wrong Subdomain. It links to www. instead of www-en. It appears that the www. tries to redirect to the correct place under www-en, but loses the /games/ after the redirect.

This problem also persists on game specific feeds, such as http://wow-en.curse-gaming.com/feeds/news/latest.xml
