Subject: [Radiant-Docs] External RSS Extension wont work
Message-ID: <66B717DD-E2FD-4373-A7ED-0FE05CE70167@ManiaTV.com>

Can anyone suggest a solution to my external RSS extension problem?

I'm getting this error:

--------------------------------------------------------
ActiveRecord::DangerousAttributeError in Admin/external_rss_feed#new

Showing admin/external_rss_feed/edit.rhtml where line #10 raised:

valid? is defined by ActiveRecord

extracted source (around line #10):

--------------------------------------------------------

I have followed all the suggestions, and tried on Rails 1.2.6 and 2.0.2.

I followed the instruction on http://wiki.radiantcms.org/Using_External_RSS_extension/6 
  to the T to no avail.

I also tried changing the valid? method to validate in the  
external_rss_feed.rb but the error wont go away.

Any help is very appreciated! -Josh
