Joomulus doesn't validate 1 Year, 9 Months ago

Joomulus producing an error while trying to validate html with w3c tool.

The error is:

# Error Line 387, Column 64: element "tags" undefined

…dJoomulus_" id="modJoomulus1"><p><tags><a href='http://…

You have used the element named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not define an element of that name. This error is often caused by:

* incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Frameset" document type to get the "<frameset>" element),
* by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "<spacer>" or "<marquee>" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).
* by using upper-case tags in XHTML (in XHTML attributes and elements must be all lower-case).

Ahh yes, the tag <tags> isn't valid HTML, this is a quirk that's followed Joomulus from Cumulus. The Joomulus swf reads a XML file with <tags> as the root of the XML. This will be changed on the next release which will also offer unicode support. Although its throwing an error it's still well formed XML so it wont effect search engine results.

Nope, still there. Any turnaround? I tried to modify the module helper.php file but I end up with more errors...

I made it! Change the following lines in /modules/mod_joomulus/helper.php:

Line 18

Code:

$tagcloud = '<tags>';

Code:

$tagcloud = '<span>';

Line 21:

Code:

$tagcloud2 .= "<a href='".$this-
>options[$count.'_url']."' target='".$this-
>options['target']."' style='font-size:".$this-
>options[$count.'_size']."'>".$this-
>options[$count.'_name']."</a>\n ";

Code:

$tagcloud2 .= "<a href='".htmlentities($this-
>options[$count.'_url'])."' target='".$this-
>options['target']."' style='font-size:".$this-
>options[$count.'_size']."'>".$this-
>options[$count.'_name']."</a>\n ";

and Line 29

Code:

$tagcloud .= $tagcloud2.'</tags>';

Code:

$tagcloud .= $tagcloud2.'</span>';

I don't get any validation errors anymore.
Greez and thanks for the amazing module!

Akel´s repair works great for me, but you must watch out for the right copy/paste : Copy the code to line 21 and delete spacer from all "this- >" to "this->" . With the spacer you will get 500 error. Thank you akel for this repair, this was last validation error on my site :). And also big thanks to JoomlaBear of course :)
