Hi Ben,
I  tried all and got 'URL not defined for this feed'.  I tried to URLencode
the field and

Then I URLencoded query string of the URL and got 'feed added', but there
was no feed to view.

Upon looking at the feed, the URL that Moodle seemed to have stored was
actually a link to the original search page.

ORIGINAL URL:
http://eprints.wit.ie/cgi/search/advanced/export_witeprints_RSS2.xml?exp=0|1|-date/creators_name/title|archive|-|divisions:divisions:ALL:EQ:bus|-|eprint_status:eprint_status:ALL:EQ:archive|metadata_visibility:metadata_visibility:ALL:EX:show&output=RSS2&_action_export=1&screen=Public::EPrintSearch

ENCODED URL:
http://eprints.wit.ie/cgi/search/advanced/export_witeprints_RSS2.xml?exp%3D0%7C1%7C-date%2Fcreators_name%2Ftitle%7Carchive%7C-%7Cdivisions%3Adivisions%3AALL%3AEQ%3Abus%7C-%7Ceprint_status%3Aeprint_status%3AALL%3AEQ%3Aarchive%7Cmetadata_visibility%3Ametadata_visibility%3AALL%3AEX%3Ashow%26output%3DRSS2%26_action_export%3D1%26screen%3DPublic%3A%3AEPrintSearch

Could I put it through FeedBurner, I wonder?

Well, the Feedburner feed is:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/WitRepositorySchoolOfBusiness

But, it doesn't work either.  I activated something called 'smartfeed',
which claimed to increase compatibility - made no difference.

The validator link from Moodle says that the feed is valid, but that there
is an 'implausable date'.  I think the time is an hour wrong, but that
shouldn't matter.

David.
