Can anyone help me out? I’m new to Radiant, and I can’t seem to figure  
out how to fix an issue with the External RSS extension. When I try and  
add a new RSS feed, I get:

* * *

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):

7:

  
8: 

9: Name  
10: \<%= text\_field “external\_rss\_feed”, “name”, :class =\>  
‘textbox’, :maxlength =\> 100 %\>  
11:

  
12: 

13: URL

* * *

So I changed valid? in the model to validate but the error still shows  
up.

The trace from the edit.rhtml is:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/radiant-0.6.6/vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active\_record/attribute\_methods.rb:88:in

Thanks for any help in advance!
