Thank you for the help, with the information you have supplied things now seem to work
, great job..
Yes you are correct, its the Sheduled tasks, not the cpanel cron i was thinking of using..
I have edited the code as below, its not 100% i need to look at how it creates the build and publish date, it now however creates the rss feed..
Thankyou.

Hello all.
Thankyou again for the help....But i am now stuck again...help
ok in the code above i had to do some things as if there was a ? or " in my event details then the rss page failed to load in the browser..
I did some checking and ? gets converted to £ and " gets converted to "
My new rss page then displays as it should.
If..
I use the rss widget code and enable the description to display the feed from inside the widget i get the symbols appear £ and " not ? and "
I was going to add some php to the template to find and replace, looks like i cant do this?
then i was looking at vb:raw and other areas like this?
how can i add some code to a template take {vb:raw item.description} and find and replace characters before it displays on the browser?
Many thanks in advance, below i will attach my new template code.
my rss file shows ? :
http://www.bidefordmarket.co.uk/bide...teventlist.rss
My rss display shows the characters :
