RSS options - Feat. Req ?

Post by z3b »

Would be nice to have more control on the content of the feeds, like publishing extended body.

I prefer not to hack the rss template and php files so i'm not worried when i need to update s9y. :D

Thanks,

Hi!

You can already configure the syndication plugin on whether extended body is contained or not?! :)

Best regards,

hm, I have an interesting idea:

in the moment for normal entry view output the template is resonsable for showing the full text or only the normal text without the extended text ...

for rss-output we have tpl-files, too. But here the question "full text or not" is configured in the s9y config.

Why not do this in the tpl-file, too?

I think it could be interest to give one feed the full text (perhaps for a blog planet thas wants to search into the full text) and a feed with the short text for normal readers ...
Ciao, Stephan

oops, my bad :)

Could we have an option (like in the others plugins) to change the title to something else than "Syndicate This Blog" ?

Thanks for the quick answer :)

Hi!

Stefan: You can already set the syndication plugin to "Let the client decide", and then use the provided URL option to make the RSS feed fetch the fulltext (or not) depending on that URL variable?!

z3b: Good suggestion. I added this plugin config to SVN of the 1.1-beta / nightly branch.

Aaah! THIS means the "client option"! :idea:

But, where I find the URL options?

Hi!

Don't know where/if it's written somewhere, but:

rss.php?fullFeed=true

(and leave out the option if you don't want a fullfeed)

HTH,
Garvin

I've almost posted this to another thread before, but since I stumble upon it again: I think we really need better documentation of plugin config options. Sometimes it's just trial and error because the description is missing or quite cryptic. I mean, I don't want to look at the code everytime I don't know what an option does. And the normal user can't even resort to that. Our user docs are very concise, to say the least. Any suggestions on how we can improve the situation? A wiki?

Hi!

Yes, pretty please. We can put it anywhere into the www.s9y.org wiki :)

Best regards,

Of course, having better documentation in the configuration plugin itself would be good, too. If you can come up with a better explanation than what's already there, I'd be willing to commit it.
