Bloglines key in RSS feed - how?

[tombriggs]

I'm trying to claim my blogs on Bloglines, which requires both a one-time key in a given post and a user key in all later posts. Specifically, something like this needs to show up in all posts:

<!-- ukey="12345678" -->

I've found plenty of ways to do that in HTML, but I can't find a way to get that chunk of text into my RSS feeds... which means Bloglines can't find it.

Any ideas? What am I missing?

Thanks

Hi!

You can put that into the feed*.tpl template files!

Hrm... I considered that. That will affect all blogs in my installation though, correct? I have a shared setup, with a number of blogs, not all of which are owned by the same people... so I was hoping to find something that would allow me to specify it per-blog.

Any way to do that in a shared setup with making per-blog copies of the templates?

Thanks much

Hm, that makes things complicated.

Seems you're advanced, so you could use one of the event-API hooks specified in the .tpl files and create your own plugin that emits the Code portion only for the specific blog.

You could do that as well, yes. Create a custom template and only assign that to the blog, where you need it. You can copy the feed*.tpl file from the default template into that custom template and only modify those files.

Heh, I intended to write "without" making per-blog copies, but that's an interesting and less time-consuming approach than writing a plug-in that I hadn't thought of.

I have been wondering how hard it would be to write a plug-in, though, so maybe this will be my excuse to find out.
