Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ajw_clean_feed
It didn’t. So I emended it to:
<code><txp:ajw_clean_feed sitewide=“y” area=“comments” wraptag=“li” label=“Comments” flavor=“rss” title=“RSS feed” /></code>
Which still outputs nothing at all…

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ajw_clean_feed
Ah crap my fault… (edited above) the template tag which outputs links to the feed is <strong> ajw_clean_feed_link </strong>
(“<code>ajw_clean_feed</code>” isn’t a template tag; it’s just the name of the plugin as a whole).

Ah — should have seen that myself. I think I’m sorted now. Thanks again!

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ajw_clean_feed
Great plugin ;)
Any way to combine certain sections into a single feed?
Working perfectly for most of what I’m doing, would like to combine a couple related & low volume sections though.
Thanks for a great plugin

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ajw_clean_feed
This plugin is currently mirroring Textpattern’s default feed functionality. As to extending it to multiple sections, I probably won’t be attempting it anytime soon.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ajw_clean_feed
Thanks again Andrew, great plugin.
I think I might be able to fudge a solution?
Maybe pull all the title/excerpts I want to combine into a faux section page, then use the feed from that combined section?
Anyone see anything wrong with that idea or have a better one? :)
Thanks

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ajw_clean_feed
Or modify the plugin to accept section="foo,bar,etc"

Where are these clean feed auto-discovery plugins (I think that’s what’s being suggested there)? Can’t hit one on a search to save my life.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ajw_clean_feed
I don’t think there really are any, since it’s more a matter of just adding the link with a dynamic url to the <head> in your header template:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="<txp:ajw_clean_feed_link url_only="y" sitewide="y" flavor="rss" />" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Atom" href="<txp:ajw_clean_feed_link url_only="y" sitewide="y" flavor="atom" />" /> </pre>
Afaik, that should work.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ajw_clean_feed
That does work.
I can also just paste in the generated clean URL and it works exactly the same; hence, a bit less code, for example:
<code><link rel=“alternate” type=“application/rss+xml” href=“http://site.tld/category/catSAC/rss/” title=“SAC Reading and Use” /></code>
One thing I notice is that no matter what category I might be generating a feed for (and this is the case either by your method above or by the way I just tried it here), there is no title being pulled in the saved Live Bookmarks link; no matter which feed it is, it’s always just showing the site name “My Site”. Personally speaking, I don’t mind editing these by hand, but from a usability standpoint (and especially newbies who may be just consuming RSS for the first time), it could be a stickler.
I’ve tried moving things around but no matter what I can’t get the title to transfer over into the saved feed link properties. (Come to think of it, I can’t recall if that happened before with the default or not.)
Also, but not as critical, it would be the cherry on top if for a category (“tips”) in a section (“journal”) one could get a feed path like <code>http://site.tld/journal/tips/rss/</code>
Otherwise, Andrew, much better than it was.
