Add a line to the RSS feed

ar · 2013-10-07 14:45:14

Hi,

I want to add this

<img src="http://example.com/s/piwik.php?idsite=8&rec=1&action_name=<txp:title />" style="border:0" alt="" />

to the default RSS feed, so that the RSS feed puts this out:

<description>
<![CDATA[
<p>bla bla bla</p>
<img src="http://example.com/s/piwik.php?idsite=8&amp;rec=1&action_name=<txp:title />" style="border:0" alt="" />
]]>
</description>

I guess it has to be placed in rss.php but I really don’t get along with the code there. Every link or something that looks similar to what I am trying to include is taken apart and recombined to a beautiful — but for me completely incomprehensible — soup of code. :)

Any help on how to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much,

Alex

Check out rah_custom_feed. The plugin allows you to customize feed items’ body content using a rah_feed_body named form template:

<txp:body />
<img src="<txp:site_url />s/piwik.php?idsite=8&amp;rec=1&amp;action_name=<txp:title />" style="border:0" alt="" />

Hi Jukka,

using the name rah_feed_body does nonetheless require to redirect /rss to /?rah_external_output=body, right?

Then this is not what I was looking for, because I need to keep the default feed URL (/rss).

By the way, your plug-in was a big help for me anyway. But it would be just superb if there were no need to redirect the feed to a new URL.

Thank you,

Alex

You could try to add

$summary .= parse('<img src="<txp:site_url />s/piwik.php?idsite=8&amp;rec=1&amp;action_name=<txp:title />" style="border:0" alt="" />');

right after the definition of summary (~line 96) in rss.php, but I would rather use a redirect.

Nope, that’s a different, unrelated plugin. Rah_custom_feed replaces the feed items’ description field.

Oleg: Thank you. I didn’t try it yet but I wonder why you would prefer a redirection?

Jukka: If I knew of that plugin before… this is awesome. Thank you very much!

It’s more flexible and easier to maintain/update. But you don’t even need to redirect with rah_custom_feed, so there is no question.
