Anyone working on rss 2.0 enclosures, podcasting?

poeman · 2004-10-12 18:09:35

I recently recorded my first attempt at a podcasst for my blog site, alvinphillips.com

Has anyone had any experience working with textpattern for providing rss 2.0 feeds with enclosures?

Thanks,

Alvin…

Anyone thinking about incorporating podcasting into Txp? I’d sure like this. See http://www.ipodder.org/bloggingToolsEnclosures for what I think might help someone offer a hack or plugin.

This is something I’d really like to be able to do in TXP too. Any boffins out there fancy having a go?

I hope someone talented out there will come up with something.

Thanks.

bumpity bump

Just in case anyone has discovered a hack for this that they haven’t shared yet (or if someone with more time fancies a challenge/project)

I am not necessarily committing to implementing anything, but I just wanted to outline one way to implement this functionality. This can be broken down in to two basic areas: RSS 2.0 support, and enclosures for entries.

Theoretically the best way to go about adding support for enclosures is to add a new field to the ‘textpattern’ table, or perhaps use one of the pre-existing custom fields, which would contain the url of the enclosure. I would be in favor of adding a new field; repurposing one of the pre-existing custom fields seems a bit clunky to me.

RSS 2.0 support shoudn’t be that hard to add, given that we have two existing feed types to use as examples.

On second thought, though, maybe there’s a better way to do this. It could be beneficial to rework the existing ‘images’ functionality into a generic ‘media’ function, so that instead of just handling images, it would also handle things like mp3 files. Then, for each article, you could assign media elements to it, and then they would get listed as RSS 2.0 enclosures of that article, and of course there would also have to be tags to list the media items associated with an article in an article form.

Make sense?

Kurt – I think your last suggestion makes a whole heap of sense. Upload a file (.mp3, .dmg etc) via the media tab, and then specify it in either your content with a textile tag, or in a field similar to ‘article image’, like ‘article enclosure’.

Maybe this thread should move to feature requests?

Dittos on the wish-list for this.

ditto two

but a vote against a generic ‘media’ field — would prefer one for ‘article images’ and one for ‘article files’

the former to allow for galleries situated within a post (see jmr_gallery) and the latter for files linked to a post (see my hack)

Hey everyone, I’ve found a work around for adding enclosures in your rss feed and getting some basic podcasting support for TextPattern with no need for programming, plugins or anything. What you can do is create a new section just for your rss feed and in the page template type out your xml (you can reference the current rss output TextPattern publishes) but add the necessary txp tags for your content to spill out in their necessary places. For enclosure tags and the various itunes xml you can all specify in a form. Then you can just manually type out your rss linkage in the head of your pages to link to what ever you name the section. For instance: A little unfortunate we have to go to this measure to get this kind of control over an rss feed but it seems to work out all right me. Hope this helps.

Tyson,

I’ve been asking for help with RSS 2.0 for a while. Perhaps you can contribute something there.
