Setting up an RSS or Atom Feed
I have searched through the forum and I can not find a simple answer to “how to set up a “real simple syndication” feed for TXP. I read that only Firefox seems to want to download a file but I have tried several different browsers with the same result. There is one plug-in listed that has a broken link for the download.
At the bottom of this forum is a link that can be used to put a valid feed into a Thunderbird News Reader. Is it just not possible to do this in Textpattern?

Re: Setting up an RSS or Atom Feed
All browsers will only download the feed. What you have to do is right-click on the link and choose “Copy Link Location” or equivalent.
Now, on this forum I’ve made that easier to do by using JavaScript to popup a little window containing the feed url. Is that what you want?

That is a good solution. If it is coupled with a button for the feed, it will help meet the “norm” that a lot of people are beginning to expect. Is it possible to get a copy of the script?

Re: Setting up an RSS or Atom Feed
The “feedPaste” function can be grabbed from here (near the bottom, you won’t want the rest of the script, it’s unrelated), and modify it to your liking.
Then you’d make the link to your feed, like this:
<a href="http://yoursite.com/rss" title="RSS 0.91 feed" onclick="return feedPaste(this.href);">RSS</a>

Thank you very much. Since we are integrating TXP and Pun… it is double good ;)
