Customize feed URLs

Aleksandersen · 2007-05-18 00:10:07

Hi,

I want to customize my feed URLs. How can I get these URLs (Atom formatted) without doing an additional Apache rewrite rule on top on Textpattern’s rewrite rules?

http://mysite.net/kanal/
http://mysite.net/kanal/sectionname/

Modify a Textpattern file (textpattern/publish.php).

Thanks, Mary! :)

I figured out how to do /kanal/, but I have not been able to figure out how to do /kanal/sectionname/. Do you happen to know where what I should look at to get that working?

It just occured to me that there may be a plugin that lets you do this kind of stuff with URLs, so you might want to look into that (plugin is better than hacking).

I imagine you got it working within the following section of code:

switch($u1) {

	case 'atom':
		include txpath.'/publish/atom.php'; exit(atom());

	case 'rss':
		include txpath.'/publish/rss.php'; exit(rss());

If so, $u2 would have in it the section name. Both the Atom and RSS feeds look for the section name in $_GET['section'], so all you should need to do is add the following to each case, but before each include statement:

$_GET['section'] = $u2;

That’s all you need to do, since the feeds do the necessary after that. Looks something like:

switch($u1) {

	case 'atom':
		$_GET['section'] = $u2;
		include txpath.'/publish/atom.php'; exit(atom());

	case 'rss':
		$_GET['section'] = $u2;
		include txpath.'/publish/rss.php'; exit(rss());

Yea, there were many. But all outdated.

I added a case kilder, and that is how I got that part working. However I could not make heads or tails of rewriting the sections.

OK, I cannot get it to work properly. I think I will have to go for localised URLs in stead. How can I localise the URLs by replasing “section=” by “seksjon=”?

That would actually require more changes. Try this:

switch($u1) {

	case 'kanal':
		$_GET['section'] = $u2;
		include txpath.'/publish/atom.php'; exit(atom());

	case 'rss':
