Solved: Feedburner readable RSS for specific Category
Since Feedburner seems to own the RSS world, I learned to play nice with it and got the TXP atom and rss to work just fine through minor tweaking that I’ll post if another new user asks.
My issue is this link: http://www.dinarius.com/commentable/?c=Audio-Podcasts
You can see, that is the result of Browse > Category. The audio is for new users and new webmasters and I cannot figure out how to isolate the results and create an RSS specifically for my podcasts!
The short story is that I want to distribute the RSS but don’t want every, single article showing up since they’re not all audio. Kudos to that jnm player btw.

Re: Solved: Feedburner readable RSS for specific Category
wouldn’t this work to produce a feed link:
<txp:feed_link flavor="rss" section="commentable" category="Audio-Podcasts" label="Audio-only Feed" />

Re: Solved: Feedburner readable RSS for specific Category
I entered that code where the working RSS codes are and Feedburner didn’t see it. The working RSS code and the suggested:
<link rel=“alternate” type=“application/rss+xml” title=“ALL ARTICLES RSS 0.92” href=“http://www.dinarius.com/commentable/rss/” />
<txp:feed_link flavor=“rss” section=“article” category=“Audio-Podcasts” label=“Audio-only Feed” />
They’re both in the Head Form I use and I’ve never adjusted any “feed_link” in TXP.

Re: Solved: Feedburner readable RSS for specific Category
So, I was wondering if there might be another suggestion? :)

Re: Solved: Feedburner readable RSS for specific Category
I’ve found a nice redirect in php for textpattern here: http://www.jaredigital.com/article/130/textpattern-clean-rss-feeds-feed-updates
that also doesn’t work for me although the instructions are clear enough.
It’s just a matter of isolating a category Audio-Podcasts from the rest of the site so I can create a specific RSS feed. Searches on the Forum just don’t seem to reveal an answer or that this is being done or that anyone has any questions about it.

why would you use section="article" when that doesn’t exist on your site? it should be ‘commentable’ shouldnt it?

Re: Solved: Feedburner readable RSS for specific Category
Actually, /commentable is the folder used for the Textpattern installation. I did it to sandbox the software and wound up leaving it there.
Your first suggestion didn’t work out for me, but I did stumble onto the the ajw_clean_feed which solved the problem neatly and quickly. It’s been two weeks and a day; I’m a little depressed that it took that long. As for that .php redirect from jaredigital above, I still don’t know anything about it.
To those searching the Forums for category specific RSS feeds, burn at Feedburner so the enclosures and descriptions are proper for iTunes and picky sites like PodCastAlley will pick-up the feed after it validates. Straight out of ajw_clean_feed doesn’t deliver a feed that validated in the ONE validator I tried. It might validate else where.
The isolated podcast feed for new computer users, finally.
Solved.
