Works, fine michael,I’ve been wondering about this allso, and my thought first was that there is a tag somewhere allready in Textpattern.
One suggestion though,adding a section attribute would be usefull.(That’s the way I am just hardcoding it for my site so I can serve up individual feeds for each of my main sections.)
By the way,I allso installed your previous plug(version),and guess what,yes I am using it.
I think making these plugins is a nice way to learn some php.
So, congratulations,fellow.

regards, marios

I have a version working now that is section-aware so you can use it to create a link to the feed for the current section. But I also want to add a way to link to a section feed from outside the section. Look for it sometime in the next 12-18 hours.

Update: Well, actually it turned out to be a lot simpler than I originally thought.

I decided that I had overload the syntax way too much for mkp_header_link so I returned it to the original version. Now, if you want to link to a section use mkp_section_header_link. If a section is not specified, it automatically links to the current section.

Great, super, I’ll test that out ASAP,

I couldn’t get this yet getting to work after upgrading to v0.93.
It is outputting something like that in the source:
<code>
<link rel=“alternate” type=“application/atom+xml” title=“houston Atom 0.3” href=“http://local.cybermarios7.com/?atom=1&section=houston” />
</code>
It should print though something like that:
<code>

Looking at the bottom of the code at the mkp section header function the string concatenation for the generation of the section meta tag is wrong.
I temporarely changed the code by removing the sitesection function and appending the sitefunction after the ‘hu’ string. to this.
<code>
function mkp_section_header_link($atts) { extract(lAtts(array( ‘flavor’ => ‘rss’, ‘section’ => ‘’ ),$atts));

$section = (!($section)) ? $GLOBALS[“s”] : $section;

$rs = safe_row(“title”,“txp_section”,“name = ‘$section’ limit 1”); $sectionname = (empty($rs[“title”])) ? $s.’ ‘ : $rs[“title”].’ ‘; $sitesection = a.‘section=’.urlencode($section);

if($flavor==‘atom’) { $out = ‘<link rel=“alternate” type=“application/atom+xml” ‘ .‘title=”’.$sectionname.‘Atom 0.3” href=”’.hu.$section.’?’.$flavor.’=1’.’” />’; } else { $out = ‘<link rel=“alternate” type=“application/rss+xml” ‘ .‘title=”’.$sectionname.‘RSS 0.92” href=”’.hu.$section.’?’.$flavor.’=1’.’” />’; }

return $out; }
</code>

This fixes the problem for the wrong url string generation, but I didn’t have time to study the whole plugin.

One word of notice on the default behavior of
<code>
<txp:mkp_section_header_link flavor=“atom” />
</code>

If no section attribute is provided (e.g. using one page template for all sections it will use the page template name instead the section name)
which is a problem since it’ll give you the default name of your main template resulting in a meta tag that looks like this:
<code>
<link rel=“alternate” type=“application/rss+xml” title=“default RSS 0.92” href=“http://TLD/default?rss=1” />
</code>

So it should better use real section names or the string default should be stripped out or something.
And of course leaving the code like that the section names would need to match the template names.
