[plugin] [ORPHAN] ajw_comments_feed

ajw_comments_feed & ajw_comments_feed_link

This plugin extends Textpattern’s RSS & Atom functionality to allow for sitewide, section, category, or article comments feeds. It works exactly like normal feed urls and utilizes the “area” querystring variable, i.e. area=comments. The usage of other modifiers, such as section=foo or category=bar, is also possible.

• Read the documentation
• Download (current version v0.6)

Yay!

So do you need to use the latest subversion version to use this? Using <txp:ajw_comments_feed wraptag="p" label="RSS" flavor="rss" /> with 4.02 doesn’t output anything.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ajw_comments_feed

Ah no, sorry – let me clarify…

• ajw_comments_feed simply adds the functionality to your site – it is never used explicitly as a tag in any form or template.
• ajw_comments_feed_link -> that’s the one that will output a link to your feed

So what you’re looking for is this:

<txp:ajw_comments_feed_link wraptag="p" label="RSS" flavor="rss" />

Ok, I’ve updated the documentation in an attempt to clarify things. My poor, fugly website needs a major facelift.

I’m also very close to releasing the first official /clean/feed/urls/plugin… Woohoo! (compatible w/ this plugin, too)

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ajw_comments_feed

How do you actually get textpattern to write the url of a comments feed for a particular article?
I tried this in the comments_display form:
<code><a href=”/<txp:section />/<txp:title />/rss”>subcribe</a></code>
But it falls down when the title has more than one word in it…

Am I way wide of the mark?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ajw_comments_feed

By default, this plugin will operate in messy mode. In order to get clean comments feeds, you’ll need to install <code>ajw_clean_feed</code>. Clean urls for article comments feeds are generated by ajw_clean_feed_link and will consist of your permalink, followed by /rss or /atom. Check this example for syntax.
