------------------------------------------+--------------------------------
A very common element to pull into an RSS feed is the content:encoded
element. In a blog, for example, it allows you to put a full entry into
your RSS feed, including the HTML in that entry (headings, paragraphs,
lists, whatnot).
I couldn't find a way to get this element to work, given the current
contrib.syndication module. I would do this:
{{{
class ExtendedRSSFeed(feedgenerator.Rss201rev2Feed):
"""
Create a type of RSS feed that has content:encoded elements.
"""
def root_attributes(self):
attrs = super(ExtendedRSSFeed, self).root_attributes()
attrs['xmlns:content'] =
'http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/'
return attrs
def add_item_elements(self, handler, item):
super(ExtendedRSSFeed, self).add_item_elements(handler, item)
handler.addQuickElement(u'content:encoded',
item['content_encoded'])
...
class TheFeed(Feed):
feed_type = ExtendedRSSFeed
....
def item_extra_kwargs(self, item):
return {'content_encoded': self.item_content_encoded(item)}
def item_content_encoded(self, item):
return "<![CDATA[%s]]>" % item.content
}}}
But that would generate a feed with all of the HTML bits autoescaped...
even if I put an {% autoescape off %} block in the template where the
content:encoded was being pulled from. So, instead of being able to stick
html tags inside the CDATA, I would just end up with a lot of <h1>
stuff.
After drilling in and finding the SimplerXMLGenerator, it seemed like the
ability to turn off autoescaping could be done at this point, without
breaking anyone's current implementations (see patch). Thus, the only
change to the above example becomes this:
{{{
class ExtendedRSSFeed(feedgenerator.Rss201rev2Feed):
"""
Create a type of RSS feed that has content:encoded elements.
"""
def root_attributes(self):
attrs = super(ExtendedRSSFeed, self).root_attributes()
attrs['xmlns:content'] =
'http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/'
return attrs
def add_item_elements(self, handler, item):
super(ExtendedRSSFeed, self).add_item_elements(handler, item)
handler.addQuickElement(u'content:encoded',
item['content_encoded'], escape=False)
}}}
And then content:encoded can be handled through the normal syndication
process.
