Hi there!
I love BlogIt, but I always found the solution for making RSS-feeds for
it that is described at
http://www.bekolay.org/wiki/Tutorials/PmWikiBlogAdministration somewhat
unsatisfying. First of all, the configuration is not very simple,
especially for beginners. Next, the RSS feed is not in sync with the
blog posts on your website if you, for example, delete a post.
So I've created a simpler solution using pagelists and put it into a
cookbook, so it's easy to set up. Please have a look at it at
http://www.hello-it.eu/uploads/blogit-rss.zip
Here is a configuration sample:
//RSS for BlogIt (always add these lines AFTER you have included the BlogIt
//script!)
// Define a page under which the RSS feed will be available. This page
does not
// have to exist, it is just for the RSS feed URL, which will be like:
// http://yoursite.com/index.php/Newsfeeds/Blog
$bi_RSSPage = 'Newsfeeds.Blog';
// Enter the group in which your blog entries are always posted.
$bi_RSSGroup = $bi_DefaultGroup;
include_once("$FarmD/cookbook/blogit-rss.php");
What do you think of it (this goes especially out to the author of
BlogIt, DaveG ;)? Shall I release it as a Cookbook or should it be
integrated into BlogIt?
Firstly, thanks for taking the time to do this. Incorporating the config
for RSS feed setup has been on the todo list for a while, but the
instructions from Bekolay removed any urgency on my part. I think your
cookbook is another excellent step to making the config easier.
Unfortunately right now I don't have time to incorporate the ideas into
BlogIt, but I will shift the RSS request up the queue, so it will be
incorporated in some form sooner, not later.
In the interim perhaps setup this up as a separate recipe; feel free to
add links to it from the BlogIt page.
A few quick comments on the recipe:
- FeedText() function ignores PmWiki permissions on the page. So this
will display pages that users may not have permissions to see.
- You are assuming that all pages in the Blog group are BlogIt pages,
which may not be true. You'd need to check for PTV entrytype=='blog'.
