Hi all: I am using the NewsFeed/RSS writing function of the SaveAs plugin from http://www.tiddlytools.com/#SaveAsPlugin version 2.5.2.
When I compare an xml file created by the plugin against the rss feed produced by the native rss mechanism. The native mechanism seems to sort the entries in published/last change date order while the SaveAsPlugin output is alphabetically sorted. The spec for RSS doesn't seem to specify the order, but in my case I am reading it with the RSSReaderPlugin from http://tiddlywiki.bidix.info/#RSSReaderPlugin and it doesn't sort either which makes the rss feed kind of useless for telling which entries have changed. I assume it was expecting the rss feeed to be sorted by last published date. Also if I use the ExportTiddlersPlugin rss feed mechanism they are date sorted, but I think that is because I sort the list by date before I do the export so .... Does anybody have a versin of RSSReaderPlugin that sorts the rss feed by date? Alternatively Eric, could I pester you some more to sort the xml rss output by date. I can't see any reason that the data shouldn't be sorted by last modified/pubDate. Also if it is easy to add to the code, an option to limit the number of tiddlers written to the rss file would be useful as well. Assuming it is date sorted, and writing starts from the newest tiddler, being able to specify any of: Total number of tiddlers to write A cutoff date so no tiddlers older than that date will be written A relative number of days in the past to write (basically a cutoff date of today - number of days) would be a great addition.
