--- Comment #11 from Jools Wills <b...@exotica.org.uk> 2010-01-08 18:37:06 UTC --- Created an attachment (id=6939) --> (https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/attachment.cgi?id=6939) patch to add guid and permalink support to feeds Despite it technically being ok not to have a guid, it is an annoyance. And a quote from the RSS Spec says "In all cases, it's recommended that you provide the guid, and if possible make it a permalink. This enables aggregators to not repeat items, even if there have been editing changes." And infact this is the main problem I am having in that I have an extension that uses the RSS feed system, and if i make a change to an item, it will be repeated as the RSS software can not tell that it is an old item. I have made a patch, that not only allows adding of a guid, allows you to set it as a permalink for RSS (this is not needed for atom). it also makes the atom use the new guid, which by default is set to the url, but can be changed with a setuniqueid call on the item. Please can we get this sorted as soon as possible! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
