RSS Feeds Plugin for Gossamer Links
Where do I get the RSS Feeds plugin that comes with Gossamer Threads?

Wasn't it supposed to be included in the install?

Hi,

I think the "XMLResults" plugin (you can download this from Plugins > Plugin Download > List All , then goto page 13, and its just about the last one.

Hope that helps.

Cheers

I've written my own rss feed template and then used Andy's PageCreator plugin to create the feed page.

Why such a roundabout way? I was already using the PageCreator plugin and I wanted the feed to only show 'NewLinks'. It was just a case of adding an extra page rather than loading another plugin.

Hi,

I think what they are trying to do, is use it for search results.

For example:

search.cgi?query=xxx;xml_feed=1

..and then the results are shown via an XML feed, instead of HTML :)

Cheers

This is a very versatile plugin. On our site, we use it for a main RSS feed and then we have rewrite rules setup to produce feeds for the newest links in each category e.g.

Code:
RewriteRule rss.xml /cgi-bin/search.cgi?query=;sb=ID;so=DESC;xml_feed=1
RewriteRule catname1_rss.xml /cgi-bin/search.cgi?query=;sb=ID;so=DESC;catid=1;xml_feed=1
RewriteRule catname2_rss.xml /cgi-bin/search.cgi?query=;sb=ID;so=DESC;catid=2;xml_feed=1

Then we add these URLs into FeedBurner to tidy up the feed URLs and track the subscribers.

I have submitted a feed to FedBurner like this:

Code:
/search.cgi?isNew=Yes;sb=Add_Date;so=DESC;xml_feed=1

Can you tell me what the rewrite rules do and do I need to create one?

I'm not sure if you can submit that URL to FeedBurner, it is better if it is a static URL that uses the rewrite e..g http://www.domain.com/rss.xml

A static URL like the above can be added as a link on your site or automatically picked up as a valid feed by a browser. All the rewrite is doing is converting the cgi-bin dynamic address to a static address.

Something like this should work:

Code:
RewriteRule rss_feed/New.xml /cgi-bin/search.cgi?isNew=Yes;sb=Add_Date;so=DESC;xml_feed=1

..then try accessing at:

domain.com/rss_feed/New.xml

Hope that helps.

Hi,

Have problem with this.

I'm also using this option to display new links on XML sorted by ID (or date), /search.cgi?isNew=Yes;sb=ID;so=DESC;xml_feed=1


However, because I'm using your 'NewInCategory' plugin, when I execute about command, links are not sorted by links id but by categories alphabet.

Is there any way to to fix this?

Regards.

Hi,

Mmm, not sure if the NewInCategory plugin would affect what your trying to do. Are you just saying the links are not coming out in alphabetical order? If so, try something like:

search.cgi?isNew=Yes;sb=Title;so=DESC;xml_feed=1

Cheers

No, I'm trying to say that links are not sorted by ID but are sorthem aphabetical order of categories.

See this: http://www.unreal.hr/cgi-bin/imenik/search.cgi?isNew=Yes&sb=ID&so=DESC;xml_feed=1

This is not sorted by ID! If you remove "xml_feed=1" and try this http://www.unreal.hr/cgi-bin/imenik/search.cgi?isNew=Yes&sb=ID&so=DESC you will see that links are sorted by categories!

Re: [Andy] RSS Feeds Plugin for Gossamer Links In reply to
Hm...you're right.

Then, this option isn't working well. I think that links should be sorted by ID and then group by category and not sorted and group by category. GT? Any fix maybe?
