RSS Aggregator

[Josh]

Can I use the RSS Aggregator plugin like a customized feedreader?

I would like to show a couple of feeds from search engines either on a static page or in a special category. Entries in this category should not be shown on my front page and in my recent entries list.

So far it seems all feeds in the RSS Aggregator show up on the front page. That is not very useful, because I don't want to display the feeds from other folks on the top of my front page.


Besides, I would like to display the name of the blog, whose feeds I am fetching.
I do not want to display the entire entries of the feeds, but only the headlines and perhaps the first couple of sentences from each entry.

I considered using the Remote RSS/OPML-Blogroll Feed, but a) it only works in the sidebar and b) it only fetches the headlines, but not the names of the blogs. I would like to display search feeds from Technorati, therefore I would like to display not just the headlines, but also the names of the blogs.

I have read the posts in this forum, but all the solutions offered there (modifying the sidebar rss plugin for the contact page or fetch a php script with iframes) are too complicated for me, since I am not a programmer. Or has someone written a code for those solutions that I could use?

How are you making use of the RSS aggregator in your own blogs?

Hi Josh!

Can I use the RSS Aggregator plugin like a customized feedreader?

Yes. That's basically the original intention for the Aggregator / Planet plugin.

I would like to show a couple of feeds from search engines either on a static page or in a special category. Entries in this category should not be shown on my front page and in my recent entries list.

I'd suggest you to setup a seperate blog for this.

But you can also do it the other way, with a performance hit - by installing the startcat / Start Category plugin and telling it to hide your special category.

You could also set the read permissions for that category to only registered members (like you) so it won't be shown in your default frontpage.

But it's really a lot easier with a seperate blog, because the aggregator plugin was not meant to be used in a blog where you contribute your own content.

Besides, I would like to display the name of the blog, whose feeds I am fetching.

That can be done with templates; the RSS aggregator plugin delivers a patch for the templates, so that you can see what you need to modify in your template to show this information.

I do not want to display the entire entries of the feeds, but only the headlines and perhaps the first couple of sentences from each entry.

The idea of the RSS aggregator plugin is that it treats foreign entries just like your own entries. So you cannot easily tell the aggregator to display foreign entries different than your own entries.

But if you know how to use Smarty Templating, you'll be able to make some queries to see if $entry.properties.* contains the fields which the aggregator adds to foreign entries, and you can then display content depending on this variable(s).

How are you making use of the RSS aggregator in your own blogs?

You might want to ask Kris Köhntopp, you uses http://planet.koehntopp.de/ as some sort of RSS reader.

But you can also do it the other way, with a performance hit - by installing the startcat / Start Category plugin and telling it to hide your special category.

I had thought about it, but Spartacus only mentioned that this plugin allows you to show only one category on the frontpage. Therefore I did not install it to see, whether showing all but one category works as well. Another lesson for me: I should never underestimate the power of plugins.

I tried it now. All the new entries in that category were mentioned in my "Recent Entries"-list on my frontpage, which I do not want.

I had a look at theme-patch.diff, but don't understand it. I also don't understand any smarty stuf.

Is it easy to install a new blog without buying a new domain?

Hi Josh!

I tried it now. All the new entries in that category were mentioned in my "Recent Entries"-list on my frontpage, which I do not want.

That is right, the "Recent Entries" plugin is a plugin completely on its own, which doesn't respect the category stuff (yet).

I had a look at theme-patch.diff, but don't understand it. I also don't understand any smarty stuf.

It's not so hard to understand - the lines prefixed with "-" mean "This line is removed". All lines with "+" mean "This line is added". Just try a bit, it is really not complicated, but required if you want customization.

Is it easy to install a new blog without buying a new domain?

Yeah, installing s9y isn't really hard. But you'll need a place where you install the blog to - you should not have one s9y installation in a s9y subdirectory.

Can't you create subdomains on your provider system? Like "planet.atlanticreview.org"?

I have set up a second blog http://germany-usa.atlanticreview.org/ as a planet.

Since the planet is supposed to attract readers to the various original blogs, I would like to display only the first couple of sentences rather than the entire entries. So far, however, the RSS Aggregator shows the entire text that is in the feeds.

Perhaps this would be a solution: The first step would be "a plugin or a feature which allows the text of the entry body to be automatically moved into the extended body when it exceeds a certain word count." (This plugin or feature was first requested by snowcrash. And Garvin gave some hints how such an plugin could be written: http://www.s9y.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3687 but it is far beyond my tiny expertise to write it: )

Second step: The entries.tpl would not link to the extended entry, but to the blog, who wrote this post. I already have such links at the end of the entries.

Well, perhaps this plugin is not necessary. Perhaps it could be all done in the entries.tpl... (Kristian does not know about such a feature, but is convinced that it can be done with smarty.)
I think a solution would be very useful to others who (plan to) use RSS aggregator as well.

(I have tried to use the "Split long entries"-plugin for this, but it does not make a difference.)



I have a second very weird problem with the RSS Agregator: About every second link does not work as it should.

If you go to http://germany-usa.atlanticreview.org/, you will see that the first entry links in the title first to the central homepage of "Dialog International" http://dialoginternational.typepad.com/ and then to the specific article ("Cheap Grace for Sale in US") in this blog. This is how it is suppossed to be.

However, if you scroll down to Thursday, December 29, you'll see that the first part of the title mentions "Dialog International," but links to http://germany-usa.atlanticreview.org/ rather than http://dialoginternational.typepad.com/. The second part of the title works fine and links to a specific article in Dialog International.

This is not a problem of that specific blog, because the other feeds that I am using have the same symptoms.

This my entries.tpl:

Sure, that's not a hard thing to do. See this copy of entries.tpl, search for "GARVIN:" for what I changed.

About your URL problem: The URL of the feed is drawn from the setup of your aggregator. You need to specifiy the URL of a feed into the "HTML URL" field, so that it can be put within your smarty template. If you'v eonly recently inputted it, it may not show up right for old entries...
