Serendipity Forums

i am using the plug in for RSS Aggregation and it is dropping the external URL these URLs are where the main article is. is there any way to keep these URLS in the feed. or include them in the feed. as it is i am importing them and then modifying each one of them so i get the full article.

Hi!

To include the entry URL you must modify your entries.tpl template file. Have a look at the file 'theme-patch.diff' of the serendipity_event_aggregator directory, it tells you which parts to modify of the defulat entries.tpl to include the URL variable.

Best regards,

i have made the changes to entries.tpl in default and i still am not getting the external links. is there something else i need to do?

Hi!

Then you did the wrong changes. What did you do? Are you sure you're editing the right entries.tpl file of the right template?

I am using this to grab rss feed which has been working fine. The only issue is that the author is left empty i.e. Posted by _____

How do I set the default author for this? i.e. I would like to name the author as RSS_Feeds etc? Thanks

Hi gansad!

For that you need to patch/edit the entries.tpl template file of the template you are using. Check out the theme-patch.diff file inside the serendipity_event_aggregator directory to see what you need to change.
