    Greetings,

    I created a blog using the Articles package. In the articles settings page I have the URL for the RSS Feed as feed.rss. I have appended this to the blog URL in many different formats and it continues to redirect me to the home page.

    Can anyone help shed some light on this situation?


    Thanks in advance,
    Matt

      It hasn't worked in some time. It was supposedly fixed, and then broken again.

      I looked at the code this morning and at first glance, I did not find where it is handled in the router class or the main class.

      I subsequently started changing all of my blog content to a getResources, Collections, Tagger combination. This way I can build my own rss feed with getResources or pdoTools.

      One thing you can do is to create a page outside the Articles container with the feed for that container.

      I didn't like that idea so I am simply converting to Collections. I only have a couple hundred articles to move.

        That's a good idea. I think I will create a blog without the articles package, then do as you instructed. All of the little chunks in Articles makes it difficult for templating as well.

          Is there a set of packages I can use to build a blog? Maybe use standard article resources with Quip, Archivist and Tagger or something? I don't like having a package contain too many pieces.
          • W. Shawn Wilkerson Reply #5, 9 years ago
            With Articles or not you are going to have a few pieces. Articles was a super class which install a bunch of other packages.

            I have pdoTools, Collections, Quip, getResources, Tagger, HitsPage, GoogleSiteMap, fastField, Wayfinder and a few others. But those are the main ones you'll need.

                I was away on vacation all weekend. I am working it out now.

                  Does anyone know a fix for the Articles feed?

                      ...I have pdoTools, Collections, Quip, getResources, Tagger, HitsPage, GoogleSiteMap, fastField, Wayfinder and a few others. But those are the main ones you'll need.

                      If you are looking for a less package heavy approach you should be able to just use: pdoTools, Collections, Quip, Tagger, HitsPage. In the case of getResources/getPage, GoogleSiteMap, fastField and Wayfinder they can all be replaced using pdoTools. I've even found most of the replacements to offer better memory usage/performance compared to their more traditional alternatives.

                      Quick examples:

                      getPage Replacement for Blog List:

                      [[!pdoPage? &limit=`6` &tvPrefix=`` &tpl=`article-row-tpl` &depth=`1` &tplPageWrapper=`@INLINE:<div class="pagination"><ul class="pagination">[[+prev]][[+pages]][[+next]]</ul></div>`]]

                      GoogleSiteMap Replacement:

                      [[!pdoSitemap]]

                      Wayfinder Replacement:

                      [[pdoMenu? &startId=`0` &level=`1` &outerTpl=`wf.outer` &parentRowTpl=`wf.row.parent` &innerRowTpl=`wf.row.inner` &rowTpl=`wf.row`]]

                      fastField:

                      [[#15.pagetitle]] or [[#[[++site_start]].pagetitle]]
