With Chrome you just have to get an add-on for a Feed Reader in browser. Or copy the link to the rss feed into your preferred feed reader. You don’t want users downloading the xml file; that’s useless. You need to add the feed url to a feed reader. Firefox has one built-in, Chrome doesn’t. But there are several feed reader add-ons for Chrome.
I see i have not made my self too clear here, ma bad 😀 What i was actually trying to say is, that i would like, when the “feeds within feeds” is enabled, the parent feed would link the child feed directly to the site (table) and not to the feed within the child. Is that possible?
No, because there is no way of knowing which page your shortcode is on. You could have it on fifty pages, or one page. There’s no way of tying a directory on the server to a specific page that is going to accommodate all possible applications of File Away.
OK. Thanks for the heads up 🙂
I can maybe add a functionality where you have a CSV file in your Feed Storage directory, with two columns. One column for directories, and the other hard links. You could only have one URL per directory (so if you have the fileaway table on multiple pages, you would have to choose one).
DIRECTORY URL
path/to/dir1 http://www.mysite.com/mypage1/?drawer=to*dir1
path/to/dir2 http://www.mysite.com/mypage2/?drawer=to*dir2
path/to/dir3 http://www.mysite.com/mypage3/?drawer=to*dir3
What do you think of that?
That would be great! If i understood your “chinese” right 😀
3.7 is now up. See the new tutorial, RSS Dir-to-URL Mapping, in the Tutorials tab.
That’s great! I’ll give it a test drive soon.
Congrats and thanks!
Much better now!
It would have been nice to have a automated process for this CSV file, but beggars can’t be choosers 🙂
Thanks for your help and keep up the great work!
P.S.: Also, as a side note, is there a way to make the RSS feeds delete themselves? Since this great update (RSS feeds) i have made many changes to to my site to accommodate for the RSS feeds, yet many old feeds still appear.
There’s no way I can automate that. I don’t know what your pages are called, what attributes your shortcodes have. It can’t be a one-size-fits-all system.
That’s too bad, but thank’s for the heads up.
It’s not “too bad.” It’s in the very nature of what you’re asking for. You can put a File Away shortcode, or a hundred File Away shortcodes, on any page, or a thousand pages, on your site, or on any site. There’s no way for File Away to know which specific page to point to. You have to choose which page to point to for a given directory, and this is the simplest way to accomplish that.
Don’t get me wrong, you did what i asked and i thanked you for that. I was just simply stating the fact that it’s very time consuming for many people. I’m not in that category, since i have to edit the file 2-3 times a month (maybe). But some (like the guy with audio site, or the guy with the inline library) might think of it as a burden then a benefit, having to add tens of path and URLs on a daily basis.
But, as you said, it’s not possible, so no harm done.
P.S.: Never mind were i asked about if RSS feeds delete themselves, i was trolled by my Chrome extension, works fine in Mozilla 🙂
Right, Its just an option people have. The default behavior will still be to link to the rss feed, and that’s probably sufficient for most.
