Drupal: Feeds Modul

Alex Barth von developmentSEED stellt das Modul Feeds als Nachfolger des FeedAPI Moduls vor.

Die Features hören sich sehr verlockend an:

• Fetching data from file or HTTP sources
• Parsing RSS, Atom, CSV or OPML
• Producing either simple database records (with Data module), nodes, users or terms
• Use an importer configuration either by creating a node or on a stand alone form
• Presets for the most common aggregation and import tasks
• Integrated mapper for mapping feeds on a field level to CCK nodes, users, terms or SQL tables
• A views-style OOP plugin API that makes it easy to tweak existing plugins or create your own (big KUDOS to merlinofchaos for CTools’ plugin API)
• A views-style export-to-code functionality for configuration (again, hats off, merlinofchaos: CTools export API makes it easy to add exportables to a module)

Testen.

WordPress: Google News füttern

WP Engineer erklärt wie man mit WordPress eine News Sitemap erstellt.

Once you have the above syntax as a file in the root installation and successfully tested, then you only have to ask for inclusion in Google News. There is a form available. Then just wait for an answer from Google.
To see if you are indexed, you can simple search in Google News: site:domain.com.

WordPress: Theme und RSS Tips

Im Smashing Magazine gibt es 10 Useful RSS-Tricks and Hacks For WordPress.

Unter anderem: Control When Your Posts are Available via RSS, Insert Ads (or Anything Else) in Your RSS Feed, Format Your Images for Feed Readers, Exclude Categories from Your RSS Feed, Get Rid of RSS Feeds the Clean Way

Und Yoast stellt einige Funktionen für das Theming vor.

Recht praktisch finde ich:

// Remove Really simple discovery link

remove_action('wp_head', 'rsd_link');

// Remove Windows Live Writer link

remove_action('wp_head', 'wlwmanifest_link');

// Remove the version number

remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_generator');

Merge RSS Feeds mit Zend_Feed

Ein Artikel in Zend’s Developer Zone beschreibt Zend_Feed und einige etwas kompliziertere Themen.

Most of the basic actions, like importing an RSS feed, creating an RSS feed and more are covered in the Zend Framework manual. In this post I will elaborate more on the more advanced topics, like sorting and merging RSS feeds but I will also go briefly over the more basic stuff as well.
