hey guys / gals,

i have two blogs on one page, a main blog and a mini links blog, so to speak. is there as easy way to combine these into one rss feed?

This is just a template modification, much like modifying any other template to show a combined setup.  You go to the rss feed in question (ie rss_atom) or whatever - find the {exp;weblog:entries} tag and it should have weblog=“weblog1” or some such, just pipe in the second weblog, ie weblog=“weblog1|weblog2” and then add the custom feeds between that and the closing {/exp:weblog:entries} tag =)

Well, it’s almost as easy as LisaJill says. However, there are a few tricks.

The {exp:rss:feed} tag can only name one weblog. That’s the weblog information that will appear in the “channel” description. This usually consists of the weblog name, the description (if you have one), and the language coding. You can always replace the variables with specific text if you don’t want it to have the information from a particular weblog.

For the dc:date (or pubDate) element of the channel, you probably want the date of the latest entry on any of the included weblogs. To do that, replace the

with

(being sure to set all of the weblog names in there).

And, as LisaJill said, put all of the weblog names in the {exp:weblog:entries weblog=“weblog1|weblog2|weblog3”} tag that generates the items. You might want to increase the “limit” to allow additional items, since they’re coming from multiple weblogs.

I’m lazy, I never worried about those other things.

thanks guys, pretty simple huh? haha. well, changes are made. hopefully it works. best!

Hmm, you might, or might not, want to use “gmt_edit_date” instead of “gmt_entry_date” like I wrote above. The gmt_entry_date gives the date of original article submission, not the latest edit that was made.

Oh, and wiki’d.

Hi all,
that helped, but what if I have 2 different permalink-templates :-(
Let´s say I have 2 weblogs, articles and products,
Each article goes into articles/more and products are under products/details

I assume that in

<items>
    <rdf:Seq>{exp:weblog:entries weblog=“weblog1|anbieter” limit=“15”}
    <rdf:li rdf:resource=”{title_permalink=weblog/index}” />
    {/exp:weblog:entries}</rdf:Seq>
  </items>

the line
    <rdf:li rdf:resource=”{title_permalink=weblog/index}” />

the weblog/index will be replaced by articles/index and products/index (when using the example). But I would need articles/more and products/details.

Can I build an {if} clause here or do I need to change products/details into products/more?

cheers

don’t use title_permalink, using {comment_url_title_auto_path} instead - that will pull up the comment URL for the weblog in question.  If you use that as your permalink page then you won’t have a problem.

You can use {if} clauses if you want.

But in many cases it is easier to use a comment auto_path: {comment_url_title_auto_path}, {comment_entry_id_auto_path}, or {comment_auto_path}. These use the “comment page URL” that you set up for each weblog under “Weblog Preferences”. The standard RSS 1.0 template uses comment_url_title_auto_path.

how i can change this: <rdf:li rdf:resource=”{title_permalink=weblog/index}” /> to the comment page? on which place i must write comment_url…..?

and how i can use this with comment in rss2? on which place i need the changings?

right there.

<rdf:li rdf:resource=”{title_permalink=weblog/index}” />

to

<rdf:li rdf:resource=”{comment_url_title_auto_path}” />

and anywhere else that title_permalink thing is used.

The same thing, anywhere you see a path= statement, or a title_permalink= statement, just replace it as in the example above.
