Thread

See, now I’m not all consumed with my .htaccess issue I am finally getting to my cleanup tasks. So sorry!

Is there a slick way to aggregate content from multiple blogs to create a “global” site RSS feed and sitemap? Or do I just have to repeat (in the same template) the code for each blog? I’m guessing that’s the answer, which is fine for the RSS feed, but doesn’t necessarily create an optimal sitemap as you lose priority, yeah?

Take a look at EEDocs:// Variable: comment_url_tite_path

It should probably mean single entry title path. 😊

So as long as you have values set correctly for that part of the path, you create your links something like this:

<ul>
<li><a href="http://{comment_url_title_auto_path}">{title}</a></li>
</ul>

Make sense?

i apologize, but i don’t quite understand your response. how would the comment_url_title_auto_path help me with aggregated RSS feeds and sitemap?

to clarify my question:

currently i have 3 blogs: The Bryce, The Action, and The Word…each have their own database, template, and RSS feed. I would like to have a “parent” RSS feed that would aggregate all 3 blogs into a SINGLE feed. Similarly I would like to create a sitemap that included all 3 sites.

The RSS feed is probably simple (but not necessarily streamlined): just continue to create the appropriate XML for each blog (blog1 + blog2 + blog3, so feed would be grouped as such). However, a sitemap is different where you want to put priorities (in priority order, not blog grouping order i would assume) which would mean that the structure couldn’t be blog1, then blog2, and finally blog3.

Make sense?

it looks like one way to achieve an aggregated sitemap is to use a sitemap index as explained here: http://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.php#index. anyone have any best practices to share with this method?
