feedmod plugin

This Action Plugin modifies the content of DokuWiki's full HTML feed to make it suitable for blogging purposes. It removes the first headline from the feed item body and sets it as feed item title. It also detects if the page uses the discussion plugin and adds a link to the discussion section after the feed item. It has also support for a custom footer template which gets added to each feed item. This can be used to add links to social bookmarking services for example (see customization).

Note: The plugin modifies the feed only if two conditions are set, namely when the content is set to html and linkto is set to direct (see syndication).

Download the archive and unpack it into <dokuwiki>/lib/plugins.

• .tgz Plugin Manager.

The plugin is also available via darcs.

% cd <dokuwiki>/lib/plugins
% darcs get http://chimeric.de/_dev/darcs/dokuwiki/plugins/feedmod

The plugin has support for a custom footer template which gets added to every feed item. To get it working you have to create a file named _footer.txt below the plugin directory. The plugin contains a _footer.txt.dist file which contains some examples. The following replacement patterns can be used in this file.

Here's a short example for social bookmarking services:

<a href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=@URL@" title="Digg this post">Digg this post</a> &middot;
<a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=@URL@" title="Digg this post">Stumble it</a> &middot;

Is it possible to make this plugin to handle DRAFTs properly also in content=abstract mode? — Martin Plicka 2008/09/07 18:29

Hmmm, I am actually wondering if it wouldn't make more sense to add that functionality directly to the blog plugin (the draft handling for feeds) because it's obviously of no use to have them in any feed. — Michael Klier 2008/09/08 21:46

Very good idea. As i see blog's draft component, it seems to be very easy. I ought to take a look at code before — Martin Plicka 2008/09/08 22:15
