Comments for How to use the syndicate (RSS) component in Joomla! at http://www.howtojoomla.net , comment 1 to 45 out of 20 comments http://www.howtojoomla.net Thu, 28 Aug 2008 21:42:18 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/37/4/#comment-963 What syndicate seems to lack is the ability to just show the article in the feed, like blogger does. This has big advantages for speed of download. Or have I missed a trick? To see what I mean, compare the new blog (on our website [url]http://nbepiphany.co.uk[/url]) and old blog ([url]http://nbepiphany.blogspot.com[/url]) feeds TIA - Big John Tue, 12 Aug 2008 07:17:34 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/37/4/#comment-956 Hi Tre... you should try Joe Leblanc's podcast suite. You can find information about it at www.jlleblanc.com. - Cory Thu, 07 Aug 2008 09:36:57 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/37/4/#comment-955 I'm trying to figure this RSS thing. I get the basic gist of the syndication module for text articles, but I'm having a tough time finding info on syndicating mp3 audio, ie podcasting. Will this module work similarly for audio? If so, what alterations need to be made to the process? If not, how can I set my Joomla 1.5 site to deliver weekly audio podcasts to subscribers? Thanks, Tre - Tre Thu, 07 Aug 2008 08:55:44 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/37/4/#comment-861 Hi Edward... Syndication is handled a bit differently in Joomla 1.5. There is a syndication module available that automatically generates an RSS feed based on the page/component it is on. For example, if you have a menu item for a blog category layout, and publish the syndicate module on that menu item, it will automatically generate an RSS feed link for that blog category. - Cory Wed, 25 Jun 2008 08:12:18 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/37/4/#comment-859 Hi sorry if this is a dumb question, I've just installed Joomla 1.5 and I'm looking everywhere for some way of syndicating my content. On this article I saw the 'Syndicate' component on J1.0 but on 1.5 I can only see a way to present other people's feeds. Do I need to install a component or something to do this? Thanks Edward - Edward Wed, 25 Jun 2008 05:14:47 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/37/4/#comment-844 Hi Gino... Yes, anything is possible with Joomla. However, I don't know if there is a component available that does that. You would have to build your own or hire someone to do build one for you. - Cory Wed, 18 Jun 2008 22:25:05 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/37/4/#comment-843 Great article, Do you know if it's possible to create a feed for content items that would usually have "Registered" user acess level? - Gino Wed, 18 Jun 2008 22:11:05 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/37/4/#comment-782 Hi Cory - thanks for that - very helpful... but I seem to be missing a trick. will the sydication work with out feedburner? I have never used RSS feeds myself :( now regret it. I have set up the module and the component, but not feedburner. Not sure to it's role? when you click on the RSS 2.0 icon on the site, it just opens Outlook and pastes alot of code into a window. I'm sure this is not right. Any thoughts? Sonia - sonia Thu, 08 May 2008 06:29:57 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/37/4/#comment-745 I'll give that a try - Thanks! - Adam Fri, 28 Mar 2008 09:41:43 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/37/4/#comment-738 Hi Adam, That problem has to do with caching. If you are using Feedburner, it has probably already picked up the "Joomla! Powered Site" title, and you can either wait it out or contact Feedburner to update your feed. Another thing you can do is turn caching off temporarily in the syndicate component so your new title comes across, then turn caching back on. Good luck! - Cory Wed, 26 Mar 2008 21:10:40 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/37/4/#comment-737 Cory help! I'm having the same problem as Chris. S did above - I can't get rid of the "Joomla! Powered Site" title, despite changing the title in the syndications settings section. Any ideas as to how I can fix this? - Adam Wed, 26 Mar 2008 21:06:29 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/37/4/#comment-627 Ok--this is one of those Twilight Zone Things (that usually occur in using Linux for me, but I switched templates, and it's working. Is that even possible to have a bug in a template? Anyway, it works. Thanks for your help--I discovered your site accidentally, but I'm excited to continue to use it now that I found it! - Chris S. Sun, 09 Dec 2007 13:28:42 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/37/4/#comment-625 No, haven't touched a thing. This is a brand new install of Joomla! (same day actually), and the first time I tried playing with it at all. - Chris S Sun, 09 Dec 2007 07:29:24 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/37/4/#comment-624 Hi Chris...That is really weird. Did you make any modifications to the component? - Cory Sat, 08 Dec 2007 22:59:56 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/37/4/#comment-623 Ok--hopefully this is a new one for you--I have designed a variety of joomla sites in the past, and the syndication worked fine. On this latest one, all the versions of RSS' work fine, except RSS 2.0. When I click on the logo or the one in the URL bar, it takes me to a 'Powered by Joomla!' title, where all the other logos take me to the title I put in the component. Really weird. Any ideas? - Chris S Sat, 08 Dec 2007 20:48:26 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/37/4/#comment-581 Hello Corey, I want to use www. feeddigest.com to add content to my site. I want to use the php rss code, so the content can be read by the search engine bots. I am confuse of how to go about this. I was told to paste the code into a new created module,after I turn of my wysiwyg editor ....etc on the joomla forum. I have tried this but it does not work. You seem to have a deep understanding about this rss stuff. Can you help me? Very Grateful alvin :) - alvin Wed, 07 Nov 2007 06:11:05 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/37/4/#comment-458 Cory, you rock! thanks anyway, I'll sort it out. Cheers! - Elles Tue, 04 Sep 2007 19:06:18 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/37/4/#comment-457 Hi Elles, I don't know what to tell you about that. Sometimes that sort of stuff gets cached on the Feedburner side. It could also be a setting in your component that is not quite set correctly. Without seeing it, I could not tell you. - Cory Tue, 04 Sep 2007 18:06:11 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/37/4/#comment-456 Hi Cory, Excellent! Thank you! That component is dead easy and does the trick. I just have one quick question if you would indulge me once more.... here is the link to my feed, http://feeds.feedburner.com/SuperSmartGames/cmoe . The problem I can't solve, is how to make the title stop saying "powered by Joomla" rather than the titles that I gave the feed in both the Run Digital component and on Feedburner. Strange right? Thanks again for this article and the others you have written. Really, really helpful stuff. Elles - Elles Tue, 04 Sep 2007 17:59:59 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/37/4/#comment-447 Hi Elles, I use RD RSS (http://www.run-digital.com/download/rss_feed_manager.html) from Run Digital. It enables me to specify sections and/or categories to include in different feeds. You can see my various feeds here http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/47/31/. I use a combination of RD RSS and Feedburner. Cory - Cory Wed, 29 Aug 2007 08:40:41 +0100
