Podcasts RSS feed order reversed (Joomla 3.3.6, Podcast Manager 2.1) #188

Closed StianOby closed 9 years ago

StianOby commented 9 years ago

I have just upgraded to Joomla 3, and Podcast Manager 2.1. Everything seems to work fine, with one exception: the RSS feed of podcast episodes is reveresed. The oldest podcast is listed first, and the newest at the bottom. I guess this is a bug?

For an example, see the following URL: http://halonorge.org/site/component/podcastmanager/?format=raw&feedname=1&limit=*

(Have tried to create an entirely new feed, and populated it with new test podcasts, but the issue remains.)

It was a deliberate decision to order the RSS feed the way it is and unfortunately the resources I used to reference from Apple for generating the feed are no longer available to check to see if that had a specific requirement.

StianOby commented 9 years ago

Okey, so this will in other words work fine with podcast applications, even though it looks funky on the desktop?

mbabker commented 9 years ago

Correct.

Great! Thanks for a quick response to my rather dumbfounded question :-p

Any chance of putting something in later to order it with most recent at the top? I wanted to share the rss feeds on my site with someone else who is running a non-Joomla site to aggregate podcasts into an on-line service for visually-impaired users and the other party was surprised at the ordering. All the other feeds they had been given were ordered with latest episode at the top. I am nowhere near clever enough to work out doing this myself, sorry.

Definitely something that can be considered.

I have been having a look at the Apple documents on iTunes. There is an example rss feed given - the ordering has the most recent episode at the top of the list.

Alright, I've incorporated these options into the RSS feed menu item and will be available with the next release.
