Feed per category #22

Closed Fryboyter closed 5 years ago

Fryboyter commented 7 years ago

Hello,

i am running a site with wordpress. Some of the articles under a certain category are published on an other side (osbn.de (not mine)). This sides fetches the articles with an rss feed which contains just the articles under this certain category (http://www.example.com/category/categoryname/feed for instance).

Because am not very happy with Wordpress i want to switch to Bolt CMS. Do you see a chance that this extension will support feeds per category in the near future? Unfortunately i am not a programmer and therefore i am not able to alter this extension by myself or create a new one and i am not very comfortable with the workaround i posted under https://discuss.bolt.cm/d/652-feed-per-category.

Thank you very much in advance for your answer. Jens

Did you come to a solid solution for this 'feeds per category'?

Fryboyter commented 6 years ago

I have a solution by now. But I wouldn't necessarily call it solid. Unfortunately I don't have the knowledge to modify Bolt or this extension accordingly, so I made a php file which retrieves all necessary information from the database and saves it into an XML file. I then run the php file as a cronjob every 15 minutes. Not optimal but it works at least. However, I would be glad if someone with the appropriate knowledge would modify this extension accordingly.
