Feature request: generate RSS feed

[lccambiaghi]

Hi, how difficult would it be to generate an RSS feed for a weblorg site?

Thank you!!

hi @lccambiaghi! I use the following route and template to generate a RSS feed for all */*.org files in my website directory and that is all.

weblorg-route:

(weblorg-route
 :name "feed"
 :input-pattern "posts/*.org"
 :input-aggregate #'weblorg-input-aggregate-all-desc
 :template "feed.xml"
 :output ".build/feed.xml"
 :url "/feed.xml"
 :template-vars site-template-vars)

feed.xml template:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rss version="2.0"
     xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"
     xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/"

    <atom:link
      href="{{ url_for("feed") }}"
      rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" />
    <link>{{ SITE_URL }}</link>
    <description><![CDATA[]]></description>
    <language>en</language>
    <pubDate>{{ posts | first | getattr("date") | strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %z") }}</pubDate>
    <lastBuildDate>{{ now() | strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %z") }}</lastBuildDate>
    <generator>{{ meta.generator }}</generator>
    <webMaster>{{ SITE_EMAIL }} ({{ SITE_AUTHOR }})</webMaster>
    <image>
      <url>{{ SITE_URL }}/favicon.png</url>
      <title>{{ SITE_NAME }}</title>
      <link>{{ SITE_URL }}</link>
    </image>

    {% for post in posts %}
    <item>
      <title>{{ post.title }}</title>
      <link>{{ url_for("posts", slug=post.slug) }}</link>
      <author>{{ post.author|default("{{ SITE_EMAIL }} ({{ SITE_AUTHOR }})") }}</author>
      <guid isPermaLink="false">{{ url_for("posts", slug=post.slug) }}</guid>
      <pubDate>{{ post.date|strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %z") }}</pubDate>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[
          {% if post.subtitle %}<p><strong>{{ post.subtitle|safe }}</strong></p>{% endif %}
          {% if post.description %}<p>{{ post.description|safe }}</p>{% endif %}
          {{ post.html|safe }}
        ]]>
      </description>
    </item>
    {% endfor %}
  </channel>
</rss>
