Workaround for rel="alternate" due to google podcasts rule #47

Closed diogodh closed 4 years ago

diogodh commented 4 years ago

I'm using your theme on my podcast home page. By default, aether creates the following index.html code "<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" href="/index.xml" title="Title" />

However, google has a rule that to a podcast be indexed it can only have one instance of <link rel="alternate" and needs to the the one from google <link type="application/rss+xml" rel="alternate" title="Title" href="feed.xml"/>

My question is how can i hardcode the index.html or even your theme to bypass this situation.

By default Hugo includes RSS as a default output format. To remove the the RSS link and to include your podcast's feed.xml see this docs section. That whole page on custom output formats should be helpful.

@diogodh were you able to solve this issue?

diogodh commented 4 years ago

Hey Joe. I am very thankful for your help, but as an amateur programing i found that section too confusing and I would mess up everything for sure. Even so, thank u for your help and for trying to figure if i solve it. Diogo

Add this to your config.toml file. The rss link tag will be replaced with your podcast's feed tag. Notice that you get a warning when building your site with these config changes. You can add a template for your new PodcastFeed output format which will automatically generate the feed.xml file and remove the warning.

[outputFormats]
  [outputFormats.PodcastFeed]
    baseName = "feed"
    isPlainText = true
    mediaType = "application/rss+xml"

[outputs]
  home = ["HTML", "PodcastFeed"]

I can work on adding a podcast template to the theme but I would like some info before I get started. Where do you store your podcast files? Posting an example of your feed.xml file would be very helpful.

I will do it as soon as possible. About my podcast, most podcast providers request a frontpage for the podcast, and you can see mine here:

http://medicinacomsotaque.com.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/

(amazon s3 hosting)

As for the feed.xml its here

http://medicinacomsotaque.com.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/pc/feed.xml

As its an hobbie, I am not spending time with the website, instead i spend providing episodes.

But thank you so much for your help and i will definitely change my source code to try your suggestion.

Feel free to contact me and if you want me as a beta tester, just say.

@diogodh any luck with the output formats fix? I haven't had a chance to implement a PodcastFeed output format but it's on my list.

diogodh commented 4 years ago

Hey. I just needed to customize the page so I had to hardcode the html and now i can't go back to hugo and add that fix otherwise i will lose all that i coded..

I'm both thankful for your help and sorry for have the need to hardcode the html.

Maybe if there is a podcast output i will change everything.

thanks

Okay, I am going to close this issue as I have tested the solution above as a fix for the re="alternate" google podcast rule.

diogodh commented 4 years ago

Thank you so much
