I had a need to generate a basic media rss feed
(http://video.search.yahoo.com/mrss) for
photologue galleries. It is implemented (attached) and works well for easily
generating a feed for
each gallery as well as a basic feed for the gallery archive. It should be very
easy to integrate into
photologue with sensible defaults, if there is interest.
Consider this user code added to urls.py:
from utils.feedgenerator import photofeeds
urlpatterns += patterns('',
url(r'^feeds/(?P<url>.*)/$', 'django.contrib.syndication.views.feed', {'feed_dict': photofeeds}),
)
Without customization, this will generate a feed for the gallery archive at
/feeds/gallery/
It will contain a single photo per gallery, as returned by Gallery.sample()
Additionally, each gallery has a dynamic feed available at the url via
Gallery.title_slug:
/feeds/gallery/gallery-title-slug/
This feed will contain an Item for each Photo in the Gallery
All that is left is to add an autodiscovery feed to your pages in <head>:
e.g Add something like this to gallery_detail.html:
<link rel="alternate" href="/feeds/gallery/{{ object.title_slug }}/"
type="application/rss+xml" title="Photologue Gallery - {{ object.title }}"
id="gallery_feed" />
