Paginated RSS Feeds #41

Open Aalaizah opened 9 years ago

Aalaizah commented 9 years ago

So I just noticed that my blog uses paginated RSS feeds, which according to what I can find is supported by the RSS standard, but it's causing only 15 posts to show in my participants counter. Is there a way for ofCourse to support this?

ryansb commented 9 years ago

Sure can. Can you give me a link to the RFC section & your blog RSS?

ryansb commented 9 years ago

It's not too tough a feature to add, I'd be happy to teach you how to add & test it if you'd like extra credit in @decause's class.

Aalaizah commented 9 years ago

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5005#section-3, i believe is the rfc, http://ghost-alexandriamack.rhcloud.com/tag/bizlegal/rss/ is my feed, I'd definitely love to try and add it in for you guys. I'm busy this weekend but can be in IRC on Monday to work on it.

ryansb commented 9 years ago

Sounds great, just hit me up in IRC when you have questions.

ryansb commented 9 years ago

Your blog doesn't actually follow the RFC. It lacks a "next" link.

@ryansb a suggested fix would be to create a supplemental Ghost Blog patch for ofCourse feeds that follows Ghost's structure for paginated RSS.

Basically we would have to do 

feed/0
feed/1
...
feed/n

I personally don't think that creating a supplemental patch would be very useful for the future of ofCourse. I think it would be a better idea to have a student submit a patch to Ghost to fix their RSS parsing.

Ultimately I'm on the side of encouraging students to switch their blogs away from Ghost until this issue is fixed. I think it would also give students a great bug to track down and fix in Ghost.

I noticed this a few days ago and am looking into it. I'll probably be switching my blog away from ghost until I have time to sit down and hopefully fix things.

ryansb commented 9 years ago

Have you had a chance to work on this?

Aalaizah commented 9 years ago

I have not had a chance to work on this. I'm not sure if I will anytime soon.

As @amm4108 found, the issue for this in upstream seems to be https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/issues/2263#issuecomment-88221173

As that issue has been closed, could someone test to see if it's been fixed? From the comments it doesn't seem to be, but it would be nice to have up-to-date info here.

Aalaizah commented 8 years ago

I just checked and it has not been fixed in the latest version of Ghost, I'm not sure why they closed the issue but they have supposedly been working on it.

msoucy commented 8 years ago

Thanks for checking! I've marked this as "help wanted" so that we can figure out if we really want a ghost-specific handler.

If I recall correctly, @wilfriedE used Ghost in spring 2016 and might be able to help us test this.

wilfriedE commented 7 years ago

@ritjoe I did, I can take a look at this.
