ATOM / RSS and Comments

Posted by David Glassborow Tue, 17 Oct 2006 09:00:00 GMT

After all the effort of changing Weblogs, I’ve realised that Typo ‘out of the box’ does not support comments added to its syndication streams. I’ve hacked around in the code and managed to get something working. Rails XML helpers make this stuff pretty easy.

Weirdly there does not seem to be an agreed format for doing comments in ATOM at all, where as RSS has various different comment tags. I’ve used wfs:commentsRss and slash:comments nodes in both formats, with the comments just in Rss 2. The Feed Validator seems happy.

Anyway the following work well with my aggregator, Rss Bandit, as well as IE 7. If anyone has any problems with other aggregators, can you let me know. Thanks.
