Is it possible to add some kind of PodCast, an mp3 file visible to podcast aggregators?
The site ipodder.org says the feed has to be compliant with "RSS 2.0 with enclosures" and I don't know what it is :-)
Thanks for help

You'll need a plugin that collects the MP3 files and adds them to a feed. There's a
collection of additional feed classes[*1] which includes one for RSS 2.0, but it may need some tweaks before it can write this particular format.

I'm not completely sure of where to put them :-(
[Edit]
Now I know where...but I'm not a "coder"...so I hope someone would put hands on these classes. The only thing I know is that podcasting requires the same info of RSS 2.0 with the addition of the enclosure tag and its properties.
Maybe it's not difficult for who wrote these classes.
I'll wait for answers :-)

I'm in the exact same boat as the other guy. Anyone have any clear-cut answers? A step-by-step on how to "tweak" the code, for example?

Struggling with the same issue here, would love to find a plugin for this sort of thing. Consider this a *bump*

I know this doesn't help much from an automated standpoint, but I just added a new XML file to a directory I labeled 'rss' and publish my new podcasts manually through that method. Then I hand out a separate feed for the podcast subscription. Not the most efficient method, but for me it works.
I also added this link in the header.thtml file (of my main theme) so that Firefox and other RSS ready browsers will see it.
http://www.davidblog.com if you want to see it in action.
http://www.davidblog.com/rss/podcast.xml to go right to it.

Isn't it a breach of the GPL contract that you've removed the "Powered by Geeklog" statement (nor replaced it with something similar)?

Have you read the GPL license that you say that?
How do people supposed to know the site is not his own creation from scratch?

We have stated more than once that while we think it would be nice if you left that link back to us intact, we don't mind when you remove it.

Any luck getting those classes to except enclosures? I'd like to add podcasts to my site as well.

Yes, I can only agree. Podcasting seems to be a real trend and the beginning of a big turnover! An absolute killer application a fantastic new world.
Up to now I found plug ins for Wordpress. Would be lovely to have one for Geeklog. I wonder what has to be considered. Basically I`d create a cat e.g. of the name podcast and when I write an article I`d like to upload pictures and MP3. When an article contains an MP3 the download position should be included in the RSS-feed.
How does one apply the plugin "collection of additional feed classes"? There is no instruction.

Have you tried
Wimpy Player[*2] ? It supports podcasting now. And it's cheap to boot.
I have it as a popup music player on my site.

I had a look at this Wimpy Player website. How does it get the information for the RSS feed, from the MP3 tags?

With iTunes requiring all sorts of crazy addiional fields for podcasts, I'm not sure how Wimpy would work out. I'll test it out on my own show and let you know if it works well.

Well, depending on the amount of podcasts you are producing it might be o.k. to produce the RSS feed manually. Here is the page with instructions for iTunes: http://phobos.apple.com/static/iTunesRSS.html

If you want to set up podcasting, it will be possible in 1.3.12 to write a podcasting plugin.
The plugin will have to implement:
plugin_getfeednames_podcastingplugin();
which should return an array of id/name pairs. (1.3.11 supports this already)
Then it will have to implement:
plugin_getfeedcontent_podcastingplugin($feed,$link,$update_data, $feedtype, $feedversion);
Which should return an array of content, of format:
array( 'title' => $storytitle,
'summary' => $storytext,
'text' => $fulltext,
'link' => $storylink,
'uid' => $row['uid'],
'author' => COM_getDisplayName( $row['uid'] ),
'date' => $row['modified'],
'format' => $row['postmode'],
'commenturl' => $storylink . '#comments',
'topic' => $topic,
'extensions' => $extensionTags,
);
Where extensiontags is an array of XML tags, which would be exactly one tag for you, the podcast one.
Then 1.3.12 will generate a podcast feed for you.

Horray! I'll be counting the days until 1.3.12 then. I'm tired of hand-coding.

Will it possible to create a second feed off the podcast plugin for iTunes? There's a different set of variables that are required.
See
here[*4] .

It will be possible for a plugin to insert any arbitrary tags into any feed, at the meta level, or item level.
So it'll be pretty easy for a podcasting plugin to insert RSS 2.0 enclosures and iTunes extensions

There are so many settings for a podcast RSS and especially for iTunes, that the plugin for Geeklog probably would be quite complex.
I think the best solution for the time being (and maybe longer) is to install loudblog http://loudblog.de/index.php and include it with an iframe into geeklog. Works very well.

Well 1.4.1 is out now. I`m curious when the plugin will be out then.
I redesigned the output theme of loudblog to match closer the looks of GL: http://www.taftgel.de/index.php?topic=Hrproben If you click RSS-Feed you will see it opens in an iframe.
Loudblog is really nice and works well.

I now have a working podcast plugin for Geeklog 1.4.0 and above.
The plugin is an early version, it doesn't have a lot of polish and detail, and is not tested ready for production use, but I am looking for people interested in helping test it out.
Drop me a reply here, or a pm, or an email and I'll send you what I have with a limited set of instructions and you can have a play.
The plugin creates a fully validated RSS 2.0 with Enclosures feed with all iTunes extensions.

I'm fairly certain the extra variables wouldn't hurt a normal podcast RSS, so a second feed would be unnecessary. Properly-designed podcast players won't be thrown off by the extras.
I'm eager to see this plugin, as I've been tossing around doing a podcast for one of my Geeklog sites.

I'll post up the podcast plugin. It works fully, could do with a little finessing and some more features adding though.

hey Tampano! I've been using libsyn.com for two years now, it's a podcast network and it allows you to embed mp3 players really easy, it's all in their menu. Check it out, it might work for you! Jake, an old

No. The GPL only has any effect over Geeklog if you give it to someone else. If you do, you have to pass on a copy of the GPL, the source code (irrelevant since php IS the source code), and relicense all of your changes under the GPL.
Now, the professional theme is licensed under the GPL, but a theme MAY be licensed under something like CC-attribution or CC-noncom. Implementing an API isn't creating a derivative work (assuming it's from scratch), so whatever a theme creator would like to license it under is their own deal - you just have to follow the terms they lay down.
