I have attempted to search the forums and have either missed this or just can't seem to find this one.

I want the live feed bookmark feature to show up on the browswer URL window and just can't seem to figure out how. Any assistance/advice is appreciated.

Current Setup:

Geeklog 1.4.0sr5-1
Content Syndication enabled to a file (wybb.rss)

The syndication works fine via Thunderbirds News aggregator, but I just don't get the Live Feed option in the URL window.

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance.

Make sure you have this in the head section of your theme's header.thtml:
Text Formatted Code
{feed_url}
 

Then, when creating / editing a feed, choose the appropriate entry from the "Header link in topic" drop-down menu. "All" means the link will be added on all pages, otherwise only in the selected topic.

bye, Dirk

Thanks for the response, but I have tried what you suggest and nothing seems to change. I don't "get" what you are trying to advise me on.

I am using the ShaDee2 Theme, which I should have mentioned originally. Here is the Header portion of the header.thtml file:


Text Formatted Code

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset={charset}">
<title>{page_title}</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{css_url}" title="{theme}">
{feed_url}

<!-- Needed JavaScript Code -->
<script language="JavaScript">
    var cleared = 0;

    function clearField(field)
    {
        if (cleared != 1) {
            field.value = ""
            cleared = 1
        } else {
            cleared = 0
        }
    }
</script>
{plg_headercode}
</head>

OK, solved the problem. I added the following line to my theme's header.thtml file:

Text Formatted Code
<link rel="alternate" title="Website RSS" href="http://www.mysite.com/backend/contentsyndicationfile.rss" type="application/rss+xml">
 


Change: "Website RSS" to whatever relavent name; mysite.com to your site; contentsyndicationfile.rss to your content syndication file name

Works great.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. A little fooling around and the problem was solved.

Hmm. The {feed_url} should do the same, only automatically ...

bye, Dirk
