FeedBurner with phpMyFAQ 2.5.5

[jscavarda]

Greetings,
First, I wanted to say that phpMyFAQ has been very helpful and I commend all who took part in providing such a great resource. My question invoves configuring RSS. Has anyone configured phpMyFAQ 2.5.5 RSS to be interpreted by Feed Burner. I would like to use the Google feed burner reporting tools with the FAQ. It is required that the RSS feed links in the FAQ be directed to a URL similar to: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Example

Thank you for any assistance.

Hi,

Feedburner doesn't support RSS 2.0?

Hello,
Thanks for the reply. FeedBurner can apply services to source feeds of the following formats:
RSS 0.90, 0.91, 0.92, 0.93, 0.94, 1.0, 2.0, and Atom.

I am unclear on how to integrate the services with the rss.php files themselves. When clicking on the RSS icons, the link should redirect to the feedburner RSS interface similar to http://feeds.feedburner.com/phpmyfaq

Thanks,

perfect.

I use NetNewsWire as RSS application and when I click on the RSS button I got redirected to NetNewsWire. You have to configure this in your browser.

I guess what I was trying to accomplish was simlar to a function found in WordPress when using a plugin called FeedBurner FeedSmith.

Basically, all existing feeds simply become Feedburner feeds for all users and are redirected to your Feedburner feed URL
( http://feeds.feedburner.com/phpmyfaq )

This feature is an application specific function instead of a browser one. I appologize for my lack of PHP knowledge but it appears there is some integrated authentication allowing users to be redirected to the google feedburner associated with your feedburner account. See the following link for more info on FeedSmith: http://www.google.com/support/feedburne ... swer=78483

This may be a big task but it would be something nice to have in a future revisions of phpMyFAQ at some point.

Maybe you have some ideas that could make this work.

Thanks

Hi,

I'll take a look at it. One goal for 2.7 will be a better search engine optimization.

Just a quick update:
I found that by adding the feedburner feed address (http://feeds.feedburner.com/phpmyfaq) to the startpage.tpl file in the template directory it solved the problem, see below:

<div class="content">
<div id="topten">
<h3>{writeTopTenHeader} <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/phpmyfaqTopTen" target="_blank"><img src="images/feed.png" width="16" height="16" alt="RSS" /></a></h3>
<ol>
[toptenList]
<li><a href="{toptenUrl}">{toptenTitle}</a> ({toptenVisits})</li>
[/toptenList]
[toptenListError]
<li>{errorMsgTopTen}</li>
[/toptenListError]
</ol>
</div>
</div>

<div class="content">
<div id="latest">
<h3>{writeNewestHeader}&nbsp;<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/phpmyfaqLatest" target="_blank"><img src="images/feed.png" width="16" height="16" alt="RSS" /></a></h3>
<ol>
[latestEntriesList]
<li><a href="{latestEntriesUrl}">{latestEntriesTitle}</a> ({latestEntriesDate})</li>
[/latestEntriesList]
[latestEntriesListError]
<li>{errorMsgLatest}</li>
[/latestEntriesListError]
</ol>
</div>
</div>
