Re: Help needed with writing a plugin for rss2 (a bit long)

I'm working on a more detailed answer, but it'll take a while, so this is the shorter answer.  I think you're making this a little more complicated than necessary.  Most of the questions you ask are concerned with writing a custom renderer, which you don't need to do.  I've implemented rss2 (and atom) using only templates (http://www.eighty-twenty.net/blog?flav=rss).  What you should do is start by copying the templates from renderers/blosxom.py, in the method _getFlavour.  Look for the line where the variable rss is assigned the value of a literal dictionary.  Each key in the dictionary will be the name of a template file in your root_datadir, which you should give the extension "rss2"; e.g. content_type.rss2, head.rss2, story.rss2, foot.rss2.  The corresponding value will be the contents of the file.  Try just creating these files; from there you should be able to figure out how to modify the default RSS (0.91) into 2.0.

Hi all, 
  
I would like to write a plugin for pyblosxom, both as a learning 
experience, 
but also out of a desire to get proper rss2.0 handling in pyblosxom via 
?flav=rss2 or index.rss2. 
  
I've looked through the wiki and looked around in the code of pybloxom, 
but I'm not quite sure how to proceed. This will be a learning 
experience 
for me - I'm aiming to document the process thoroughly perhaps allowing 
my effort to be kind of a plugin writing HOWTO. 
  
I'll try to explain what I want to do and what my questions are 
in the following.
