Better rss feeds without jf namespace prefix

Hi Discussions,
It would be nice if the RSS feeds provided did not use these 'jf' namespace prefixed tags, but rather plain old RSS tags that most RSS readers, inclusive of Safari & Mail currently understand. The feeds contain tags like:
<jf:creationDate>Mon, 31 Mar 2008 14:02:16 -0500</jf:creationDate>
<jf:modificationDate>Mon, 31 Mar 2008 14:02:16 -0500</jf:modificationDate>
<jf:author>J.K. ROFLing</jf:author>
<jf:replyCount>0</jf:replyCount>
it would be better if they were something like:
<pubDate>Mon, 31 Mar 2008 14:02:16 -0500</pubDate>
<author>J.K. ROFLing</author>
or
<dc:creator>J.K. ROFLing</dc:creator>
or if they included such standard tags in addition to the jf: tags. As it is now, an rss reader doesn't know what these tags are and gives each entry the pubDate of the entire feed, and includes no author or subject info.
The feeds could also include the discussion group name as a "category" tag for each entry. that would perhaps be even better when a couple of feeds are grouped together.
As it is today the RSS feeds aren't nearly as compatible with Safari and Mail or other RSS readers as one might reasonably hope/expect. With all the work already sunk into providing the feeds at all, it would be nice to go the last couple of inches and make them (more) useable.
Cheers,
Chris

  • An RSS feed without all the RE:'s???

    I must be the only one that reads cretin boards on here via RSS.
    The problem is, I get hundreds of posts a day because the RSS feed includes EVERY SINGLE MESSAGE that is posted! Why not only when a new topic is posted? I could then go from 200 messages a day, to like 20 if only new threads where put in the RSS and not every single reply to them.
    I tried to filter the RSS feed by automatically deleting anything that starts with "RE:" in the title, but that just messes everything up and I loose a lot of the real new messages.
    I am using Google reader by the way.
    So is there anyway that this can be fixed, or, is there anyone else here that reads these forums via RSS and can share what they have done to fix this problem?
    Thanks!
    Scott

    sdschramm,
    If you click the RSS icon at the bottom of Apple Discussions, it will take you to a list of all the available RSS feeds. There are 4 different feeds for each category, unfortunately the legend/links are confused.
    I assume you attempted to subscribe to an RSS feed for "Threads" which is actually feeding all the messages in that forum/category. Instead, subscribe to the one that according to the legend is for "Messages" . This will actually give you only the topics that are being posted.
    This problem will be sorted in a planned update.

  • HT1819 Can I update podcast RSS feed without deleting current location?

    I have changed where my podcast are hosted so I am trying to figure what I need to do on iTunes. Can the RSS feed be updated or do I have to start a brand new podcast?

    If you don't have access to the old feed to add the redirection tag to it you can't redirect iTunes yourself. Email Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com and ask them to do it for you - give them the Store URL and the URLs of both feeds.

  • Switching podcast RSS feed

    I recently got my podcast approved and put onto the iTunes store. It's currently being hosted on Podomatic, but I've uploaded the exact same content to Soundcloud and been approved for an RSS feed there. My Podomatic RSS feed is currently what's being used on iTunes, but is there any way I can switch over to my Soundcloud RSS feed without resubmitting and recreating the podcast all over again? It seems that Soundcloud would be a better hosting site because it's free, the interface is aesthetically better, and I think it has more storage, whereas with Podomatic I believe I only get 500 mb of storage total, which means I'd have to archive old episodes elsewhere once I get beyond that limit. This is what I get for being impatient I guess. Please let me know if you have any guidance!

    In order to move to a different feed you have to add a special tag to the original feed and leave it in place for a couple of weeks. You may well find you can't do this with Podomatic (who will have no interest in helping you to leave them) in which case you will have to email Support at [email protected] and ask them to move it for you. The full details of all this are here:

  • How to suppress n0: default Namespace prefix in Transformations

    Hi,
    I use Simple Transformations for serialization of deep structured data.
    In the XML File the whole tree needs to use a special namespace. Therefore i use the attribute xmlns="ABC.de" without a namespace prefix in my root element. During serialization SAP generates a default namespace prefix like 'n0:'.
    Is it possible to suppress the generated namespace prefix?
    Thank you very much for reply

    Maybe somebody is interested.
    It seems to be a problem on old 640. On a NW 702 the result is as expected. NW 700 was not tested.
    Workaround for the 640 is to use as result a STRING field not an XSTRING.

  • Authenticated RSS feeds viewer in Sharepoint 2010

    Hi All,
    I need to create an RSS feed viewer in the sharepoint page from an external site (Service Now) in which authentication is needed. I tried adding the OOTB RSS viewer webpart and found out that in our environment they are not allowing authenticated
    RSS feeds. So there is no point of asking for changing the authentication settings also.
    Could some one let me know if there is any workaround to include the authenticated RSS feeds viewer in the sharepoint environment. Please let me know if we can achieve the same through any CEWP?
    Thanks In Advance

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to use RSS feeds in SharePoint 2010.
    Please check as the links below:

  • AS3 RSS FEED XML Namespace

    AS3 - FLASH 10
    Hello,
    I'm having some trouble understanding how can I access a tag in a xml RSS Feed 2 format. Some tags have, what I think to be, namespaces that just ignore my request when accessing such tag. Here is an example:
    // XML LOADED
    <rss>
    <channel>
    <item>
        <title>POST TITLE</title>
        <link>http://domain.org/blog/2009/08/post-name/</link>

    </channel>
    </rss>
    // FLASH CODE
    trace ( xml.channel.item.title ) // Output POST TITLE
    trace ( xml.channel.item.content ) // Output undefined or “”
    … same for wfw and slash tags.
    Any help?
    Regards

    One of the ways is to use regular expressions and replace all the unwanted namespaces with pure tags:
    1. Get the xml data as string:
    var xmlString:String = [write the data here]
    2. Pattern for the tags with namespaces is something like this:
    var exp:RegExp = /<\\|(\w+):(\w+)>/gi;
    3. This is just to demostrate what it outputs: - is not needed in the final code
    var tagsArray:Array = xmlString.match(exp);
    var currentOccurance:Array;
    for (var i:int = 0; i < tagsArray.length; i++) {
         currentOccurance = tagsArray[i].split(":");
         trace("left = " + currentOccurance[0] + "; right = " + currentOccurance[1]);
    It outputs something like this:
    left = content; right = encoded>
    left = content; right = encoded>
    left = wfw; right = commentRss>
    left = wfw; right = commentRss>
    left = slash; right = comments>
    left = slash; right = comments>
    4. Depending on what side you want to use in the final tag:
    a. If left:
    xmlString = xmlString.replace(exp, "$1");
    It will make the following changes:
    From:
    <content:encoded>....</content:encoded>
    <wfw:commentRss>...</wfw:commentRss>
    To:
    <content>....</content>
    <wfw>...</wfw>
    b. if right:
    xmlString = xmlString.replace(exp, "$2>");
    It will make the following changes:
    To
    <encoded>....</encoded>
    <commentRss>...</commentRss>
    The final code is actually 4 lines only (assuming you use complete event):
    var xmlString:String = e.target.data;
    var exp:RegExp = /<\\|(\w+):(\w+)>/gi;
    xmlString = xmlString.replace(exp, "$1");
    var myXML:XML = new XML(xmlString);
    Viola! You can parse xml regular way.

  • Getting your RSS feed to work without .Mac

    OK, so there have been a few people asking about this and I have figured out a way around it. I must warn you it is not a simple solution, but if you are comfortable using Text Edit to modify the code of your pages, it is a piece of cake - but still fairly tedious. If anyone has a quicker solution, please let us know! I would love to come up with an apple script to automate this process, but that takes time...
    The reason Apple says you can only use the RSS subscribe feature by using a .Mac account is because iWeb creates an additional directory that those of us using 3rd party servers don't use. They do this to separate multiple iWeb sites on your .Mac account. When you publish to a file, that extra directory is the parent folder that you extract each page's file from to load to your public_html folder on your server, so you end up not using that iWeb site folder.
    For example, in publishing to .Mac, I will find my Blog rss.xml file on my iDisk under Web/Sites/iWeb/BookEndMedia/Blog/rss.xml, creating the URL of http://web.mac.com/audiogeek/BookEndMedia/Blog/rss.xml. In publishing to my 3rd party server with domain www.bookendmedia.com, that file is found in public_html/Blog/rss.xml, creating the URL of http://www.bookendmedia.com/Blog/rss.xml.
    The problem arises in iWeb's creation of the rss.xml file, blog-main.xml file, and blog-archive.xml file, which are all located in the Blog folder. Each of these files create links to the Entries files and jpegs, and in doing so adds the BookEndMedia directory, which is does not exist in our 3rd party server.
    The way I found to fix this is after publishing and before uploading to open all 3 files mentioned above in Text Edit, hit Command F to find and replace all instances of "/BookEndMedia/" with "/", removing the extra directory from all links.
    There is however one more glitch I found that has nothing to do with the extra directory. These .xml files that iWeb creates look for all jpegs from each entry in the Media folder. iWeb now stores these files in the same folder as the blog entry. Instead of changing each link in the .xml files, I simply copied each jpeg into the Media file.
    After doing all this I now have a functioning RSS feed that any RSS reader can subscribe to and even see the pictures. The only problem is every time I post I have to go through all this again with each .xml file and copying the new entry's jpeg into the Media folder.
    Hopefully Apple will come up with a way for iWeb to distinguish if you are publishing to a folder and write the appropriate code for creating these .xml files. Until then, we will have to do these extra steps to get what we want - or we can come up with an Apple Script to save us some time (anyone?).
    In the mean time I will count my blessings in the fact that thanks to iWeb I only have to modify 3 .xml files and not write code for every single page of my site.
    Hope this helps, and if anyone has any suggestions, please let us know!
    And please feel free to give me feedback on my site.
    Thanks!

    Here is a sample of the beginning of the blog-main.xml file:

  • How can i add an rss feed to mac mail?

    I am trying to unclog my email and cancel many of the news related emails I get each day.   I would like to figure out the best way to still get news sent to me (without having to always remember to check 6-7 websites).  I used to use RSS feeds into my email program (was using outlook).  I cannot figure out how to add an rss feed to show up in mac mail as an email folder on the left hand side of the screen under the mailboxes. 
    Thanks.

    That functionality is not to be found in Apple Mail for Safari. Your best bet is the brilliant free RSS reader Vienna. Works very well, highly recommended.

  • XSL stylesheet transformation of RSS feeds

    Does Safari support XSL transformation of RSS feeds? Or does it always override XSL with its own RSS reader format? Details below:
    I'm starting to mass-produce RSS feeds for our organization. We just want one file for each purpose which can be universally used in RSS readers, iTunes/other podcatchers, and web browsers. I created an XSL stylesheet for it which works perfectly in Internet Explorer, Opera, and Firefox (current release, anyway!), but Safari always adds the "feed://" prefix and displays it with its blue RSS reader format. Is there no way around this? If I take out the the <rss version="2.0"> header, it works, but then iTunes won't accept it.
    Do I have to produce two separate files, the first without the RSS notation for Safari's sake, and the second with the notation for iTunes? That seems like an unnecessary step for us, and confusing for our users. Is there any way around this? I couldn't find any support documents that addressed this directly. Thanks -- Jim

    You're getting a URL like this:context.getResourceAsStream("/Web-Inf/viewStudentDetails.xsl")and it looks like the MalformedURL exception is complaining about it. So my first step would be to look at it and see what's wrong with it.

  • Sync RSS feeds from Mail to iPhone?

    All I want to do is read my RSS articles on my iPhone... as far as I can tell the only way to do it is to completely change how I read RSS articles... and pay for an iPhone app.... Surely OS X using Mail and iPhone OS 3 can achieve this without too much pain? No?
    The best way I've seen so far is to have a new application on my computer and NetNewsWire seems to be the only thing I can find where I can sync the same rss articles on both my computer and phone.
    Please help... or please give me some good news that iPhone os4 will have native support for rss and osx mail. Coz I like Mail's RSS, but it seems a bit pointless now that I can't read them on the move.

    Try this, it is on another post but seems to be a work around, no worries though the iphone has limitations but those limitation come with a better product (in total) thank others.

  • Subscribing to Gallery - RSS feeds

    I have created a number of albums in My Gallery from within iPhoto with the intention of letting the (extensive) family view them without my having to e-mail them etc. This has and is working fine. To save even more time I thought that the option to subscribe to the Galleries would be a good idea. I assumed that if you subscribed to the Gallery then every time I would change or add/delete an album etc from the Gallery this would notify anyone who was subscribed. In order to try it out I simply logged onto My Gallery via the browser (as would anyone else) and "Subscribed". This gave me an RSS feed that I added to my Bookmarks bar in the same way that I have other RSS feeds. The problem I have is that the other feeds show a number next to the title letting me know how many "unread" items I have in that folder. So if the number changes I know I have a new "item". But I don't seem to get the same notification for the RSS feed for My Gallery when I go in and add/delete/change etc a photo from within iPhoto and then re-publish. Hence it doesn't seem to be informing me of any changes..?
    My idea here was for me to try it first before I try my (undoubtedly PC) other users next. But it doesn't seem to work. Is there a trick to this or a series of step I need to follow etc?
    Thanks for anyone who has resolved this or can help

    I was just searching through the forums trying to find an answer to the same question you are asking: how can one subsribe (aka photocast) to a flickr RSS and get a good feed that has large photos and not thumbnails...
    And although I too do not have a direct answer, I do have something you might be interested in... Google!
    Have you ever used Google's Picasa web albums? Well I think you will like it much better than flickr (unless you use flickr for its community where it surely wins, but I just wanted a free and easy way to photocast and I found it)
    1) So first you want an easy way to upload pictures to google, which is essentially creating your photocast. To do this get google's free export feature that is a direct plug in into iphoto and works great:
    http://picasa.google.com/web/mac_tools.html
    2) Next, once you have easily uploaded photos navigate to the album's webpage and view it. Here you can find its RSS feed and copy that feed into any iPhoto as a photocast and bingo you have it with full size pictures rather than what flickr gives you
    Limitations include:
    1) Each album has its own RSS rather than an entire user one, but I like this feature over flickr's method of an entire RSS per user...
    2) I tried using different compressions for uploading a single photo. From here I opened iphoto and tested the subscription feed of the photos. As it turns out, the RSS feed still generates thumbnails becaue they do not reflect the true uploaded images' sizes, BUT the size is much larger and better than that of Flickr's size making it a suitable photocasting method. But not perfect because the RSS feed does not contain the entire image as does .Mac's method...
    Hope this helps,
