I’ll change it to UTF-8 by default. I’m planning to add a function that can change encoding easily, since the original feedcreator does not have that function

Any reason the mbox uses ISO-8859-15 encoding?

Added the enclosure enhancement to the RFE list at sourceforge.

Thanks for checking in the changes to SVN http://feedcreator.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/feedcreator/?sortby=date
I am looking forward to testing this updated version for integration with PhpGedView ( http://phpgedview.sourceforge.net/ ). We use the current version and look forward to the updated version. As far as enclusure support, I think that a utility methods that would calculate the file size on the fly without having to have the user calculate it would make its use easier. I guess if we passed the file path to the class, so both the following lines would be optional:
$item->enclosure->length=”950230″;
$item->enclosure->type=’audio/x-mpeg’

since they could be claculated. We should be able to do most common “types” without user intervension, but the user could easily overide this by manually setting both lines above.

I filed one patch based on a comment above, but it is not a real patch, just a copy from above. Do you want every bug above entered as a bug??

sorry i was busy with my MSc stuff, now that i’m done i can focus on feedcreator patches.

to keep things in order, i think feature request and bug report should be addressed in http://sourceforge.net/projects/feedcreator, specifically the tracker: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=172984

patches should be submitted in patches tracker and you should submit your diff according to the latest stable feedcreator-ppt release (not the original feedcreator)

diff -u feedcreator-1.7.2ppt.php modified.php > file.patch

hopefully we can make this work and release as often as possible (with minimum bugs)

(bumping) I’d like to hear if there are any news too.

Any progress? You should also trim the huge post prior to this one.

were any patches added to SVN? I see that the _setMIME patch mentioned above is not in SVN

Subversion is available, yeah.. using sourceforge’s.Refer to http://feedcreator.org

For the roadmap, I think we should concentrate on improving feedcreator ATOM 1.0 support, the one included only have minimal support for ATOM 1.0 specs.

Since creating ATOM 1.0 feed is rather complex, i think users will appreciate some helper class like feedcreator

Will you be using SourceForge for SVN etc?

By: KosherJava

KosherJava — Tue, 18 Jul 2006 16:05:56 +0000

Nice!
Maybe we can look to Zend_Feed for some ideas

Excellent!

Great news – I’m looking forward to it…

Great, I’m setting up SVN account and feedcreator website.

By: DarTar

DarTar — Tue, 04 Jul 2006 15:42:02 +0000

Or why not contact the author of FeedCreator and ask him if he’s willing to give you the permission to use the same name for this project (which is more an extension than a fork of the original class, right?)?

By: DarTar

My 2 cents.
I find phpFeedGenerator a little longish, it also seems that the name phpFeedCreator is already taken – pity. Maybe we need to make a further creativity effort ;) I think the name should be short, easy to remember and (possibly) suggest that unlike other packages, this is a flexible class that can generate feeds in any of the existing standards.

Looking forward to more updates…

How about phpfeedgenerator? 0 returns for that on Google.

you asked for it folks! :)

I will setup SVN/CVS server and a proper website for the new feedcreator (fork) website, where people can get latest snapshot of feedcreator.

Watch this space :)

p/s: I think we should have a different name to differentiate it with the original feedcreator

The latest update of the original class was released on 2004-11-10 – I bet the author would be more than happy to see someone take over the development of his project.

Why not just set it up as a sourceforge project? It is GPL and I do not think you need to ask anyone.

mypapit — Tue, 27 Jun 2006 00:10:12 +0000

DarTar,

I would, but I’ve to ask permission from the original author first. :)
