RSS Feed & Backend.php Linking and Auto-Detection

I am using Mozilla Firefox (browser) with the Sage extension (feed agregator) which has a cool little function that will parse through a page and look for the RSS feed. I found that it doesn't work with XOOPS sites or at least not on mine and XOOPS.org.

I'm not sure if what I am suggesting is proper XHTML but this hack works for the feed auto detection now. I just added the line below to the head theme.html but it should probably be more part of the core than a theme level hack.

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS2" href="<{$xoops_url}>/backend.php" />

Re: RSS Feed & Backend.php Linking and Auto-Detection

I'm not familiar with the sage extension, but in Firefox 1.0PR the RSS link shows up for me in the bottom right on xoops.org using the following tag:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/xml" title="RSS" href="https://xoops.org/backend.php" />

Hmm... you're right. Not sure why it doesn't work in the Sage implementation. I think Sage looks through the source for a file like *.xml or *.rdf but it gets tripped up because XOOPS uses backend.php. From personal experience I don't think linking to a PHP script is as common as linking to an XML file.

well perhaps it is the type attribute that is 'gumming up the works', maybe it expects the feeds to be served as application/rss+xml
