Blog name: Cocomore Drupal Blog
Drupal-Planet tagged feed URL: feed://drupal.cocomore.com/blog/planet_drupal/feed

Dear Webmasters,

Our Drupal blog hasn't been around long, but we are determined to keep it going and get better at it, while we do. I think some of our posts could be quite useful to people starting out and we should also be getting more advanced articles, too. Only English posts will be included in the Planet Drupal feed (though we do also have German blog content) and we will only include "the cream of the crop", probably no more often than one post (suitable for inclusion here) per week, likely less sometimes, but we will be posting regularly.

Thank you for your consideration,

Lowell Montgomery (LoMo)

I don't know if anyone has looked at the feed yet, but we've resolved an issue which was mucking up feeds (no pubDate, etc), so now the Planet Drupal feed should work.

Any update?

Any update on this? We'd love to have more readers and share discussion with a larger community. Despite some spam issues, we are keeping "anonymous" commenting open and would enjoy discussion, corrections, and general community input.

I just looked through the articles in the feed, and they really look above the cut of most of Planet Drupal, so RTBC.

@LoMo, you probably should have had this in there as "Needs Review", but it does seem like somebody should have stumbled upon it.

According to the feed xml, the url for this is http://drupal.cocomore.com/blog/en/feed but we need a "drupal planet" specific tag. Can you clarify whether this is an alias for the main blog feed or if there is really a drupal_planet tag involved?

I agree the content looks good.

Hi Greg,

The URL you posted is for the general blog (not just the "cream of the crop" selected for Planet Drupal inclusion).

The Planet Drupal feed is feed://drupal.cocomore.com/blog/planet_drupal/feed -- it leaves out many of our posts. The site does not currently use a taxonomy term for Planet Drupal, per se, but the posts are filtered with a boolean variable (checkbox) I added to the Blog content type creation form -- if this is acceptable, it's what I prefer since the help text provides guidelines and an explanation to only check the box for stories which the greater Drupal community might find of interest. If we really do need to use a tag for "Planet Drupal", I can add one and we could use that instead, but I prefer the current system since it keeps the selector, which is not really a "category" (nothing to do with a "topic"), separate from the regular blog tags.

Please let me know if there is anything more I can do to improve that and/or if you think I should "raise the bar" on what's included for Planet Drupal.

Thank you, both, Randy and Greg, for your "+1s". I appreciate your time and consideration. :-)

Cheers,

Lowell

Follow up: Thanks, Greg, for pointing out that our Planet Drupal-specific feed included the general English feed URL in the XML. I've corrected that and hope that now the XML is what it should be. :-)

Looks like based on @greggles comments this should be ok now, right?

This gets a final +1 from me. LoMo thanks for the explanation on how posts are selected as long as you continue to use discretion and standards with the posts.

I've added the blog "Cocomore" with URL http://drupal.cocomore.com/blog/planet_drupal/feed
http://drupal.org/aggregator/sources/838

Welcome to the Planet!

I've suspended the feed as it no longer validates and because of that couldn't be updated by aggregator module.

I've also contacted LoMo.

In http://drupal.org/planet, the listing on the right column links to our feed, instead of the homepage (what I would expect).

How could that be fixed?
Thanks for your time.

I think if you review the list they all link to the feed instead of the homepage.

This is just core aggregator and a block provided by https://drupal.org/project/drupalorg

You could review the code in https://drupal.org/project/drupalorg and propose a patch to make it point to the homepage (or maybe both homepage and the feed?) but I personally think the link should be to the feed.

Sorry, I re-read my post and it wasn't clear.

If I look at your feed, I see that your name links to the term listing, and the feed links to the feed:
<li><a href="http://www.knaddison.com/taxonomy/term/89/0">Greg Knaddison</a> (<a href="http://www.knaddison.com/category/drupal-planet/feed">feed</a>)</li>

In Cocomore case, both links are to the feed, and the first shouldn't. Hope this is clearer know.

Ah, got it. I think the problem is in the link element in your feed.

http://drupal.cocomore.com/blog/planet_drupal/feed:

    <link>http://drupal.cocomore.com/blog/planet_drupal/feed</link>

The feed from Cocomore seems to be broken, due to an error "Attribute without value" on line 307. Also the feed validates no longer because Validator is not sure it a feed after all. :)
Also the content on the Cocomore "Planet Drupal" page is different from what the source page holds. Something is awry.

The old link is not valid anymore.

Here ist the new feed:

Feed does not validate.

Hi David,

this is the standard drupal feed build with views.

dddave’s picture

dddave CreditAttribution: dddave commented

Views not necessarily creates valid feeds for numerous reasons (example from the Planet: https://www.datasmith.net/node/16). Are you perhaps using a custom date format in your feed?

mtunay CreditAttribution: mtunay commented

Hi,

create now one custom "r" format for the rss output.
Now its working Check here
