Atom rxml template

sco (Scott Raymond) — Sat, 06 Aug 2005 02:53:28 GMT

This rxml template (modified from the one in blinksale.com) generates valid Atom 1.0 feeds. If you have a partial to create HTML for each item, they can be included in the feed's "content" elements.



xml.instruct!



xml.feed "xmlns" => "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" do



  xml.title   "Feed Name"

  xml.link    "rel" => "self", "href" => url_for(:only_path => false, :controller => 'feeds', :action => 'atom')

  xml.link    "rel" => "alternate", "href" => url_for(:only_path => false, :controller => 'posts')

  xml.id      url_for(:only_path => false, :controller => 'posts')

  xml.updated @posts.first.updated_at.strftime "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ" if @posts.any?

  xml.author  { xml.name "Author Name" }



  @posts.each do |post|

    xml.entry do

      xml.title   post.title

      xml.link    "rel" => "alternate", "href" => url_for(:only_path => false, :controller => 'posts', :action => 'show', :id => post.id)

      xml.id      url_for(:only_path => false, :controller => 'posts', :action => 'show', :id => post.id)

      xml.updated post.updated_at.strftime "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ"

      xml.author  { xml.name post.author.name }

      xml.summary "Post summary"

      xml.content "type" => "html" do

        xml.text! render(:partial => "posts/post", :post => post)

      end

    end

  end



end

RSS2 rxml template

Some of the rxml RSS 2 templates posted here will work, but have small validation problems. As far as I can tell, this one passes validation every time, given an instance variable @posts, with the appropriate methods. From the source of blinksale.com:



xml.instruct!



xml.rss "version" => "2.0", "xmlns:dc" => "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" do

  xml.channel do



    xml.title       "Feed Name"

    xml.link        url_for :only_path => false, :controller => 'posts'

    xml.pubDate     CGI.rfc1123_date @posts.first.updated_at if @posts.any?

    xml.description "Feed Description"



    @posts.each do |posts|

      xml.item do

        xml.title       post.name

        xml.link        url_for :only_path => false, :controller => 'posts', :action => 'show', :id => post.id

        xml.description post.body

        xml.pubDate     CGI.rfc1123_date post.updated_at

        xml.guid        url_for :only_path => false, :controller => 'posts', :action => 'show', :id => post.id

        xml.author      "#{post.author.email} (#{post.author.name})"

      end

    end



  end

end
