Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/18068 Project: Drupal Version: 4.5.0 Component: node.module Category: feature requests Priority: normal Assigned to: Anonymous Reported by: elonen Updated by: elonen Status: patch The RSS stream and the front page are two completely different views. For example, they both take different amounts of screen space when viewed by a human and the RSS is often used for programmatic syndication, for which the front page listing may be too short (this is the case in my system). My point is: different purpose => different configuration. elonen Previous comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ February 27, 2005 - 18:32 : elonen Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/rss-date-and-len.diff (3.25 KB) Using modification date in pubDate is suboptimal if you just want to promote new content, not updates. Also, 15 is too small maximum for RSS item count in some cases. This patch against 4.5. adds an option for changing these defaults. (It would be even better if the admin/users could create custom feeds but that'd be a much bigger change.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ February 28, 2005 - 13:42 : Bèr Kessels -1 from me. IMO the amount of feed-items should be the same as the amount of items on the frontpage. So instead of hardcoded fifteen, we should use variable_get('default_nodes_main', 10). That way we do not need another setting, and we have consistancy. Bèr ------------------------------------------------------------------------ February 28, 2005 - 13:43 : Bèr Kessels -1 from me.
