[drupal-devel] RSS indicater?
Apparently in the Tiger release of Mac OS, Safari somehow automatically indicates if a web site has an RSS feed. I don't have access to this version of Safari (stuck on Win2k :-( ) so this information is second hand. Anyway, the point is, my Drupal-based sites which do provide RSS feeds do not trigger this indicator. If there is some sort of widespread or semi-standard way for RSS auto-discovery, is that something we should add support for in Drupal? It seems like it would be useful. Some of my users did not know my site had RSS because their browser was not telling them it did. When I told them directly, they were pleased to take advantage of it. -- Chris Johnson
Drupal is very inconsistent in this. but it does this with the standard RSS header. So, it already is implemented, only not consistent. Not all themes use this, not all possible feeds get a header and thus you will not always see the RSS icons in mac/FF/KDE or wherever. Op dinsdag 07 juni 2005 18:10, schreef Chris Johnson:

Drupal already works fine with Safari RSS, all the stuff was in there way before Safari RSS was released. http://developer.apple.com/internet/safari/faq.html#anchor22 Goba
Firefox has this auto-detect as well. It looks like a small orange radio signal in the bottom right corner. Robin On 6/7/05, Gabor Hojtsy <gabor@hojtsy.hu> wrote:

Yes, my web site works just fine with Firefox on my Windows machine. It was the Tiger version of Safari that was reported to not work, and I was wondering if it used a different method that we should also support. Sorry I was not clear on that point. According to Goba's post, it *should* work as is. Strange. I'll have to hunt down a Tiger machine some place to test and debug. Safari 1.3 apparently does not have this feature at all. Hmmm. Maybe I can get the new Safari someplace. Thanks. -- Chris Johnson

Works perfect with drupal.org. -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/

Is the LINK header stuff already in core? I knew it wasn't in 4.5, so I added to my theme. That's what Opera uses for its RSS indicator and probably the same thing used by Firefox. -- Tim Altman

It was in 4.6 using drupal_set_html_head(), and in head it is done via drupal_add_link(), which in turn calls drupal_set_html_head(). So if your theme gets and outputs drupal_get_html_head(), then it should be OK. Goba
