its working now, please let me know where i should send the fixed code …

cool thx, i wait till tomorrow to see, then would email ya

i am aware that i have a strange hosting situation.
they won’t let me use a .htaccess file.
i can do some re-write rules via my hosting control center.

but in WP 1.52 none of the permalink re-writes would work.
so had to opt for the ole /index.php/%post_id%/%postname%/

in my test WP 2.0 install i tested permalinks and saw that now the simplest re-write rule works fine even on my server, the one only using /%postname%/

however after now upgrading to WP 2.0 i had to realise that my old structure, the one that always worked before, /index.php/%post_id%/%postname%/ is no longer working = 404 errors.
can this somehow be a cache issue? because i did notice that at one point i managed to get name date based to work [= /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/, ]and now that one won’t work any longer.

ironically the one that does work [/%postname%/ is also a bit problematic as indicated in the instructions on codex.

i also want to add that i have the /%post_id%/ in there that a few people have said is causing problems for them.

yay

thanx so much podz!!!
just emailed you

hmm. eventhough my modified kevin devin feed validates in feedvalidator.org it does not seem to work in certain feed readers, notably the sage extension for FF. did anyone have similar problems?

hmmmm. something is def. weird. now i got the kevin devin rss hardcode hack to work, to validate as rss i mean, and i saved this under a completely different name. yet when i tried to submit this to itunes i again received the “it appears the feed has already submitted”. i wonder if they just check the 1. part of the url, what if people want to submit various podcasts all hosted in one blog?

so wait, i am a bit thick today. [very hot weather here] you are suggesting i should use neater url to get it to work? or what?

edit: i just went ahead and tried that, yet now iTunes is messing with me. it tells me: “it appears the feed has already submitted. in fact two feeds do show up, but both list mp3’s from all my categories, not from my podcast category alone. hmmm

@jbisjim: care to share the kevin devin rss feed rework you did?

actually, at least for me, it does not get ingnored, but i does not seem to filter things propperly. so if i input /wp-rss2.php?category_name=podcast it will pick everything else from all other categories as well and hence probably decides to pick up /wp-rss2.php

me again. i found a guy called kevin devin’s code @ podcasting yahoo group.
[https://groups.yahoo.com/group/podcasters/message/7540]
he went ahead and changed things by hardcoding around directly in wp-rss2.php.

its looking quite good, for now, but what i would be intersted in is how to call only one category, my podcast category, using wp-rss2.php.
i am thinking of creating an itunes specific rss feed here, named accordingly: wp-rssitunes.php, for the time being.

also: he is using this: <itunes:summary><?php the_content(”, 0,”) ?></itunes:summary> which prints the whole text, html-included. there has to be a better option?

‘ello all
what i have noticed is that iTunes does not seem to pick up a category-specific rss feed.
i sometimes link to mp3’s that i do not wish to be a part of my “podcast”, because they are either too long or somethin g else is not right.
so i use a rss link that only picks up one category, which is the i use for posts with mp3 that i do want to be part of my podcast.

now it appears that iTunes is picking up my general rss alright, but not the exclusion, meaning everything gets podcasted.

so in other words this is what gets piucked up:
https://pieceoplastic.com/wp-rss2.php

but this gets ignored:
https://pieceoplastic.com/wp-rss2.php?category_name=pieceocast

now, as far as how to solve this, i have no idea. anyone?

i would also be extremly interested how to get this to work propperly. for some reason my wp-rss feed does not seem to work. luckily my feedburner link does… but wp-rss would be more specific and more precise.

@ freeoutdoors: if i understand you correctly in order for xmlrpc to work there should be certain xml libs compiled server side? is that correct? because i can’t seem this to work with any of the dashboard widgets and i have played around with switiching poermissions and upgrading to the latest latest version. with no luck. my hosts are running php5.

edit: i receive the following error:

Notice: Undefined variable: HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA in /path/to/my/blog/xmlrpc.php on line 4

i guess i do need some more help here. so basically i need to use php include here, right? and i want to include cg-feedread.php that is inside the wp-content/plugins/cg-plugins, is that correct?
now how do i then add the functions getSomeFeed and such?

thanx so much. i will play around with this some and then maybe get back to you if questions come up…
