Hi All

Just a quick question. After many trials, lots of errors and great
support from you guys (especially BidXTW) I have a TW working as I
want...well almost. I am relying heavily on UploadTiddler to quicken
the uploading of small posts by students. And I have just realised
that UploadTiddler does not generate/update the modification to the
RSS feed - I have GenerateRSSbyTag installed.

I can live without the RSS being updated, as I prefer the quick
uploading capability of UploadTiddler...and is it possible for
UploadTiddler (Plugin and Macro) to update the RSSfile....or am i now
asking TOOO much!

Hi Skye,

Sorry for the delay.

storeTiddler.php was not able to update the rss file, for different reasons :
  • As you have GenerateRSSbyTag installed, the rss file must be updated only on fixed tag.
  • storeTiddler.php doesnot pare the content of a tiddler, it only take the whole DIV in storeArea format and insert or replace it in the html file. So it doesn't analyze tags
  • The item content of a rss file is different than a tiddler text in storeArea format.
  • storeTiddler.php doesn't manage XML syntax
  • The xml file needs to be regenerated to keep only the latest tiddlers 
It is really an other service. 

What I can suggest is to generate locally your RSS file and use an UploadForm like in http://tiddlywiki.bidix.info/#UploadForm and use store.php. The RSS File should be small enough not to take too long.

Hope this helps,
