Generate Multiple RSS Feeds

[Stobot]

Hi All, didn't know whether to continue onto a multi-year old thread
or not, but looking for something like a few others before me...
Hoping to generate more than one RSS Feeds - by tag.

To illustrate using an example, if I had a TW about Cats & Dogs, I
would love to have one generate for tiddlers tagged with Cats, and one
for Dogs so people could subscribe to them separately. My application
is actually in a business setting regarding different departments, but
same concept.

Looking through past inquiries, the thing that sounds most promising
is:
"Take a look at: http://tw.lewcid.org/sandbox/ Look up MultiRSSPlugin.
I believe that it does what you are looking for. "

But the site seems to have been down for some time and the "backups"
that I've found don't have that one because it was still too new/
experimental

The only other thing I've found is Eric's Export Plugin which is
excellent and I'm already using, but hoping for a more automated
solution as there will be other "authors" for the file.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance

(as an aside, I just read something about submitting through email
instead of this way - should I be doing that in the future?)

http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#SaveAsPlugin

supports the exact same output formats as ExportTiddlerPlugin. You can
use it to generate XML output of selected tiddlers (by tag value),
with just a single click!

This definitely gets me one step closer (allowing to export by tag and
put in a button so it's only one click per tag).

Still hoping to find something that's more automated
- Best case would be something more like 6-12 different tags/feeds to
output to.
- None of the other 10 or so contributors has even heard of TW, and so
everybody remembering to manually build the RSSs after each edit seems
doomed for at least partial failure

If there's nothing else out there specifically to tie into replacing
the RSS generation that happens automatically with save, am I right
about how I would implement this:
Feed1:
<<saveAs "label:BuildCatsRSS" "filename:Cats.xml" "type:NewsFeed"
quiet merge CatsRSS>>
And then repeat buttons for all the other feeds I'd want to build?

It would be cool if there was a BeforeSave event I could dump all the
macros in (similar to how systemConfig essentially works as an open
event)

hi,

and this...
GenerateRssByTagPlugin
http://tiddlywiki.bidix.info/#GenerateRssByTagPlugin

hope this helps,

Thanks for the reply Josep, but although the name sounds promising,
the description reads:
"Only tiddlers with a specific tag are inluded in the RSSFeed. If no
tiddlers are selected then works as before"

If there's a way to configure it for multiple tags/feeds that I'm not
aware of - please let me know.

@Eric, also I'm noticing that with the SaveAs doesn't seem to want to
do quiet mode even when specified... For example of one of the
Generate buttons (trying a button for each feed I want to maintain)
<<saveAs "label:20K_GMDuties_RSS" "filename:20K_GMDuties.xml"
"type:NewsFeed" quiet merge [[Keys: General Manager Duties]]>>
when executed brings up a "Please select a target path/filename
dialog" (Firefox) or "Open" (Internet Explorer)

I'm assuming then that nobody else has a saved version of the
MultiRSSPlugin from before Lewcid went down eh?

Thanks for everybody's time on this, I really appreciate it!

I've pulled a version of the MultiRssPlugin of the internet cache and brushed it off a little:

* Tags are queried transitively (for hierarchical tags) - this doesn't detect cycles - will fix

* Multiple tags can be included or excluded from a feed

* Tiddler fields are exported in the feed

I've put a copy on dropbox here:

I'll try and put some usage examples up.

At first glance, this looks awesome. I'll start playing with it. Have
to admit I'm not that advanced, so it may take me a bit to figure out
how to use it, but from what I'm seeing it's exactly what I need.
Thanks!
