Re: Linking to RSS feeds?

Something like this should work just fine:

$html-meta('rss', '/articles.rss', array('title' = 'Latest Articles
Feed'));

 Firefox has a nice feature where if the author of a site adds the
 appropriate linking to the head of their documents, they get a nice rss icon
 and link to the rss feed in the right side of the address bar. The syntax
 for this is as follows:

 link rel='alternate' type='application/rss+xml' title='insert title here'
 href='link to rss feed' /

 Currently, the HTML helper does not include functionality to do add this to
 a cake application, or layout. Does anyone know if there are any plans to do
 so?

 documentation still, and wanted to know if there was more to the code than I
 was reading into it after looking through the html.php file source.

I understand, but I try to think about this stuff pragmatically.  One
line of code in CakePHP or one line of code in HTML.  It really makes
little difference, but putting it in HTML means just a little bit less
work for PHP.

Well, I think including something that is browser-specific is not a
good idea.  Not everyone uses Firefox.  Secondly, what's so hard about
adding it by hand to your layout file?  It's just one line.

Actually, it's not FF specific. The auto-discovery is a feature that
has found its way into many other browsers.

And really, what's so hard about adding one line of CSS to your layout
file? or one line of JS to your layout file? CakePHP is there to help
you!

Anyways, the answer is:

$html-meta('rss', '/controllername/actionname.rss');

I haven't looked at it too closely so that syntax may be slightly off.

Actually, that is the exact right syntax, just one minor difference.
$html-meta('title of feed', '/controller/action.rss');

Thanks for the help Johnathon!

on a side note: @Chris, the reason why I wanted to see if there was a way to
do it through cake, is two fold: 1) it's a fair bit less text to put into

This is what I am using

// Create RSS for comments on this photo

$rss_url =
FULL_BASE_URL.$html-url(array('controller'='comments','action'='index',$photo['Photo']['slug']..rss));

$html-meta('rss',$rss_url, array('title'=
$session-read('cheeseCake.siteName').- RSS Feed for comments on this
photo),false);


AFAIR I had to add the FULL_BASE_URL because the address bar RSS subscribe
button was not working or some such thing.

Cheers
Tarique
