Hi,
I'm currently trying to figure out the best way to produce a Google Base
Atom feed (which should not be sent to Google directly but delivered by our
platform).
* My first guess was to use the Zend_Gdata_Gbase component. But as I figured
out, this component is currently meant to read feeds and to send single
entries to Google. I managed to get the feed for a single element by calling
$service->prepareRequest('', null, null, $myGbaseEntry), but I found no
apparent way to assemble a whole feed containing several entries (I don't
want to connect to google directly at all...)
* My second try was to assemble the feed myself by using Zend_Feed with a
builder:
$feed = Zend_Feed::importBuilder($builder, 'atom');
So I wrote a class extending the Zend_Feed_Builder_Interface, but this did
not work either, because the mapping function ignores all custom namespaces,
producing only atom feeds with default attributes
* So I guess I'm up to assemble my feed "low level" by using Zend_Feed
directly, which is also not so easy as I thought, since the only
documentation about producing feeds with this component is
http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.feed.modifying-feed.html
This tells me how to create a new Entry-Object, but not how to append this
to my feed. I'd expect an "append"-method for Zend_Feed_Atom, but it has
only a __set function. And this piece of code here doesn't work at all:
Zend_Feed::registerNamespace('g', 'http://base.google.com/ns/1.0');
$feed = new Zend_Feed_Atom(null, ''); //It needs 'something' for the
constructor
$entry1 = new Zend_Feed_Entry_Atom();
$entry1->title = 'entry1';
$entry1->{'g:id'} = 1;
$entry2 = new Zend_Feed_Entry_Atom();
$entry2->title = 'entry2';
$entry2->{'g:id'} = 2;
$feed->entry = array($entry1, $entry2);
echo($feed->saveXML());
So I guess I'm up to assemble it "really low level" using DOMDocument? (I
noticed that the Gdata component doesn't use Zend_Feed either, but the php
DOM classes instead).
Or am I missing something here?
Thanks,
Alex
