Customizing the Atom Feed entry titles?

[cero2k]

I've been trying to figure out the best way to format out the titles of the Atom Feed entries. Regardless of the settings, i always get [Forum Title] • [Topic Title]. I particularly want to remove the Forum Title and possibly add some extra info like author and date after the topic title.

What file should I be looking at in order to make this modifications, I've been looking around in feed.php but haven't figured out anything yet.

thanks in advance.

Bringing this topic back to life because I've got the same question. I've read through FAQ: phpBB ATOM feeds and played with the various ACP->Feed settings.

I've also been searching through the feed.php code. It looks pretty straight forward, but I'm mystified how the row['title'] element in line 220

Code: Select all

echo '<title type="html"><![CDATA[' . $row['title'] . ']]></title>' . "\n\n";

is built.

It seems to happen around line 103

Code: Select all

    $title = (isset($row[$feed->get('title')]) && $row[$feed->get('title')] !== '') ? $row[$feed->get('title')] : ((isset($row[$feed->get('title2')])) ? $row[$feed->get('title2')] : '');

    $published = ($feed->get('published') !== NULL) ? (int) $row[$feed->get('published')] : 0;
    $updated = ($feed->get('updated') !== NULL) ? (int) $row[$feed->get('updated')] : 0;

    $display_attachments = ($auth->acl_get('u_download') && $auth->acl_get('f_download', $row['forum_id']) && isset($row['post_attachment']) && $row['post_attachment']) ? true : false;

    $item_row = array(
        'author'        => ($feed->get('creator') !== NULL) ? $row[$feed->get('creator')] : '',
        'published'     => ($published > 0) ? $phpbb_feed_helper->format_date($published) : '',
        'updated'       => ($updated > 0) ? $phpbb_feed_helper->format_date($updated) : '',
        'link'          => '',
        'title'         => censor_text($title),
        'category'      => ($config['feed_item_statistics'] && !empty($row['forum_id'])) ? $board_url . '/viewforum.' . $phpEx . '?f=' . $row['forum_id'] : '',
        'category_name' => ($config['feed_item_statistics'] && isset($row['forum_name'])) ? $row['forum_name'] : '',
        'description'   => censor_text($phpbb_feed_helper->generate_content($row[$feed->get('text')], $row[$feed->get('bbcode_uid')], $row[$feed->get('bitfield')], $options, $row['forum_id'], ($display_attachments ? $feed->get_attachments($row['post_id']) : array()))),
        'statistics'    => '',
    );

    // Adjust items, fill link, etc.
    $feed->adjust_item($item_row, $row);

    $item_vars[] = $item_row;

Does anyone know how the forum name is prefixed to the topic title? and more importantly how it could be removed?

[Volksdevil]

Also interested in this. That damn • annoys me!

[P_I]

Found it. It gets done in the adjust_item() method. The implementations are found in the phpbb/feeds/*.php files.

Regardless of the settings, i always get [Forum Title] • [Topic Title]. I particularly want to remove the Forum Title

My solution to make feed.php?mode=topics_active look more like search.php?search_id=active_topics was to make the following changes:

• in phpbb/feed/topics_active.php suppress displaying the forum name in the Atom:title element

  Code: Select all

  129c129
  <               $item_row['title'] = (isset($row['forum_name']) && $row['forum_name'] !== '') ? $row['forum_name'] . ' ' . $this->separator . ' ' . $item_row['title'] : $item_row['title'];
  ---
  > //            $item_row['title'] = (isset($row['forum_name']) && $row['forum_name'] !== '') ? $row['forum_name'] . ' ' . $this->separator . ' ' . $item_row['title'] : $item_row['title'];
  

• in phpbb/feed/base.php change the statistics separator

  Code: Select all

  <       var $separator_stats = "\xE2\x80\x94"; // &mdash;
  ---
  >       var $separator_stats = "&raquo"; // match search.php?search_id=active_topics;

• in phpbb/feed/topic_base.php display forum name link, remove replies and views counts

  Code: Select all

  50,51c50,52
  <                               . ' ' . $this->separator_stats . ' ' . $this->user->lang['REPLIES'] . ' ' . ($this->content_visibility->get_count('topic_posts', $row, $row['forum_id']) - 1)
  <                               . ' ' . $this->separator_stats . ' ' . $this->user->lang['VIEWS'] . ' ' . $row['topic_views'];
  ---
  >                 . ' ' . $this->separator_stats . ' ' . $this->user->lang['POSTED_IN_FORUM'] . ' ' . '<a href="' . $this->helper->append_sid('viewforum.' . $this->phpEx, 'f=' . $row['forum_id']) . '">' . $row['forum_name'] . '</a>';
  > //                            . ' ' . $this->separator_stats . ' ' . $this->user->lang['REPLIES'] . ' ' . ($this->content_visibility->get_count('topic_posts', $row, $row['forum_id']) - 1)
  > //                            . ' ' . $this->separator_stats . ' ' . $this->user->lang['VIEWS'] . ' ' . $row['topic_views'];
  

If you just want to change the &bull character between forum title and topic title per the following query:

Then look in phpbb/feed/base.php for

Code: Select all

    /**
    * Separator for title elements to separate items (for example forum / topic)
    */
    var $separator = "\xE2\x80\xA2"; // •

I am having some difficulty to follow your code changes for phpbb/feed/topic_base.php, which is a diff file output. There are 3 locations affected, but I can't find the exact code locations using a "Find" in my text editor.

Could you please revise your post to use a step-by-step instruction similar to the phpBB instructions for source code modifications?

I believe you are missing a trailing semicolon ';' from your suggested replacement separator character. for &raquo. The representation should instead be as ». (Ref: Character entity references in HTML 4)

Instead, may I suggest to use the same separator character used in the prosilver navbar header, '‹', coded as ‹ or ‹? The style would be consistent with prosilver.

In phpbb/feed/base.php find:

Code: Select all

var $separator = "\xE2\x80\xA2"; // •

Replace with:

Code: Select all

var $separator = "‹"; // ‹

I am having some difficulty to follow your code changes

Fair enough. I've been trying out various changes/concepts so I'll give you my current version, which is slightly different than the previously posted change. In phpbb/feed/topic_base.php, on line 48 find:

Code: Select all

            $item_row['statistics'] = $this->user->lang['POSTED'] . ' ' . $this->user->lang['POST_BY_AUTHOR'] . ' ' . $this->user_viewprofile($row)
                . ' ' . $this->separator_stats . ' ' . $this->user->format_date($row[$this->get('published')])

add:

Code: Select all

                . ' ' . $this->separator_stats . ' ' . $this->user->lang['POSTED_IN_FORUM'] . ' ' . '<a href="' . $this->helper->append_sid('viewforum.' . $this->phpEx, 'f=' . $row['forum_id']) . '">' . $row['forum_name'] . '</a>'

If you want to remove the Replies and Views items so that it looks more like View active topics, then comment out the following two lines.

I believe you are missing a trailing semicolon ';' from your suggested replacement separator character. for &raquo.

Thanks. Although IE renders it properly without so I didn't notice the missing trailing semicolon.

My goal was consistency with the format of search.php?search_id=active_topics

Bug report filed as an improvement request, [PHPBB3-14899] Feeds output should be consistent with View active topic fields and ordering.

it`s possibole add css?

[P_I]

Not sure I understand the question. Add CSS to what? The feed is governed by RFC 4287 - The Atom Syndication Format.

i want to add css here
