I've read a few complaints in the Radio discussion group about
several issues in the creation of RSS files, notably for RSS
publishing in categories.

Here are a number of fixes I've been using for some time, all polished
and documented for the occasion.

The first patch replaces radio.weblog.writeRssFile with
a copy that corrects a bug preventing shortcuts to be expanded
properly in item descriptions [1].

It adds 2 bundles inside the items publishing loop, the first adds the
missing adrpost and glossary entries to the page table, then sets the
official pageTableAddress, the second resets the pageTableAddress when
finished processing macros.

The second patch is an update to radio.weblog.publishCategoryRss to
add more options to the formatting of the RSS title of a category
feed, instead of forcing authorName: adrcat^.displayName [2].

The new code creates the title as adrcat^.displayName by default. It
then checks 2 new category dependent prefs,
adrcat^.flAddAuthorNameToRssTitle and adrcat^.flAddBlogTitleToRssTitle
to prefix the title with either the author name or the site name.

These 2 new prefs can be set in the category modification desktop
website page, as created by the updated radio.weblog.editCategory [3].

The updated editCategory code needs access to a new entry in the
English localisation table, defined in editRssTitle [4].

These patches have been working on my Radio installations for quite
some time without a glitch. I hope the Userland crew will include them
in the main distribution of Radio, after thoroughly reviewing them and
modifying them if need be.

Cheers

Marc
