Re: [RSS-DEV] Radio UserLand RSS idiosyncrasies

Hi Chris -- I noted your post at 9PM on Friday night -- most of our guys
aren't working at that time..

You can modify the contents of <title> and <copyright>, but it's a bit of
work, and might not be worth it. There's a callback in
radio.weblog.writeRssFile, the script that generates RSS files in Radio,
that allows you to override our method. You can copy and paste our script
into the user.radio.callbacks.writeRssFile table, and your copy will do the
RSS serialization, not ours. Change the title and copyright in the copy to
whatever you like.

I'll look into the bit about Post vs Post and Publish, and report back on
the Radio DG.

BTW, Bill Kearney gave you some very bad advice. Don't modify
UserLand-supplied code if you can possibly avoid it, when we update the
script, you'll lose your mods. This is one of the most frequently updated
scripts. The callback mechanism explained above, which Bill knows about (his
script uses it) allows you to put your code in an update-safe place. Please
do it that way, you'll avoid much pain. Thanks.

Dave
