RSS back-end: blogging with Org-mode is now easy

RSS back-end: blogging with Org-mode is now easy

[Bastien]

Hi all,

I added ox-rss.el, a rudimentary RSS 2.0 export back-end:
  http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/plain/contrib/lisp/ox-rss.el?id=137207

See the commentary section for instructions on how to use it.

Basically, the idea is to define a new publishing project that
will take care of publishing a .xml RSS 2.0 feed.

Blog posts are top-level headlines.

One possibility to use this for a blog is to maintain an .org
file with the summary of your headlines in a separate files as
top-level entries, then to export this file as a RSS feed that
you can link anywhere else on your website.

I plan to include this in 8.0 unless it's too buggy or useless.

Please test this heavily and let me know if it works for you!

Thanks,

Hi Bastien,

I'm trying to use ox-rss to generate a rss feed but I'm facing an error :

*let*: Symbol's function definition is void: url-encode-url*
*
*
I use the latest git commit, with Emacs 23.4.1 on Xubuntu 13.04

Here is the file I want to export as RSS Feed.

when I use org-export-rss-as/to-rss I have the same error : *let*: Symbol's

I also tried to use the project alist approach.

(add-to-list
  'org-publish-project-alist
  '("homepage_rss"
    :base-directory "~/website/src/posts/"
    :base-extension "org"

    :html-link-home "http://xxxx.xxxx.free.fr/"
    :rss-extension "xml"
    :publishing-directory "~/website/public_html/"
    :publishing-function (org-rss-publish-to-rss)
    :section-numbers nil
    :exclude ".*"
    :include ("index.org")

    :table-of-contents nil))

-----------8<----------------------------------------


Same error.

Bastien, could you please provide an exampl to illustrate the OX-RSS export
engine?

Thanks

Basile

Mh, yes, `url-encode-url' is not available in Emacs <24.1.

I just mentioned this in the comment section, thanks for reporting
this problem.

Any ideas?

Can you check if you have `url-encode-url'?

C-h f url-encode-url RET 

will tell you.  It is an autoloaded function, so you
don't need to (require 'url-util), but if you can browse
your Emacs sources, it should be in there.

So here we are,

The package provided in (X)ubuntu 13.4 is this one : "GNU Emacs 24.2.1
(i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.6.4) of 2013-04-09 on komainu, modified
by Debian".

I tried "C-h f url-encode-url RET" but wihout the expected results.

I tried to find something with google and I seems that the version of Emacs
must greater than 24.2.1.
I used the PAA for Damien CASSOU, install Emacs 24.3.1. The command
'url-encode-url' was listed in.

I tried both org-rss-export-as/to-rss and it worked. I also tested the
 org-publish-project-alist approach with success.

So my problem comes from the Emacs version. Thanks for your help!
