I’ve added a bit more recently to Rollator’s RSS backend.

Due to both request, and my tiring of seemingly arbitrary size lengths, I’ve enabled the user to submit exactly how much they wish to see. The RSS feeds now take three variables; num, length, and fullarticle.

If you query with http://www.holwegner.com/rss.php?fullarticle, you will be presented with the entire article for the last 10 entries.

http://www.holwegner.com/rss.php?length=250&num=5 will query for the last 5 articles, with a max length of 250 characters per article.

It is possible to mix and match them at will, but query of fullarticle superceeds any length specified for ‘break’, so that number, if given, will be ignored.

Once I get the ‘entry format’ moved into the database, I’ll rewrite the module so you can query the specific types seperately; currently there are ‘diary’, which is obvious, ‘news’, which is the ront page; ‘page’, which I use to create seperate entities such as the faq, and my music page, and finally ‘static’, which is a special type that stays at the top of the front page (my image picture). This will be user-configurable, of course, and everything will be entirely modularized.

I hope to have the majority of Rollator rewritten in an OOP style. I’m slowly dredging through my old code, cleaning up a few misconceptions I’ve had, and sinching up the belt to make it as lean as possible.
