I am a plone newbie and I'm trying to set up a site-wide RSS feed of all my site's content in Plone 4.0.7
I have followed the instructions here:
http://plone.org/documentation/manual/plone-community-developer-documentation/functionality/rss
I've partially succeeded - I created the content collection, and the RSS feed is working:
http://nitric.co.za/site-feed/RSS
The problem is <link type="alternate"... /> is not appearing on every page of the site.
The instructions suggest that in ZMI -> portal_actions -> site_actions there should be a record for RSS. There was no such record in my installation. However under portal_actions -> document_actions there was so I cut and paste it into site_actions however this had no effect.
What is the best way to get the RSS link tag to appear in the html header of every page on my site?
site_actions are the links at the bottom of your page (eg Site Map, Accessibility, Contact)
those won't help you in getting elements to your header.
to have all your feeds available on all pages throughout your portal you need to create a custom theme package and either
register a custom viewlet or
customize the main_template
i quickly checked the collective repository (http://dev.plone.org/collective/browser) for packages named rss and found http://pypi.python.org/pypi/collective.siterss which pretty much sounds like it will solve your problem.

I just wondering whether http://www.shoutmeloud.com/videos is a subdomain under subdirectory?
I am just curious to know how we can do that.
I have a website called http://quantumbuddy.com/ and I want to share spirtual video the same way here shoutmeloud did.
Can anyone let me know how they did?
The website Shoutmeloud is a very popular website of a very popular Indian blogger Harsh Agarwal. The website is WordPress built as told by him many times. Regarding your question - the http://www.shoutmeloud.com/videos is not a directory because if it had been a WordPress directly there would be a login url - http://www.shoutmeloud.com/videos/wp-login.php, but it is not there.
Seeing the design of http://www.shoutmeloud.com/videos i think it is a post category (videos) which shows the post contained in it(here videos).
In wordpress this comes by default, all you have to do is to create a post category and add post in it. Then in these post add youtube videos embed code.
You can easily achieve that by going to your wordpress dashboard then add a new page and name it like videos then insert some video files there whether it's a link or from your uploaded videos then save it.
To check the page, Add it to your main menu for example then save it.
The url would be like http://quantumbuddy.com/videos.
so basically the videos is the name of the page.
I checked your site and it only contain one link in the menu. Add a page and add it to your menu bar and it would display next to the Blog link.
The website you are referring to is using Genesis Theme. You can find it here

I'm optimizing site on Drupal. This is my first experience with this CMS, so I'm a total noob with it.
Problem is how to edit meta tags (title and meta description) on pages with generated content (e.g. news)?
On regular pages I've used Meta Tags module and it works just fine. But I cannot access pages that generate content like news, events etc., these pages are not listed in the Content section.
Is there a relatively simple way (via UI) to edit meta tags for these kind of pages?
Current Drupal version is 7.38
Hopefully I've provided enough information for this issue and described in a clear understandable way.
Those "generated pages" are view pages. Try finding some module that adds meta tags to view pages, i.e.:
https://www.drupal.org/project/metatags_quick
or maybe
https://www.drupal.org/project/metatag_views_overview
Trying to figure out if there is a way to take a snippet of a wordpress blog, same site, same hosting, and plug that into a pure HTML page.
Example... I want to show the title of the blog, and first 150 characters. With a link to ..."read more" which would take the visitor to the actual blog.
Widget? or custom type of coding?
One way that WordPress exposes blog output to other applications is through the RSS feed.
It is often available by URL at
"http:// your-Wordpress-Root-URL.com/ feed".
You can use that URL in a 3rd-party widget that you use via HTML/JS on any HTML page.
They'll give you the code snippet to drop in your page.
And they'll have different options to customize things like the number of blog entries to show, and the length to preview - as you mentioned.
I'll paste a couple links to start with, and you can easily search for more online with something like "RSS feed widget" in google.

I am using Dotnetnuke( version 6). I want to add sitemap(which only shows the hyperlinks of pages) on my website. I have gone through number of free sitemap modules on the internet Like
http://www.derektrauger.com/Products/DotNetNukeModules/DNNSiteMapModule.aspx
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/12645/DotNetNuke-SiteMap
all of them works fine and shows the link on first level but they does not show the page link of hidden pages and pages within pages. I have given full permission and sitemap link(steMap.aspx) also show hidden page.
how can i resolve this issue?
Is there any other free sitemap module which can resolve this issue?
Regards and Thnakx
How come you are not using the core sitemap?
e.g. www.yourdomain.com/sitemap.aspx
It should print out all pages in your site.
Mine currently prints out all pages http://www.ventrian.com/sitemap.aspx, even ones that hidden by "show in menu" set to false http://www.ventrian.com/Home/WhereAreThey.aspx

Just to update this thread, I actually use this for sitemaps now:
http://searchenginesitemaps.codeplex.com/
It is an open source sitemap for DotNetNuke. http://www.ventrian.com/SearchEngineSitemap.aspx
It allows for module developers to write their own providers to include their specific date in the sitemap (e.g. galleries, articles, etc).
I created a blog using wordpress in January.
Though, I use a custom template for one of my page to display custom dynamic pages. (exemple here)
Now, I use the wordpress plugin XML-Sitemap to automatically generate sitemaps.
Unsurprisingly, this plugin does not crawl the page using a custom template, and the many links within.
However, I thought that the crawlers of the major search engines would do so. But they didn’t. My custom pages are still not indexed anywhere.
So here is my question:
I have found a tool that can comprehensively crawl my website and generate a sitemap. If I use it, do I have to de-activate my wordpress pluging?
Thanks a lot!!
first of all, i'm not experienced in Word Press, but I came out with two ideas about your problem, so, if they could be useful, here are:
1) I don't think the plugin crawls the template. Instead I think the plugin generates the sitemap starting from the sitemap saved in the wordpress configuration (in drupal the sitemap and url aliases are saved in the database for example, and the sitemap plugin starts from there)
2) If your plugin generates a sitemap file (I think it does!), so you have to disable it first of use an other tool
Hope it helps!
