RSS feeds for releases?
Hi,
Have you ever considered adding RSS feeds for releases etc?
This would make it a lot easiert to find out about new releases with an RSS reader. Also we could use the 'padua' release feed in order to display releases on our website.
Would make things easier because there would only be one central location - CSDb.

There was actually a semi-completed hidden feature in that feed. I guess I started on it at some point, and forgot about it again. :)
I finished it quickly, and added the info here:

Would it be possible to modify the comments feed to contain the handle of the scener making the comment in the title?
As it is, every item in the feed has the same title, "Review for [Release]". Something like "Comment by [Handle]" would be more useful, I think. |

That wasn't a part of the very quick fix - but I guess it's possible. ;)
As said, most of the code was already there, so I didn't actually look much into it.
I'll see if I can find a bit more time, and look into it.
I agree that the same title for all entries is a bit silly, but I guess the proper place for who wrote the comment is in the author tag!?
well.. |

I agree that the handle belongs in the author field, but given that comments do not have their own associated title, only a body text, it would be appropriate to include the handle in the item title as well. It is the only piece of information I can think of that would be useful for looking up a specific comment in a list of many.
Maybe it would also be useful to include the first line of the comment text itself after the handle, for example:
"[Handle]: [First line of comment text]"
The name of the release itself is already part of the RSS channel title, so it's redundant to include it in the item title as well.
