Is there a way to create RSS feeds of each hosts/users radio shows?

So you could subscribe to a specific user's RSS feed and get all the latest shows which are published.

I am not just talking about following another user, but actual RSS feeds.

There is a module that reads feeds INTO jamroom. I don't think anyones created one that sends RSS out of a profile yet.

It certainly could be done, just hasn't been yet.

Yes - this is already supported "out of the box" with the Feed reader module. It provides a Magic View for all DataStore modules - the format is:

siteurl/feed/<module_url>/<profile_url>

i.e.: https://www.jamroom.net/feed/action/the-jamroom-network

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks!

Excellent, thanks Brian.

You are talking about this Feed Reader right? http://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/networkmarket/72/rss-feed-reader

FYI, couldn't download it for some reason and I am logged in. Just takes me to my profile page when I click the download button.

Yeah that's the one - I just downloaded it here without a problem. Let me check if there is a listener that could be messing it up. You can also install it form your marketplace (recommended) in your JR.

Hope this helps!

I was able to download it while logged in as a "regular" member, so the download should be working.

Thanks!

Yeah - you can customize the RSS feed to suit your needs:

1) as the master, go into ACP -> Listing -> Feed Reader
2) click on the "templates" tab
3) click on "modify" to the right of the "rss.tpl" file.

Update the foreach loop from this:

<item>
    <title>{$item.title}</title>
    <link>{$item.link}</link>
    <description>{$item.description|jrCore_format_string:$item.profile_quota_id|strip_tags}</description>
    <pubDate>{$item.pubdate}</pubDate>
</item>

to something like this:

<item>
    <title>{$item.title}</title>
    <link>{$item.link}</link>
    <description>
    {if $_post.module == 'jrAudio'}
        Listen to this song here: {$jamroom_url}/{$item.profile_url}/{$module_url}/{$item._item_id}/{$item.audio_title_url}
    {else}
        {$item.description|jrCore_format_string:$item.profile_quota_id|strip_tags}
    {/if}
    </description>
    <pubDate>{$item.pubdate}</pubDate>
</item>

Basically we put a small if/else branch in there to check if it is the Audio Module and we output something unique for it. Adjust the custom text to suit your needs.

Hope this helps!

It looks like something is malformed in your xml file.

you can use this online service to check that your XML is valid.
http://validator.w3.org/#validate_by_uri

This is your page:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fpulse.bamradionetwork.com%2Ffeed%2Fradio%2Fgrammar-girl&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0

it shows XML errors.

Looks like you need an end 
<description>
in there.

<item>
    <title>{$item.title}</title>
    <link>{$item.link}</link>
    <description>
    {if $_post.module == 'jrAudio'}
        Listen to this song here: {$jamroom_url}/{$item.profile_url}/{$module_url}/{$item._item_id}/{$item.audio_title_url}
    {else}
        {$item.description|jrCore_format_string:$item.profile_quota_id|strip_tags}
    {/if}</description>
    <pubDate>{$item.pubdate}</pubDate>
</item>

@brian,

Thanks, I got it working.

Sorry to be a pain in the a$$, but what I wanted was to have a link to the mp3 file of that show.

I got that working by using the following path,

{$jamroom_url}/radio/download/audio_file/{$item._item_id}

However, I get the following error when accessing that URL "Error: Offsite media downloads are blocked".

I have set ALLOW_ALL_DOMAINS in the Global config.

Any ideas.

ACP -> Audio Support -> uncheck the "Block Downloads" Global Config option.

Hope this helps!

Looks like the ALLOW_ALL_DOMAINS is only setup for streaming - that's going to need to be added to the download support as well - I'll get that in for the next release.

Hope this helps!
