Hi all,
While gathering information on the simplify my wiki subject, I stumbled upon
the RSS makro and tried it out, works great.
But is there a way to have the RSS Links that the RSS Makro displays open in
a new window?
I know there are discussions on the sensibility of opening links in a new
window, but in this project I will have to do so.
I tried putting rel="blank" in somewhere, but nothing worked.
I tried putting a java class objekt in, but I guess since the rss feed is in
a makro, this did not work either.
Is it possible, and if yes, how?
Thanx in advance,
Wouter

Right now this feature is not part of the RSS macro. It could be interesting to add it
though.
Now we could imagine some workaround but they require a bit of work. Basically:
* create a wiki macro with the same name "rss"
* In the content of this wiki macro, use Groovy to lookup the original rss macro, execute
it, then get its XDOM and find all LinkBlocks, then add rel="blank" in those
blocks.
It's only about 6-7 lines of groovy script in total but it may be easy or hard
depending on your current knowledge of xwiki components/rendering.
Otherwise you could create a jira issue to request this feature.
Thanks

Hi Vincent,
Thanx for the feedback, I will spend some time on trying this out, its new
for me but of interest definately!
Another issue with the rss feed, is there a possibility to show this in a
panel? Since then my users can just move their heads to the left and see the
panel getting updated with the feed, and dont need to go to a page to do so.
Is this possible at all?
Would be a nice feature, if its not possible yet, I know, I go and make Jira
issues :-)
Thanx,
Wouter

An easier solution, though not the most elegant one, would be to write a

to "_blank". The only problem is that you should include that script via
xwiki.jsx.use(...) on each page you want this feature on.
The Javascript could look something like this:
document.observe("xwiki:dom:loaded") {
var rssLinks = $$('.rssitemtitle a'); //the css selector for links in the
'div's generated by the {{rss}} macro.
rssLinks.each(function(link){
link.writeAttribute('target', '_blank');

I hope it helps. Cheers!

Hi Stefan!
I played around with your solution and got it working just fine!
I created a Objekt - Java Extension on the page where I have the rss makro
and placed your script:
{
var rssLinks = $$('.rssitemtitle a'); //the css selector for links in the
'div's generated by the {{rss}} macro.
rssLinks.each(function(link){
link.writeAttribute('target', '_blank');
});
}
in there, and now it works just fine.
I still think it is a nice option to have within the makro and will try and
post a Jira accordingly.
Thanks for all the help,
Wouter

Hi Vincent,
One last on RSS, I am trying it in Panel this time, the Panel code
looks like this:
#panelheader ($'RSS')
{{rss feed="http://feeds.feedburner.com/massol" content="true"
image="true" count="2" /}}
#panelfooter()
And then I get a panel with the header OK, but the content just shows
{{rss feed="http://feeds.feedburner.com/massol" content="true"
image="true" count="2" /}}
I put the exact same code on a page and there it works fine, do I have
to put more code around it?
I tried putting #Macro (RSS Macro) in front, but got some error message:
Failed to evaluate content with id RSS Feeds
What am I missing?
Why does it work on a page but not in a panel?
Thanx again,
Wouter
