I'm using the Django Feeds Framework and it's really nice, very intuitive and easy to use. But, I think there is a problem when creating links to feeds in HTML.
For example:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="{{ feed_title }}" href="{{ url_of_feed }}" />
Link's HREF
attribute can be easily found out, just use reverse()
But, what about the TITLE
attribute? Where the template engine should look for this? Even more, what if the feed is build up dinamically and the title depends on parameters (like this)?
This is the solution I came up with. However, as you can see, there is some caveats:
Requires Django 1.2 Class Feeds, don't know exactly how to do this with the old way of feeds.
If the feed class uses the request object, the request
context processor must be configured, since None
is passed if it isn't present in the context.
* There's an oddity with Feed.__get_dynamic_attr(). The Feed subclass instance doesn't have this method; instead, it appears with another name. Don't know how to figure the name out at runtime...
I've posted this problem on StackOverflow, but didn't get a better answer.
