Include Aggregator source in Planet Drupal blog list

Created on 24 June 2023, about 1 year ago

Problem

Currently, all blogs on Planet Drupal → are listed in the right side, under the text "Collecting posts from the following 202 sources:" with a link to the blog, and its feed, in this format:

The Accidental Coder (feed)

Clicking the "feed" link opens an XML file, where you can't click the links.

Proposed solution

The links are clickable in the aggregator source on drupal.org, which is more useful, so that could be included:

The Accidental Coder ( source → , feed)

    Are you referring to the block to the right, the one with the following description?

    Planet Drupal aggregates broadly appealing, Drupal-related blog posts pertaining to the community at large (code, advocacy, marketing, infrastructure etc.). If you would like your blog to be included in the Planet, read the requirements and steps on how to join.

    Yes, sorry it wasn't clear enough. I am updating the Issue Summary.

    I asked to be sure I understood to which block you were referring.
    That is a custom block created by one of the custom modules/features used for drupal.org.

    The block is implemented by the Drupal.org news module, in drupalorg_news_block_view(). Since it fetches information from the aggregator_feed table, it could also show a link to the aggregator source.

    Sounds great. So should the status be changed to needs work, if you think it is a good idea, so someone can look at it at some point?

  • 🇮🇹Italy apaderno Brescia, 🇮🇹

    I would leave the status as it is now.
    As site moderator, I would find a link to the aggregator source much helpful to handle all the requests that are about existing feeds that do not provide a link to the original request to add the feed. The point of view from other users would be helpful too, though; that is why I would keep the current status.

    Sure, let's see what the other users think.
