Change "rss2.php?blog=2" to "blog2.rss"

1 Dec 11, 2005 00:35    

Is it possible to change the RSS feed extension? I'm trying to use [url=http://www.tagcloud.com]TagCloud[/url] and I don't think it likes my site's feed because it ends in "rss2.php?blog=2" rather than in the traditional ".rss". Any ideas?

Here's an example of what my tags looks like versus CNN-Offbeat news, which ends in ".rss":

(and yes, I've waited several minutes [weeks, actually] for the tags to generate)

You could configure your webserver like this in .htaccess (Apache and mod_rewrite would be required):
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/rss/blog_([0-9]+).rss$ /xmlsrv/rss2.php?blog=$1 [L]

This would redirect /rss/blog_2.rss to /xmlsrv/rss2.php?blog=2.

On the other hand I don't believe that this is the root of the problem (the extension of the URL).

That sounds really complicated... I could try it, but I'd probably mess something up.

You said you don't think the extension is the problem... any other ideas?

I'd ask the TagScout support or search their support forums (if there are any) and/or Google of course.
