Adding WP Pages to Your Feed, Continued
To prove that you can put your WordPress pages into a rss feed as well as posts, I’ve built a page feed for my yoga blog.
As mentioned in the previous post, I used Grouper Evolution’s regex plugin to make it happen.
The parsed page is http://www.yogaknoxville.com/pages/, which I built using a page template (do me a favor and don’t link to it). The Improved Include Page plugin made it easy to create the list of pages with extracted content once I modified it a bit to display the page titles linked to their permalinks. I also asked the plugin to strip out all html tags, this has both advantages and disadvantages, but it was the lazy way to make the formatting look decent.
The only real downside to this method is that you need to add each page to the template by hand. This is great if you only want to include a few pages. Not great if you have a ton of pages. The ability to add all pages at once while excluding those you don’t want to show up would be a major improvement.
If there’s interest, I can put up the template example and the modified plugin for download. It’s too late at night to worry over it at the moment.
Even better news. Now that we have a rss feed with pages, we can remix it (or “mash” it) with our posts feed, producing a feed with both posts and pages. You can do this with the new edition of CaRP Evolution.
