doc/todo/inline_plugin:_ability_to_override_feed_name.mdwn



If RSS and Atom are enabled by default, the [[plugins/contrib/comments]]
plugin generates a feed, perhaps /sandbox/index.atom for comments on the
sandbox. If a blog is added to the page, the blog will steal the name
/sandbox/index.atom and the comments plugin's feed will change to
/sandbox/index.atom2.
If \[[!inline]] gained a parameter feedname or something, the comments
plugin could use feedname=comments to produce /sandbox/comments.atom
instead (this would just require minor enhancements to rsspage(),
atompage() and targetpage()).
As a side benefit, my blog could go back
to its historical Atom feed URL of .../feed.atom (which is currently a
symlink to index.atom :-) )
On sites not using usedirs the current feed is /sandbox.atom, and we
could perhaps change it to /sandbox-comments.atom or
/sandbox/comments.atom if feedname=comments is given.

This is slightly hard to do, because you have to worry about
conflicting pages setting feedname, which could cause ikiwiki to blow up.
Particularly for the non-usedirs case, where a page sandbox/comments
would produce the same feed as sandbox with feedname=comments.
Hmm, looking some more, since inline tracks %knownfeeds and uniquifys
the names on conflicts, you'd just end up with sandbox/comments.atom2
if there were a conflict -- acceptable. --[[Joey]]
