Feed is solely ".atom" and ".rss"

[patricksalo]

I'm using the latest Feed plugin 1.10.0, with Grav 1.7.44 and the Typhoon 2.4.5 theme. Ever since rolling out my blog website, the ATOM and RSS buttons point to files .atom and .rss respectively.

Although this does indeed work, it looks odd without an actual filename. Any ideas as to why I'm not getting something a bit more standard like blog.atom and blog.rss for the feeds?

If it helps, I have a main blog "folder" within my pages that contains several blog posts. This blog folder is set as my homepage with my Root showing non-routable. Additionally, my blog URL is at https://myserver.com/blog and with grav actually installed in a /grav folder but I have an nginx alias that remaps this /grav path to /blog.

Thanks in advance for any insights.

it's because your blog is on your homepage at the root, and by default that page is aliased to "". if your blog was at https://yoursite/blog, the feed would be https://yoursite/blog.rss etc.

if your blog is undered "home", i think you could harcode home.rss and it would also work.

Many thanks! So thoughts on where to hardcode this in? I tried the buttons in the sidebar.html.twig but that then breaks the buttons. I also tried using blog.rss instead of home.rss without any luck.

My blog folder is indeed "blog" but what's interesting is that I spun up a second server instance of Grav and set things up in a similar fashion (minus Typhoon) and on this second instance when editing this folder it shows...

Save location: user/pages/blog (type: blog)

...but my original and main server/blog shows:

Save location: blog/user/pages (type: blog)

...in spite of on disk I can confirm that both servers are storing things in the exact same location...

/grav/user/pages/blog

I eventually came back to this and figured things out. Wanted to share in case others have similar problems. I ended up editing line 44 in:

/users/themes/typhoon/templates/partials/sidebar.html.twig

From:
<a class="btn mb-2 mr-2 px-4!" href="{{ feed_url }}.atom">{{ rss_icon|raw }} <span class="ml-1 align-middle">Atom</span></a><a class="btn mb-2 mr-2 px-4!" href="{{ feed_url }}.rss">{{ rss_icon|raw }} <span class="ml-1 align-middle">RSS</span></a>{% if config.plugins.feed.enable_json_feed %}<a class="btn px-4!" href="{{ feed_url }}.json"><i class="fa fa-rss-square"></i> JSON</a>{% endif %}

To:
<a class="btn mb-2 mr-2 px-4!" href="{{ feed_url }}blog.atom">{{ rss_icon|raw }} <span class="ml-1 align-middle">Atom</span></a><a class="btn mb-2 mr-2 px-4!" href="{{ feed_url }}blog.rss">{{ rss_icon|raw }} <span class="ml-1 align-middle">RSS</span></a>{% if config.plugins.feed.enable_json_feed %}<a class="btn px-4!" href="{{ feed_url }}.json"><i class="fa fa-rss-square"></i> JSON</a>{% endif %}

Notice the blog.atom and blog.rss in the new line instead of simply .atom and .rss. I believe this did the trick but I did notice in my most current effort that these two files:

1. /users/MySite/config/plugsins/feed.yaml
2. /users/MySite/config/plugsins/feed-us.yaml

....both had paths/URLs that were correct, respectively:

routes:
rss: /blog/feed.rss
atom: /blog/feed.atom

feed_url: 'https://mySite/blog/blog.rss'

I don't recall if #1 or #2 got changed when I first attempted this effort many moons ago so the fix might just be with sidebar.html.twig. Just mentioning in case the fix was a combination of these things.

The URL should be based on the feed_url param you pass to the sidebar.html.twig... if you pass /blog/feed to the include from the blog.html.twig main template, then the full URL would become /blog/feed.atom and /blog/feed.rss with the original Twig before your modifications. I don't think any of that has changed recently.

Okay this makes sense but not really sure what this means for an average everyday user. These days I don't do much PHP coding and know almost zilch about Twig. Is there some spot where I would pass in the path into blog.html.twig?

It's been a while, so let me recap things...

1. General purpose Grav
   a. Sole purpose is to run my blog
   b. The blog folder in the root is the homepage for Grav
2. OOB Typhoon Theme
3. OOB Grav Feed Plugin

Maybe there's some web UI spot in Grav to get things work properly? I ended up hacking on the /users/themes/typhoon/templates/partials/sidebar.html.twig based upon your first comment:

if your blog is undered "home", i think you could harcode home.rss and it would also work.

I did find one issue though in that it appears that when Typhoon gets updated I need to reapply my change to sidebar.html.twig again.
