The need to detect blog title and description

Development — simon on January 16, 2006 at 7:30 pm

I just realised that along with RSS Auto-Discovery the class (RSSseeker) needs functionality to detect and retreive the “title” and description of the blog. Currently there is no way of getting this information and it is also required for the OPML output.
This can be easily done by implementing an RSS parser (RSS/Atom etc) into the class.

Work, therefore, is still on-going and the features mentioned in the earlier post might not be available that soon.

  1. DB schema should be changed/expanded/modified for this, right?

  2. The next step would probably be to automatically detect the links on it, and device an inteligent method to catagorize them.

  3. For that purpose I don’t think a modification to the DB schema is required. As the fields mentioned by Simon will respectively go to the ‘title’ and the ‘comments’ fields already in the ‘mv_blogs’ table.

  4. The ‘title’ field was added by me to fulfill this purpose.
