HTTP (basic) auth enabled (new-style) syndication framework feed class

This snipped provides a subclass of the syndication Feed class that supports HTTP authentication (basic auth). Feeds that should support authentication can inherit from this class instead from the Feed class. It is basically the implementation of [Snippet #243](http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/243/) ported to the new-style syndication framework feeds (for which decorators don't work). Usage: class ArticleFeed(HTTPAuthFeed): def items(self, obj): return Article.objects.all().order_by('-created')[:10] def item_title(self, item): return item.title def item_description(self, item): return item.description

RSS feed with content:encoded elements

This creates an RSS feed that has "content:encoded" elements for each item in the feed. The "description" is best used for a brief summary of the entry, while the extra ["content:encoded"](http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content#syntax2) element is designed for the entire contents of something. This is the code I'm using for a weblog app. The main features you'd need to copy to add "content:encoded" elements to your own feed are: * **ExtendedRSSFeed()** -- this is used to create a new kind of feed generator class that will know about these extra elements. * **feed_type = ExtendedRSSFeed** -- we tell the feed class which feed generator class to use. * **item_extra_kwargs()** -- we add the "content:encoded" element to each item. This populates the element by calling... * **item_content_encoded()** -- this prepares the actual content. The name doesn't have to be in this format, but it seemed sensible to follow convention. The body of my weblog Entries are split into two parts and here it makes sure we add both parts, both of which contain HTML (which the syndication classes will encode appropriately.

iTunes Podcast RSS Feed

The syndication documentation gives a very basic beginning to creating an iTunes Podcast Feed, but leaves a lot of work left to be figured out. This is a completed example. Because I needed to obtain the duration of the podcast file programmatically (not part of this code) I limit the podcast to mp3 files. If you want to obtain durations some other way you can set the mime_type in the same manner as the other properties. This is what I'm using and should be plenty for you to customize from.

Media RSS generation for Photologue

Provides a basic implementation of Yahoo's [MediaRSS](http://video.search.yahoo.com/mrss) format for [Photologue](http://code.google.com/p/django-photologue/) galleries Simplest usage: I have feedgenerator.py in a utils directory. Import photofeeds and hook up the feed url in your URLConf: from utils.feedgenerator import photofeeds urlpatterns += patterns('', url(r'^feeds/(?P<url>.*)/$', 'django.contrib.syndication.views.feed', {'feed_dict': photofeeds}),) Without customization, this will generate a feed for the gallery archive at `/feeds/gallery/` It will contain a single photo per gallery, as returned by Gallery.sample() Additionally, each gallery has a dynamic feed available at the url via Gallery.title_slug: `/feeds/gallery/gallery-title-slug/` This feed will contain an Item for each Photo in the Gallery All that is left is to add an autodiscovery feed to your pages in &lt;head&gt;. An RSS agent like CoolIris can then parse your gallery and provide a slick view of your photos. e.g Add something like this to gallery_detail.html: `<link rel="alternate" href="/feeds/gallery/{{ object.title_slug }}/" type="application/rss+xml" title="Photologue Gallery - {{ object.title }}" id="gallery_feed" /> `
