[Plugin: MultiTags] proper tags in RSS feeds

Hi upyup,

thanks for your feedback.

Yes. You’re right. I totally forgot about the feed.
I will look into it and add this to the plugin.

Thanks for the hint.
Best regards

Hi upyup,

sorry to say, but adapting the feed is not possible from inside the plugin.
I have searched through the wordpress-code to find, where the feed-information is set. And that’s deep inside the core, without the possibility to hook into.

If you want to patch the core you can do so in wp-include/general-template.php

You find (in WP 3.0.1):

} elseif ( is_tag() ) {
		$tag_id = intval( get_query_var('tag_id') );
		$tag = get_tag( $tag_id );

		$title = esc_attr(sprintf( $args['tagtitle'], get_bloginfo('name'), $args['separator'], $tag->name ));
		$href = get_tag_feed_link( $tag_id );

You can replace $tag->name with multi_tags_get_title() (at least the title will then be better, but the link is still wrong)

I will add a convenience-function similar to “get_tag_feed_link” which will hanlde multiple tags, but you still have to change part of the core. Which is a bad thing.

Hi upyup,

I updated to a new version and with that you can correct the RSS-feeds as well (after some fuddling with core-files).
I added the tutorial how to do that in the FAQ of the Plugin.

Best regards

For the 3.1 release the lines that have to be changed to get the “multi-tag”-feed working are a little bit different, than mentioned in the faq.

In wp-includes/general-template.php

you have to replace (in the if-branch ( is_tag() )):

$title = esc_attr(sprintf( $args['tagtitle'], get_bloginfo('name'), $args['separator'], $term->name ));
$href = get_tag_feed_link( $term->term_id );

with
if ( function_exists('multi_tags_get_title') )
$title = esc_attr(sprintf( $args['tagtitle'], get_bloginfo('name'), $args['separator'], multi_tags_get_title() ));
else
$title = esc_attr(sprintf( $args['tagtitle'], get_bloginfo('name'), $args['separator'], $term->name ));
if ( function_exists('multi_tags_get_tag_feed_link') )
$href = multi_tags_get_tag_feed_link( $tag_id );
else
$href = get_tag_feed_link( $term->term_id );


Hope you enjoy this plugin.
