Hello Hasan,
These updates look great! This project is really coming along. I was watching the Flipboard page that I've created for the last a few days. For some reason at the beginning --after this message of yours-- the last APOD wasn't there. But now, it seems to be working properly. However, the publishing time is 02:00 AM --which is not important in our case.
As far as I can see, everything is functioning properly. I would like you to check this Flipboard page (
https://flipboard.com/@apod_nasa/apod_h-b1kcbdp3y), you might be able to see problems that I don't see. The only thing that I've noticed is that for videos, there are still no thumbnails. Could you please look into that?
Best,
Ogetay
Thank you Ogetay! I'm happy with the progress as well.
I was adding the images in something called "enclosure" for feed items, but apparently it is not the mechanism utilized by Flipboard. I updated it now to work in the way they use — but it needs testing from your side, as I am unable to access the link you provided (maybe it is private for your account only?). The good thing is (from what I understand) is that we should now not only get video previous, but the full video embed! — Also needs checking from your side.
Regarding the updates, there seem to be a mechanism (PubSubHubbub) to notify feed consumers (i.e. Flipboard) when content is updated. I'll see how can that, or an alternative, be implemented, in the next step!
Please check and let me know how things go. Also, if I can check the page in the link you provided, that would be great.
Best,
Hasan
Hi Hasan,
Thank you for the updates! I'm sorry about the inconvenience, the link should be accessible for you now:
https://flipboard.com/@apod_nasa/apod_- ... ator_share
What I do here is, every time you update, I delete the old magazine and create a new one with your RSS feed. The reason is, Flipboard is not updating the older posts even you update your RSS feed. So in this way, I can see if there are any differences. But I'm not sure if they somehow store the old posts, even if you delete them. Sometimes these are stored on their side. So if you're sure that this should work --for the video-- we can wait for the next video post and see.
It seems that the videos still don't have a thumbnail --see the Nov 30 post. And I don't know why --maybe because of the thing I explained above. But all the other problems seem to be solved which is great! This project almost come along.
You can also create a Flipboard account with your email, and create a magazine with this RSS feed --no other requirements. So you can simultaneously test your RSS feed too if you'd like to.
Best,
Ogetay
