Custom Drupal Recently Updated Modules Feed


By David Grant - Posted on 25 October 2006

I just created a feed of recently updated drupal modules using RSSxl Beta could do it. I entered:

  • Page URL: http://drupal.org/project/Modules/date
  • Start String: leave blank
  • Start Item String: <h2>
  • End Item String: </div>
  • Start Description String: <p>
  • End Description String: </p>
  • Link Number: 1

Unfortunately, according to this forum post, "RSSxl only uses the first 20KB of the target page - we have to do that to keep bandwidth usage down to reasonable proportions." And because drupal seems to alphabetize the modules that got updated in any given day, if the number of module updates that fit into 20kB is more than the number that were updated on a certain day, then some module updates might not get into this feed.

Actually it might not be exactly alphabetical...it looks like it is aphabetical in batches. Must be due to a cron job running infrequently and the batch it generates on each run is alphabetical either intentionally or unintentionally due to the fact that directories and the like are sorted alphabetically by default.
