Better Feed is a plugin for Wordpress that allows you to enhance your feeds with several highly customisable features.
Current version : 1.99 for WordPress 2.5+ Incoming version 2.0 with an easier to customize admin panel.
Features
- Add "Read more" links
On your site, you can split post on two parts, teaser and body, using the tag <!--more-->. Why not have a "Read more" link as well in your feed, for longer posts, or when you want to tease and keep the surprise off the feed ?
(By the way, while I'm at it : "summary" feeds truncated after 40 words just suck big time. Read more) - Add "Next page" links
Similarly, you can split posts in pages, with <!--nextpage-->. By default, feeds only show the first page and give no link for the rest. Why not have the same "Read more" link within your feed ? - Add the number of comments
When you find an interesting post via your feed reader, you often have to check the website for new comments, or to subscribe to the comment feed. Why not add, at the end of every RSS item, something like "13 comments", just like in your blog frontpage ? - Add a copyright notice
Concerned with content stealers reproducing your posts automatically somewhere without giving you credit ? Why not add something like "© Joe - 2005" and a link to some neat Creative Commons License ? - Add a list of related posts
Improve connectivity between your feed and your site : why not add, at the end of each RSS item, a list of related posts your readers may have missed ? - Add a link for Technorati's Cosmos
Why not add a handy link to quickly check who's linking to your post ? - Add a "Add to del.icio.us" link
Let your readers bookmark your entries right from within their RSS reader - Add anything
There's so many stuff you could think of that I just can't list them all :)
Download
You know the story : download, edit the beginning, upload to your server, activate. Next section details everthing that can be edited.
wp_ozh_betterfeed.zip
Extract and upload to your blog, preserving directory structure if any.
Note: download counter here and stats on wordpress.org may differ and reflect the number of downloads before this plugin was hosted on the plugin directory
Configure
Edit the beginning of the plugin (the source itself is fairly well documented, most users can just stop reading here now :)
$wp_ozh_betterfeed['split']
Set to 1 (one) if you want your feed to obey the <!--more--> tag and add a "Read more" link.
Set to 0 (zero) otherwise (print whole post, as in Wordpress default behavior)
$wp_ozh_betterfeed['multipage']
Set to 1 (one) if you want your feed to smartly hanlde multiple page posts (with <!--nextpage-->), i.e. provide a "Read More" link as well (Wordpress default behavior does not special in this case, just displays first part and nothing else)
Now edit your custom strings : "read more" link, custom footer, number of comments. In each of these strings, you are allowed to use the following "template tags" :
- %%blogname%% : blog name (My Weblog)
- %%blogurl%% : blog url (http://myblog.com/)
- %%posttitle%% : post title (Hello World)
- %%posturl%% : post url (http://myblog.com/archives/2001/02/03/hello-world/ or http://myblog.com/?p=1337)
- %%id%% : post ID (its number, i.e. 1337 in above example)
- %%date[Y]%% : date / time of post, where pattern within brackets follows PHP date() syntax
- %%categories%% : list of commas separated category names the post is filed in
- %%categorylinks%% : list of commas separated category links the post is filed in
- %%comments%% : number of comments
- %%comments_text%% : text for 0, 1 or xx comments (see below)
- %%readmore%% : "Read more" link text, if applicable (see below)
- %%wordcount%% : total number of words in a post
- %%wordcount_remain%% : number of words in second part after the split
- %%author_first%% : author's firstname
- %%author_last%% : author's lastname
- %%author_nick%% : author's nickname
Use these tokens to create your own strings for the following :
$wp_ozh_betterfeed['readmore']
Defines text for the "Read more" link, if applicable (empty otherwise)
Suggested :
-
(...)<br/>Read the rest of <a href="%%posturl%%">%%posttitle%%</a> (%%wordcount_remain%% words)
$wp_ozh_betterfeed['footer']
Defines you custom footer that will be added after every RSS items.
Suggested :
-
<p>%%readmore%%</p>
-
<hr noshade style="margin:0;height:1px" />
-
<p>© %%author_nick%% for <a href="%%blogurl%%">%%blogname%%</a>, %%date[Y]%%. |
-
<a href="%%posturl%%">Permalink</a> |
-
<a href="%%posturl%%#comments">%%comments_text%%</a></p>
-
<p>Add to <a href="http://del.icio.us/post?url=%%posturl%%&title=%%posttitle%%">del.icio.us</a></p>
-
<p>Search blogs linking this post with <a href="http://www.technorati.com/search/%%posturl%%" title="Search on Technorati">Technorati</a></p>
-
<p>Want more on these topics ? Browse the archive of posts filed under %%categorylinks%%.</p>
$wp_ozh_betterfeed['0comment'] = "No comment";
$wp_ozh_betterfeed['1comment'] = "One comment";
$wp_ozh_betterfeed['Xcomments'] = "% comments";
Define replacement for %%comments_text%% when there is no, one or more than one comment. The '%' sign is replaced by actual number of comments in the last string.
Please note
A few things you might not get on first run that will save me some support:
- If you include the number of comments in each feed item, be warned that some feed readers will display an item as "New" every time someone comments on it. It's normal, and it is how I intented it to behave so following conversation is easier than ever.
- If you're using Feedburner, your feed won't immediately show changes after you've activated the plugin. To do so, go to your Feedburner Dashboard → Troubleshootize → Synchronize.
- You won't notice any change if you're viewing your feed with your regular browser. Use a feed reader.

thought, on 23/Oct/05 at 5:02 pm # :
Ozx, I really like the plugin except for one issue. It seems to display an entry as new in a feed reader (I use Bloglines) everytime the comment count on a recent entry changes, even if there aren't actually any new entries. Is there a way around this?
commented, on 23/Oct/05 at 8:55 pm # :
Jacob, as far as I know Bloglines is the only feed reader with such a behavior.
And to be honest, this is exactly what I intented : how would you be supposed to track how many comments there are on a given entry if the feed item never updates as "new" ? Otherwise, entries would always show 0 comments (i.e. number of comment when blogline refreshes your feed) and never update.
thought, on 25/Oct/05 at 8:07 pm # :
Ah, that is a good point. The only time it could be annoying is when it sends a "false alarm" to readers that there's a new entry. I guess I'll consider this an incentive to make sure I always have new content up :)
Thanks for the plugin!
said, on 25/Oct/05 at 9:59 pm # :
If "false alarm" is an issue, you could still use the plugin with a feed item footer mentionning no comment count. This way, text wouldn't change.
And thanks for your feedback, I appreciate :)

[...] Anyhow, such that all my hard work does not go unnoticed, there is now a neat little footer to each post. Essentially you have a link to the actual post itself (useful if’n anyone wants to link to a specific post from offiste), a link to the post comments (essentially the same as clicking the number to the right of the post title), a link to add the post to your delicious bookmarks account, a link track links to this post at Technorati, and a link to browse other posts in the same category.

replied, on 27/Feb/06 at 12:40 am # :
Elana » I designed the plugin exactly to entice people to switch to full feeds. People afraid of automatic content stealing can add a copyright, people wanting to add some teasing on their webpage with a "More" tag can do the same on their feed, etc...
So, basically, I designed it exactly *not* to work with short content feeds. Because, you know, partial content feeds suck :) Plus, a short content feed with as much text in the post summary as in the footer, well, that would really suck.
So, basically, you're on your own if you want to modify it to do so.

I began the rather lengthy process of implementing the “Delicious Phase” by replacing Angsuman’s Feed Copyrighter plugin with Ozh’s Better Feed plugin. Ozh’s plugin allows me to present MacManX.com’s RSS feed with a copyright notice similar to the one formerly provided by Angsuman’s plugin and an “Add to: del.icio.us” link under every post, as well as other useful features. Once Ozh’s plugin was properly configured and activated, I then began the long task of adding the “Add to: del.icio.us” link to Rin’s template files in order to make it appear under every post and almost every page here at MacManX.com.

This is a clever enhancement to WP. Thank you.
While I agree that full feeds are often better, there are occasions when a split feed is preferred. I make heavy use of category feeds in WP for our "News & Events" blog. When one of these category feeds is being consumed on a main page to show the latest news and events, I want it to show a teaser in order to save space. On the other hand, when one of these category feeds is being consumed by a page that is designed for printing, I want full feeds. Is there a way to selectively apply the Better Feed mojo to some feeds and not others?

I have changed both settings (on/off if you will), but still only get the excerpts. I also don't get any errors. Any ideas on what could be wrong? Full post feeds are essential to the business that I am trying to start.
