RailsPlanet updates soon
02.06.2006 05:47 PM

So, for the last few months I've been too busy to work on the Planet RubyOnRails code. We launched last week and that has freed up some time. So here's the list of upcoming stuff:

  • Crawler now based on FeedTools
  • Feed caching via FeedTools, cron job can now be run as often as you like and feeds are only retrieved if their ttl has expired
  • First Run account creation
  • Category/Tags support from feed categories
  • Theme support from the theme support plugin
  • Pages support with Textile markup like Typo
  • A whole slew of bugfixes, and HTML fixes
  • Working tests

I've been talking to Victor about adding some more stuff, like ping support, and configurable sidebar support, like Typo.

How did you work around FeedTools performance issues (as mentioned on the authors site) or wasn't it an issue.

I didn't really, I change my cron job to run every five minutes and check if live? before doing anything with the feeds. That way I only get the ones that aren't up to date. It has slown down a lot per feed but I'll take the accuracy of FeedTools over double posts or the invalid feed error I was getting every once in a while.
