Florian Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Hey guys, So I've been making this little extension. It works quite simply really. Just open the script, enter a valid RSS feed (must be xml) and your good to go! http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14050630/RSS.alfredworkflow Don't hesitate to ask for anything. drking and alips 2 Link to comment
MrClaye Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 AWESOME. You really got a good idea, thanks ! Link to comment
jdfwarrior Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Another neat way to extend from this would be to allow for multiple feeds. Check multiples, sirt them in the list by time/date. Could make a command to list all feed sources, set a modifier key + action to delete that source, etc Link to comment
Florian Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 Yes but that would actually require some work Or to do a google reader based extension. I'm lazy =D Link to comment
MrClaye Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 You should improve from time to time this workflow, there's potential and this is really cool and useful to check news really quickly ! I've a question but I already know the answer I guess : Is it possible to script something that will open an object in the backgroud without quit Alfred ? Link to comment

Florian Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 Well if I understand right what MrClaye is asking, it'd be to open smth on the background on a user's action, right ? That, I don't think, is possible. Otherwise, yes it is. And I do change this workflow sometimes. The link is always at the last revision. I just don't really signal it because I don't do anything major on it. Honestly, the only big change that could happen at that point would be a feed management thing. I may do that. I may also be really lazy But sometimes I do get carried away ad do stuff like my Transmission workflow ! Link to comment
CarlosNZ Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Hey, first of all, this is a great workflow. I've only just tried it out, and it's perfect for certain kinds of information. I'm just having problems with the rss feed from Pocket. And yes, I've definitely got my personal feed unauthenticated. I can download it just fine using "curl" in bash, and the xml looks pretty standard. The only thing I can see that seems unusual is the CDATA tags round the title: <item> <title><![CDATA[Alfred.app: How to Add Tasks to Remember the Milk]]></title> <category>Unread</category> <link>https://zippykid.com/2011/11/30/using-alfred-app-to-add-things-to-your-remember-the-milk-rtm-lists</link> <guid>https://zippykid.com/2011/11/30/using-alfred-app-to-add-things-to-your-remember-the-milk-rtm-lists</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 10 Jan 2013 22:50:19 -0600</pubDate> </item> Could that possibly be messing it up? Or is there anything else that you can think of that might be problematic? Link to comment
Florian Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 Try and set $display_subtitle to false in the settings (top of the script). Right now it is looking for something that doesn't seem to be in your <item>. If that doesn't work, i'll try and do some real debugging Link to comment
CarlosNZ Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Alas, no joy. But I notice now that there is no <description> tag in there, which your instructions say is required. Is something that's easy to work around? Link to comment
Florian Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 Well yeah but it looks for a <description> only if the $display_subtitle flag is set to true. I don't know whats wrong here. Just took a look at my code. Seems pretty basic. Poor too. But should work. Link to comment
politicus Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Hi Florian, I just tried to add a script filter that fetches an Hacker News RSS feed. https://news.ycombinator.com/rss It fetches the feed but when I try to open one entry in Chrome, I get an about:page. I tried do set $display_subtitle to false, no joy. Link to comment
