[Xerte] Re: Toolkits RSS

[Julian Tenney]

Second related (and more interesting) question:

How best to allow users to share content they put together on their phones? Bottom line is some xml that drives the app, it would be good if the user could share that xml, or part of it, with other users, using some existing platform out in the world, in a way that would allow other users to easily subscribe to that content from their own phone.

So the user case is: I build a cracking set of resources about topic xyz. I want to share that set of resources with another user who also studies xyz and also uses the mobile xerte application…”

Thanks,

Nope.

How can I tell (I don’t think I can) if the data I get is a feed or a feed?

So http://bit.ly/niTABT is a feed from a toolkits folder.
http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/xerte/rss/rssfeed.xml is a real world rss feed.

I need to be able to tell the difference… I don’t see a generator field?

All toolkits fields should have the genetator field set to xerte online toolkits

Is there any way of knowing for sure whether the URLs provided by toolkits for RSS feeds are in fact toolkits feeds, or some other URL? There’s nothing unique about the actual feed / path is there? It could in theory be anything?
