RSS

The last addition concerns a couple of image links I put in place -- one to make it easier for AmphetaDesk users to subscribe to my RSS feed and the other to link to my Powell's.com affiliate account.

Radio seems to be a little persnickety about where images are located, and downright ornery about the syntax in img src tags. I have everything working properly on the Home Page, but I still don't have it right on all the category and support pages. I don't understand why.

Now AmphetaDesk users can subscribe to my RSS feed with a single click on the XML_Pill icon, the same way Radio users can suscribe by clinking on the XML_CoffeeCup. AmphetaDesk provides clear instructions on integrating AmphetaDesk into a site. I just did a cut-and-paste of the code into my Home Page template. Again, the syntax is persnickety -- especially the placement of / at the end of things. Radio couldn't seem to decide if the image path needed / in front of it or not.

I don't know Userland lingo or Frontier so this makes no sense to me. But I just looked for similar code examples, kept fiddling with it, and it finally worked. For the Home Page I did not put a / at the front of the image path.

But, like I said, the image isn't rendering on any of the other pages. That may be the problem.

It's the same with the Powells.com link. Everything works fine on the Home Page, but Category and support pages have a broken image link. I've submitted a query to the Userland Discussion group on this.

Haloo! Lawrence Lee responded already and pointed me to the radio.macro.imageref macro to solve this little instability. Thanks Lawrence!

It seems like the imageref macro may not work. I may have to point to the full path of the image on the Cloud site. A hard coded link will break when I transfer Radio to my own server because the path will change. Bummer. I don't like that but it will have to do.

Update: Doh! Somebody slap me...

The imageref macro generates the img src tag so there is no need to include it inside a tag. Thanks again to Lawrence for straightening me out.
