Bird Feeder with Ruby on Rails

Anyone have any success getting a feed tracking pepper to work with feeds generated dynamically by Rails? I’ve got a Rails site with some feeds I’d like to track inside Mint if at all possible. Thanks.

I’m afraid that’s not possible at this point in time. You need to be able to parse your feed as PHP in order to be tracked by Bird Feeder. (You could create a proxy PHP file that cURLs your Rails feed and adds the Bird Feeder hooks but that wouldn’t be terribly efficient.)

At this point, since I was not able to get help from the Typo groups for getting Rails to work with the previous .htaccess methods and this new issue, a move to something more agreeable like Wordpress is in order for me.

I kind of expected that answer, but thought it couldn’t hurt to try. {;o)

Thanks!

If you’re using Typo and you want something that will simply convert your entire site to Wordpress, take a look at http://ctrlclick.co.uk/articles/2006/06 … -wordpress
