In order to solve the request for RSS links(bug 205454), I'm suggesting we put in a page variable like $PageRSS so that we can override the default RSS link in the header.

This would allow us to generate the correct links for archive and news portal pages while preventing clutter.  It also seems like this would be more in line with peoples perception of what the RSS link on these pages should do.  

We could also use this to add some an RSS linktype in the header so that the RSS icon will appear in the browser navigation bar on browsers like firefox.

-M.

Agreed. This should be a quick fix.

Patch to override default RSS

Patch to make this happen.  I tested this on our Phoenix sandbox.  If you get past the deprecated warnings of these pages:

http://phoenix.eclipse.org/downloads/rss-default.php
- notice the RSS icon links to the site RSS feed, and no 'alternate' subscription is proposed (in Firefox, this is an RSS icon next to the URL in the address bar)

http://phoenix.eclipse.org/downloads/rss-override.php
- here the site RSS icon is overriden with a bogus link to a feed on localhost. Also, an RSS icon appears next to the address bar in Firefox.

The usage is about as simple as using the current pageTitle, pageAuthor and pageKeywords variables:

[snip]
$pageAuthor		= "Eclipse Foundation, Inc.";
$App->PageRSS	= "http://localhost/www/downloads/rss.php";
$App->PageRSSTitle	= "Eclipse Downloads Feed";

This is live.  Override the default site RSS feed as explained in comment 3.
