OPML Directories Demo

This is an activeRenderered version of my opmlDirectories outline, an OPML document created according to this Userland tutorial.

If you click on the small up arrow at the left of the nodes below, you should see those nodes expand to reveal the directories contents, as maintained by their original authors.

If you are a user of Internet Explorer or Safari on a MacOS system, they will expand in a different window, sorry.

There's a bug in the current 5.2 version of Mac MSIE, which will never get fixed since the 6.0 version was cancelled, and as far as I know, Safari is not standards compatible enough yet for transclusion to work - though I haven't checked the 1.1.1 version.

This is a demonstration of browser based transclusion, more information is available in this tutorial.

Radio Upstreaming Beta and activeRenderer

A quick note: the new upstreaming scheme provided with Radio's Uptreaming Beta will break the normal automatic upstreaming of outlines saved in 'outlines' or 'opml' folders under Radio's root folder ('www') or any Radio category folder.

I have a fix ready in activeRenderer version 2.5.2, but other features of 2.5.2 are not quite ready for release yet.

I'll announce vs 2.5.2 soon on the ar-announce list.

In the meantime, any beta-tester who wants the fix right now can get a pre-release aR 2.5.2 update by dropping me a line directly.

activeRenderer Users Gallery Update

[image] First update in over a year.

I had almost forgotten the existence of the activeRenderer Users Gallery page :-).

Anyway, my hat's off to Dawn and Drew.

While they are not using Radio Userland as their publication tool, they've made a great use of the public activeRenderer web service and its XML-RPC API to create outlined show notes for their podcasts.

[image] Thanks to the audio transcluding feature of activeRenderer 2.5 built into the web service, you can listen to their podcasts directly inside the show note page by clicking the small 'loudspeaker' wedge icon in the 'MP3 File' paragraph.

Outline link macros

Starting with version 2.5, activeRenderer provides a way to include part of the outline's content into the URL specifying a transcluding link.

If you think this is gibberish...

You're probably right.

A small example will probably make things clearer, at least if you are reading this directly on the activeRenderer News site.

Click on the 'page' wedge icon to the left of the next paragraph to learn what MSDN can report about activeRenderer. activeRenderer The URL of the link attached to the previous node looks like this: http://beta.search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=##self## ##self## is a link macro that references the current node's textual content.

Link macros come in several flavors besides ##self##.

They are useful as search requests arguments to specify richer outline links.

Learn more about link macros in activeRenderer's Tutorial 9.

With the webOutliner tool installed...

...

I can prepare a post using a full featured browser based outliner, then press the 'post to weblog' icon to publish it into this weblog.

This is my first public posting experiment with the webOutliner, a companion Radio tool to activeRenderer.

The webOutliner is still under wraps, but its release date is getting closer :-) There is no official webOutliner site yet, but a demo site has been running for some time.

There is also a wo-support discussion group; and a support index.

With the current version of webOutliner, I can format my posts in static HTML (using HTML blockquote tags) or, in activeRenderer style dynamic HTML, such as in this post.

This is fun when linking to podcasts, such as these Morning Coffee Notes from Dave Winer.

There's still a little work to do: filtering DHTML in the RSS feed, providing for post links and enclosures, sending outlines over email.

Parallel development is on the way on non Radio, non Usertalk environments.

Stay tuned.
