Subscribe Sidebar's Zune link
« on: February 18, 2011, 11:49:43 am »
I recently had an issue with a Zune listener using the wrong URL to subscribe to our podcast.  It turned out he was using the link provided by the Subscribe Sidebar widget.  The configuration for that plugin offers a checkbox for "Zune (for podcast subscription)" but it doesn't let me specify the feed.  As a result, he was subscribed to http://www.open-apple.net/feed/, instead of the PowerPress-powered feed, which is http://www.open-apple.net/feed/podcast/.

Is there a way to get this plugin to use the PowerPress-provided feed instead?  The only way I've found is to edit subscribe_sidebar.php, changing lines 120-121 from

Code: [Select]
echo '<a href="zune://subscribe/?'.str_replace('+', '_', urlencode($blog_name) ). '='. $rss2_url .'" title="Add to Zune"><img src="'.$plugin_url.$icons[$key].'" alt="Add to Zune" /></a>';
echo '<a href="zune://subscribe/?'.str_replace('+', '_', urlencode($blog_name) ). '='. $rss2_url .'" title="Add to Zune">Add to Zune</a>';

to

Code: [Select]
echo '<a href="zune://subscribe/?'.str_replace('+', '_', urlencode($blog_name) ). '='. $rss2_url .'podcast/" title="Add to Zune"><img src="'.$plugin_url.$icons[$key].'" alt="Add to Zune" /></a>';
echo '<a href="zune://subscribe/?'.str_replace('+', '_', urlencode($blog_name) ). '='. $rss2_url .'podcast/" title="Add to Zune">Add to Zune</a>';

On a related note, should the blubbry.com page for the Subscribe Sidebar plugin be updated from v1.2.0 to v1.3.1?
