Hi there,

thank you for this great package!

One thing I could not figure out is how to add a custom atom:link entry to a feed?

I want to add entry like this :

<atom:link href=“https://www.example.org” rel=“alternate” type=“text/html”/>

Any ideas are welcome. Thank you.

Hello and welcome to our forums! :smiley:

Add a link to the entry:

$entry->setLink('http://www.example.com/article');

This will produce:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
    <!-- … -->
    <entry>
        <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.example.com/article"/>
        <!-- … -->
    </entry>
</feed>

This is the same as:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<atom:feed xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
    <!-- … -->
    <atom:entry>
        <atom:link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.example.com/article"/>
        <!-- … -->
    </atom:entry>
</atom:feed>

But you can avoid the namespace.

Thank you @froschdesign !

I guess I forgot to mention that I export the feed in RSS format (for podcasts) and that I want multiple links. It seems I can have only one link and it exports as this:

<link>https://www.example.org</link>

Do mean Apple Podcasts? It is based on RSS 2.0 and only one link element is allowed here.

Do you have concrete use case for more than one link? Is there a reader or player that understands multiple links?

That is why I asked for the link with the atom prefix. It should allow more than one.

I want to use it internally to pass on locations where the podcast can be found / subscribed to (podcast portals and aggregators).
