Overview

Reptile needs a mechannism for publishing FULL articles into the network in a distribued manner. The article should support RSS style functionality as well as the ability to view the full text of the article such as in Kuro5hin or InfoAnarchy


RSS 1.0 content module

There is an official RSS 1.0 module for this named mod_content.

Reptile will handle this for the weblog form. Users should be able to specify the article abstract and then the article contents. The abstract should become the RSS 1.0 'description' element. The contents of the article will then be published under mod_content.


Meta Update modifications

All RSS 1.0 XHTML content will be added to the ARTICLE table as a CONTENT column. If an article has mod_content we will update the ARTICLE table. When Reptile encounters an ARTICLE with mod_content inline, we will view it WITHIN reptile instead of linking to the site.


Advantages

This publication system has a number of advantages:

  1. All RSS 1.0 applications (non-Reptile) are still supported.
  2. We can support sites that syndicate their OWN content with mod_content.
  3. We can syndicate articles to other sites with mod_content.
  4. Content is seemlessly cached as article meta data.
