I am a hubpages author and I have an rss feed for my writing. They have a system of trackers, which is a piece of text you put into the middle of a single url. I would like to be able to automatically insert my tracking url into each item in the rss feed. I currently use pipes.yahoo for my rss feed manipulations. Is there an easy way to get my tracker text into each url either using pipes or by some other method? e.g. Rss feed is here: http://hubpages.com/author/earner/101ways/hot?rss Which generates links to articles, of which one is: http://hubpages.com/hub/How-To-Start-An-Ironing-Service-Make-Money-Part-Time I want to insert _moreinfos into that, so the rss produces a link that would look like: http://hubpages.com/_moreinfos/hub/How-To-Start-An-Ironing-Service-Make-Money-Part-Time Thanking you in anticipation of a simple answer Thanks
Ok, i will try to answer but i am not sure if thats what you are looking for. If you want to incorporate the Rss of your hubpages into a hub then you can try converting the link to XML first using feedity.com and then using the generated link to add on the RSS module! As i said, i am not sure if this is what you are looking for but if you can rephrase maybe i will contribute again
Hi, thanks. Hmm... not sure I understand your answer We're a right pair aren't we. I'll pop off and look at feedity. OK, I will try to reword it. I have some hubs and can generate an rss feed from them. But the rss feed it generates links to the articles directly. I want to insert a tracker into the rss feed, so that if anybody clicks on a link from the feed, then the tracker lets me know. With hubpages the tracker part is in the middle of the url, so I would need to: - get the rss feed - get it to split right after the .com/ part, then insert the tracker text, then rejoin the end piece back on. I've tried to write pseudo code below - this should then create a "new rss feed" which I would use on my hubs. I am not sure I described that properly still. Pseudo Code: For each url in the rss feed Get url Split it in two, after the .com/ Add in text I define Concatenate the original first part, tracker, original last part
Hey, I don't know if you ever found an answer to this or not, but you can use Yahoo Pipes to fix affiliate codes in RSS feed, even in the middle of them. I wrote a quick guide at http://hubpages.com/hub/How-to-Add-Your-Tracker-to-your-Hubpages-RSS-Feed Hope that helps
