Generate an RSS feed based on block content

The CMS Questions

Hey yall,

I’m trying to get an RSS feed to work for my blog. Nothing unusual I’d imagine. I’m using the kirby3-feed plugin. The only issue is: I’m using Blocks to layout and store the content.

That results in RSS which looks like this

…This is a heading
"},"id":"32ecb215-f90a-49bb-8930-b0c94371529e","isHidden":false,"type":"text"},{"content":{"text":"more text …

which is obviously not my desired outcome …

Now, I’m not too well versed in PHP, but I think the code I wrote would permanently modify the pages.

            function renderText($page)  {
				$text = $page->text();
				$html = $text->toBlocks();

				// Overwrite $page->text() with $html
				$page->update(["text"->$html]);

				return $page;
            }
            // using a closure allows for better performance on a cache hit
            return feed(fn() => page('neuigkeiten')->children()->listed()->flip()->limit(10)->map('renderText'), $options);

So now I’m wondering: I can’t be the first person with this goal, right? What would be the proper way to do this?

Thanks!

I’d replace the snippet (kirby3-feed/snippets/feed/rss.php at master · bnomei/kirby3-feed · GitHub), that is, make a copy of it in /site/snippets/ and replace this line

      <description><![CDATA[<?= $item->{$textfield}()->kirbytext() ?>]]></description>

with

<description><![CDATA[<?= $item->{$textfield}()->toBlocks() ?>]]></description>
