RSS/JSON: Add title attribute to 'link rel="alternate"'

[bttrx]

Would be more comfortable for people when subscribing.

<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://SITE/feed.xml" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/json" href="http://SITE/feed.json" />

<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://SITE/feed.xml" title="SITE NAME - Atom"/>
<link rel="alternate" type="application/json" href="http://SITE/feed.json" title="SITE NAME - JSON"/>

I think, this file needs to be changed: https://github.com/GetPublii/Publii/blob/master/app/back-end/modules/render-html/handlebars/helpers/feed-link.js

you can build a theme override and put your custom feed-link.js there:

Thanks, but that didn't work for me.

Whatever I return in feedLink() doesn't make it to the final output files. I guess, my input/themes/terminal-override/feed-link.js is never called.

As a workaround I now use a customized partials/head.hbs:

         {{socialMetaTags}}
 		{{#if @config.custom.faviconUpload}}
 	        <link rel="shortcut icon" href="{{@config.custom.faviconUpload}}" type="{{@config.custom.faviconExtension}}" />
         {{/if}}
         {{#if @pagination}}

Of course, this a little unsafe, because it assumes both feeds being generated all the time. If I may turn this option one day...

So, this is still a feature request of mine to include the title attribute into a Publii release.

Thanks, but that didn't work for me.

@bttrx Haven't tested this, but I wonder if creating a new, custom helper would do the trick?

See: https://getpublii.com/dev/how-to-create-a-custom-helper/

@candidexmedia Thanks, but my trick is enough for me until the title attribute makes it to a Publii release some day.

@bttrx - in v.0.46.4 we will add title attributes to feed tags - thank you for this suggestion!
