Refining Podcast feeds

Dear Thomas,

SermonCast put all sermons in a single feed regardless of their series. I want Podcast feeds of for particular series. How may I do that?

Thank you.

For each individual feed you want to create, you need to create a menu item (may be hidden). In that menu item you can specify a category filter so your feed only contains sermons from that category.

In the SermonCast module, you can then set the created menu item, so the link points to the correct feed.

A feed for a particular series isn't possible yet (only by category), but I could certainly add such a filter if you need that. It shouldn't be hard to do.

Dear Thomas,

That will be great. I am looking forward to it.

Big thank you.

Ken

You should see a SermonSpeaker update which includes the possibility to filter the feed by series and/or speaker.

Dear Thomas,

Thank you for your indication but I could not figure out how to put your code to action. In the end I made up my solution by inserting this code fragment at models/feed.php. Then I specify the series I want in the URL. FYI.

// Category filter
.....
.....

if (($type == "sermons" ) && ($seriesId = $jinput->get('seriesid', $params->get('series_id', 0), 'int')))
{
$query->where($type . '.series_id = ' . (int) $seriesId);
}

// Define null and now dates

If you have the latest SermonSpeaker component, check the menuitem for the feed. There is a tab "Filter Options" and there you have now a parameter which lets you select a series:
