FeedBurner Category Feeds Plugin

FeedBurner Category Feeds Plugin allows users to redirect each category feed to his own FeedBurner feed. Unlike other plugins that redirect all the feeds to the main feed, this Wordpress plugin allows you to have a feedburner feed for each category or subcategory.

FeedBurner Category Feeds Plugin does not create FeedBuner rss feeds, you will have to do that manually and they must be in the following format: YourMainFeed_categoryslag. For example, if your main feed is called MyFeed and you have a category called Web Design where the slag is web_design, you should call your category feed MyFeed_web_design.

Installation is simple, just copy the feedburner_cat_feed folder to your Wordpress plugins folder and activate it in your Plugins Management tab.

How to use the plugin. Copy the following line of code, change the parameters and paste it anywhere you want the feed links to appear, but remember to put the PHP comand before and after I can’t put them here because wordpress will streap them off, this is the function:

efb_catfeed($feed_name = ”, $main_image = ”, $image = ”, $before = ”, $after = ”, $separator = ”, $and = false );

Feed Name: here you put the name of your main feed, not the full url to feedburner, just the name of your main feed. example http://feeds.feedburner.com/YourFeedName; YourFeedName is what you put in the first parameter.

Main Image: the name of the main image file, example; rss.png,which is the main image by default.

Image: the name of the image for the category feeds, example rss.gif. (you can use any images you want, just drop them in the feedburner_cat_feed folder and enter the name in the parameter).

Before: is anything you want to preceed each category link, commonly this would be used to define each category as a line item in a list, or to define CSS, but could also be brackets or other symbols.
After: would typically be used to close a tag that was opened with “Before”

Separator: is the text you want to separate the category links, most commonly a comma and space, or a vertical bar.

And: defines if you want the word “and” followed by a space to separate the last two items, generally used if you are listing the categories in a sentence format. Set to “true” if you wish to use otherwise leave blank.

Experiment with it and you are free to change it in any way you want.
