Settings variable "BLOG_URL" is only used in index.xml
Opened this issue · 3 comments
Somehow the variable "BLOG_URL" is not being used anymore except in the index.xml and I'm not sure it's even neede there nor am I sure that it's being properly used.
@orf can you take a quick look at it?
I think its needed, there has to be a way for flask to know the base URL of your app. I don't really use Flask so I don't know though.
It's in fact a problem, because we allow/encourage users to put in "/blog" or "/" as the BLOG_URL variable and as far as i can tell, this variable is put in the rss xml directly as a link to the blog. Which is only true if you actually click on the link from that domain. if you're in google reader or another rss reader it'll just fail. On your blog specifically, you must have literally put in "http://yourdomain.tld" to make your RSS not be broken. can you confirm this? I'll fix it tomorrow.
this is more in depth than expected...
