Autodiscovery Feedburner RSS for your Drupal Site

I have just started playing with feedberner over the past couple of days and am amazed at how great the interface is and detailed the mextric is. I am not even using the pro account yet… but will probably upgrade by the end of the day :-) If you are blogging check out feedburner.

If you have a drupal site and want feedburner to be you main
RSS feed then just edit the node.module in your modules folder changing

I came up with a different patch, which I'm using at macmegasite.com & worldbeatplanet.com.

In node.module, change the following lines in node_page()


    case 'feed':
      node_feed();
      return;

to:

    case 'feed':
      header("Location: http://feeds.feedburner.com/your_feed_url");
      return;
	case 'something_random':
      node_feed();
      return;

I use some random value for the selector which calls node_feed and specify that in feedburner as the URL for my feed. Now feedburner will be the only one that subscribes to the actual feed - everyone else who subscribes to node/feed will get the feedburner feed.

Later I changed it to a REDIRECT PERMANENT in my .htaccess to avoid the extra processing overhead.
