Just found K2 and I love it! Wow what a great tool! Was wondering if anyone out there had done any podcasting to iTunes using K2? Was thinking just need to make sure that the right tags were added and it should work fine but wondering if anyone had any thoughts or examples?

Interesting idea. I believe you need to write out the podcasts to an xml file. How would that be done?

Well I was thinking there is an rss feed created so if you could just add the necessary tags for itunes and point itunes to the feed it seems like it would work?

So how do you add the necessary tags for iTunes?

How can you add tags into K2's RSS feed?

I never had the time to put into figuring this out and as there wasn't much discussion, no one seemed to be that interested either... I use a separate podcast suite to generate the rss feed which means I end up having to create a blog post and a podcast post for every podcast that I want to upload but it only takes an extra minute to do.

I am in the process of working on something similar, although in my case it's going to be an mrss feed. Looking at the view code in /components/com_k2/views/itemlist/view.feed.php, looks to me like a good basis for doing something customized.

I hired Joseph Kwan This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to do a custom solution. He created a new feed in K2 that adds in all the necessary iTunes tags. I just submitted it to the iTunes store and they accepted it!

Hey Joseph is that feed code something you can share, or perhaps we could purchase? I have k2 working as a podcast solution on the website, but need a modified feed to feed into iTunes.

 

Thanks,James Friesen

+1 for this!
