Hi,
For the rss issues, it seems like there are a number of things going on so I'm going to have to come back to it. In the meantime, you might be able to change some of the paths to your liking by setting manual url aliases rather than relying on pathauto.
> Changing edition meta tags won't effect it.
If you are viewing a channel page, then you're not viewing an edition node per se and this may be why. However, I cannot say for sure because I need to know what sort of url is being viewed so I can diagnose properly.
> A. Is it possible to filter the channel names per user, like certain roles can post in certain channels only.
> B. Is it possible to let the user to create their own Channel and/or Edition
Sorry, presently, both A and B are not possible. Implementing such a feature would require significant changes to ProsePoint and, hence, there are no plans to do so anytime soon.

Hi,
Thanks for pointing this out.
Yes I have heard of Pressflow before, although I haven't looked at it deep enough to determine whether it's ready for use in production sites. Maybe some advanced users can try using it with ProsePoint by substituting Drupal core with Pressflow.

I downloaded to Pressflow to see what is inside.. it also got a profile for installation. I don't how that would work with Prosepoint's own profile. I wonder if this could be good idea to replace Prosepoint's core with Pressflow since it's all Drupal
-Meta tags! --
the website link (sending in private). please see the top menu links, they are the channels with single Editon and using subblocks to show the stories. I just do not see a way to change the page titles or any other meta.
-- Update ~ 04/21
I feel like crying now..the display is messed up after creating few new content types and renaming the 'story' type to 'story300' It suddenly started showing
1. the story titles in a different font
2. all the channel links the story belongs to
3. a link below teaser 'Login or register to post comments'.
I never had these in teaser or full view. It is also not showing the __________ line between stories. Trying hard to fix but no clue how to. Surprising part is that one channel that doesn't use by sub-blocks, got the font color correct. You could see that in /technology and /sports page

Ouch. Sorry, but changes like that usually take several iterations of a development process to get right. You are making some fundamental modifications, after all.
You need to keep backups, or be willing to throw changes (that do not work) away.
Best to try to undo all your changes if you can.

Some lessions learned - yes I
Some lessions learned - yes I took at 10 days backup and inserted all the new stories since yesterday. one by one.
Now I kept the content type story untouched and created two new content types. posted stories in them, in the story_view allowed the new content type to show on in the frontend. They do showup but in different fonts and other problems I said before..
This seems really a problem in the system, Please have a look the url (sent just now from the contact page). You could be the same page is showing stories in different fonts; those got small fonts and extra fields like 'in channel name' are the new content types.
I really would appreciate if you could guide fixing this - we need different content types as each having different word limits. (let me know if admin uid/pass would help..)
Edit -
Or atleast say a hack, that any content type starts with the word 'story' could take the 'story' composite layout. ex, story100, story300, storyabc.

It's likely to be a case of themeing, or lack thereof, for the other content types you have created ie. your new content types haven't been styled using templates and/or css and are displayed using defaults which perhaps don't look very nice.

I think this will require some customisation or at least, some discussion of requirements to make sure of a solution that suits your circumstances. Problem is ... this is open-ended, and probably outside the scope of this community forum.
If you really need this feature, please consider commissioning us to do it for you.

Thanks for your help and the
Thanks for your help and the offer. However this one turned out to be an Australian yummy cookie!
Just duplicated node template files with new story type names and whoa it fixed the top part of the display. There is still a little problem with subtitle font but guess that's ok for now.
Still have problem in displaying meta tags for single edition subblock display pages.
Hi
I put the rss patch, it fixed the private path problem. However there are several things you might like to fix.
1. rss link tag shows like channel/1/stories, that is a bad looking url. It should take the menu or channel url, if pathauto is not there than domain/channel/1 and if pathauto is there, it should be domain/news.xml or domain/rss/news, similarly domain/rss/technology. News, Technology are the channel names = top menu names.
For a test, I manually added pathauto path /rss/topstories for the 'News' channel = the first menu, It did change the News page feed url to domain/rss/topstories but in the rss xml, <link> still shows that url /channel/0/stories
2. I really do not like <category domain> urls in that xml is showing raw taxonomy paths, they should have taken the pathauto paths, these taxonomies are nothing but the channel urls, are the top menu links.
3. The description field in the rss is screwed, It shows whole lot of junk things, the 'fulltext' thing but there are more....< div style... these are not entered by the story author but someting from the template. Please see any big news sites rss. It's clean texts and may be some image tags but no htmls in desc. whatsoever.
___________
Meta tags. Ok, I'd PM you the site url.
Basically on the channel page it shows like Technology News | Site name, I have a single editon but showing the contents with sub zones blocks. Changing edition meta tags won't effect it.
___________
New question!
A. Is it possible to filter the channel names per user, like certain roles can post in certain channels only.
B. Is it possible to let the user to create their own Channel and/or Edition under certain parent, for example. if we could allow the users to create their own magazine by creating a Channel and/or Edition so that they can manage their own magazine only. Searching around I got something called Organive groups! yeah.. around that..
