How do providers, categories, feeds and entries correlate?
|
||
|
|
And authors on top of that?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Authors are simple: each entry is linked to one author, even if the
|
||
|
|
author is the same the objects differ. We can change this in the future,
|
||
|
|
right now there is no need to do that.
|
||
|
|
The other objects are a bit more difficult.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
DXS: provider -> category -> feed/list -> entries
|
||
|
|
GHNS: provider -> feed [with categories] -> entries
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Example
|
||
|
|
-------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The maintainer of an application offers extensions in the categories
|
||
|
|
"image" and "script". Since the application has a lot of users, both
|
||
|
|
kde-coolextensions.org and kde-betterextensions.org offer such extensions.
|
||
|
|
The provider.xml file would thus contain the two <provider>s. When fetching
|
||
|
|
the feed files for most popular/most downloaded/most recent, those files
|
||
|
|
need to contain entries of *all* categories! A workaround is to add virtual
|
||
|
|
providers for each category (there won't be much difference in the UI), but
|
||
|
|
ideally with frameworks such as Hotstuff the right number of items will be
|
||
|
|
inserted into the feed.
|
||
|
|
With DXS, the problem doesn't exist since DXS fetches all categories first
|
||
|
|
and then the feeds for each category. DXS also allows to retrieve all entries
|
||
|
|
of a certain category, so it is much more flexible in general.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
GHNS setup:
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
provider kde-coolextensions.org
|
||
|
|
feed most-recent
|
||
|
|
entry a [category image]
|
||
|
|
entry b [category script]
|
||
|
|
...
|
||
|
|
feed most-downloaded
|
||
|
|
...
|
||
|
|
provider kde-betterextensions.org
|
||
|
|
...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Alternative GHNS setup:
|
||
|
|
-----------------------
|
||
|
|
provider kde-coolextensions.org/image
|
||
|
|
feed most-recent
|
||
|
|
entry a [image]
|
||
|
|
entry c [image]
|
||
|
|
..
|
||
|
|
..
|
||
|
|
provider kde-coolextensions.org/script
|
||
|
|
...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
DXS setup:
|
||
|
|
----------
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
category image
|
||
|
|
feed most-recent
|
||
|
|
entry a [image]
|
||
|
|
entry c [image]
|
||
|
|
