FeedBurner Drupal 6.x-1.0 Beta
21 August 2008 - 8:10pm — Dave Reid
The 6.x-1.0 beta2 version of the FeedBurner Drupal module is now available, bringing the last few major features I wanted to get in, mainly the email subscription and feed count blocks. My primary focuses for the module are now: Views module feed integration, back-porting the module to 5.x, documentation, and testing. Please give the new version of the module a try and report any bugs! I think I'm also going to try and get my module reviewed by the wonderful chx and Morbus of Drupal Tough Love.
I will have to be closely monitoring the status of the Feedburner to Google Feedburner transition. As of now, the module still works just fine if you have your feeds served by Google. You just need to change the MyBrand domain in the module settings to 'feedproxy.google.com.'
And of course if you like the module, please donate to my laptop fund or review it on drupalmodules.com.
Great module!
This is perfect, as I was just asking my users to change their links to the appropriate feedburner feed.
One thing I'd like to see in a module (maybe this one) is to have relative links converted to absolute. I've just noticed that feedburner breaks a ton of my internal links when reading the feed @ feedburner. It works fine if it's pulled into Google Reader, but not online at the actual feedburner link.
I'm not sure exactly where this could be implemented, but seemed to fit with FeedBurner, as that's where I'm getting the issue.
I'd highly recommend the Pathologic module, which filters internal URLs and converts them to absolute URLs. Maybe I'll add something to the README.txt that recommends that module.
Oooooh, that's good information..... Just what I was looking for...
So many freaking modules, and so little space in my memory banks!
Thanks for the info... I've got your module set up and it looks like it works perfectly, great job...
Looks like you're using the ShareThis module? that one is mine!
Hi Dave,
great work! I wonder if you will publish a stable version of the Feedburner module for Drupal 5? That would be truly appreciated :)

Kai,
Unfortunately I do not use Drupal 5 for any websites or projects, so I have no motivation to continue or backport my modules to Drupal 5. If someone is willing to sponsor my time (since all my module development is on my free time), that would be motivation. :)
Also, there are a lot of architectural changes and problems that I'm able to solve using the Drupal 6 APIs that just will not be possible with Drupal 5. If anything, I'm thinking about just a simple FeedBurner 'lite' module for the Drupal 5 version if it happens.
FeedBurner is awesome. I love it on Drupal.
Hi Dave,
On FeedBurner E-mail Subscribe' block, it says Only feeds with the email subscription feature verified can be selected. but how or where do I VERIFY these my feed?
Thanks
Andrew
I tried hard- thrice to use feedburner module but failed to go through. I think it needs good computer understanding before we configure this module. I struck up on URLs of blogs which were shown in BLOCKS...were NOT PRESENT.
Moreover- I was unable to delete those blogs which were producing wrong URL.s.
Last...feedburner generates the URL in // form which was main culprit and I could not correct it.
Thanks for checking the module's issue queue first. I wasn't able to duplicate this problem until very recently, and now it has been fixed in the 6.x-1.x-dev version of the module. Please see http://drupal.org/node/374257.
I am a big fan of the feed burner on Drupal. I just wanted to add my 2 cents! :)
Hi again, Dave!
I fully understand your priorities. I only running a few sites still on 5, so it makes no sense to me to pay for the development unfortunately.
I truly appreciate your contribution and your effort to the community by the work you do! Keep it up :)
Kai
