rss plugin + google reader

[David Prieto]

Binary package hint: epiphany-browser

I recently switched from Liferea to Google Reader as my default RSS reader. I was wondering if it would be possible to add an option to the RSS plugin to have Google Reader as an option to add feeds to, maybe asking you your username and password or retrieving it from the passwords stored by Epiphany if you're already logged in.

Google even offers a way to do this from the Bookmarks; you just have to add a bookmark pointing to:

javascript:var%20b=document.body;if(b&&!document.xmlVersion){void(z=document.createElement('script'));void(z.src='http://www.google.com/reader/ui/subscribe-bookmarklet.js');void(b.appendChild(z));}else{location='http://www.google.com/reader/view/feed/'+encodeURIComponent(location.href)}

...and click on the bookmark when you are visiting the desired page. Surely it would not be very hard to port this functionality to the RSS plugin.

Thanks for your report, which version of Ubuntu and Epiphany are you using?

[David Prieto (frandavid100-gmail)]

I'm using Ephy 2.21 in Ubuntu Hardy. But no version of Ephy has offered this (to my knowledge).

to be forwarded upstream to bugzilla.gnome.org by someone interested on the feature.

Can you pelase forward this upstream to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/, David, since you requested this? Thanks.

This issue was reported in bugzilla some time ago and is still occuring under latest release included in Ubuntu Lucid.

GNOME removed support for extensions + Google Reader has dissappeared. So...
