Hi Michael,

I want to rewritte the url display with SPWP and I know that I can do it with post processing but I have no idea how to do that.

The aim is to rewritte url like that :

http://www.domaine2.com/url to http://www.domaine1.com/goto/domaine2.com/url

So that I can track the number of clics back!

Thanks for your kind help

Hey Michael!
Thanks for your time, it works great. I use it to display my latest forum posts.
Thanks for you time!
But it won’t work with multifeed ha? Pity
Thanks, Marin

Hey, thanks for the reply.
It’s a multifeed . I had had this problems before, with displaying latest forum posts (vbulletin rss) with other metods (not Simplepie). I still don’t understand the core of this problem. Isn’t there a published date assigned to each rss? Does this change in process or it just doesn’t care?

Hi Marin,

It should be possible, using SPWP’s post processing feature, to alter the date. It would cause a problem though with merged feeds. If only one feed’s date is altered, the items won’t seem to be sorted correctly since the feeds are sorted before the date is altered. But for a single feed, that wouldn’t be a problem. Is this a single feed situation or multifeed? What feed has the bad date?

Either way, I’ll work on the SPWP method and post an update to this article asap.
