RSS2NG

17 July 2008

A simple Automator application, based on AppleScript, that passes-off the RSS feeds from Camino to NewsGator Online.

To Install

Install this Automator application in your Application folder
Open Camino, go on Camino>Preferences>General>Default Feed Viewer and choose RSS2NG.
In Camino, when the RSS feed icon shows in the address bar – click on it and choose “Subscribe to” – you will be redirect to your NewsGator Online page for login.
Click in the “Search” box at the bottom of the left column, ⌘v (paste) in the link that has been automatically saved by this script, and when discovered – you will be faced with 2 tabs which represent two ways of subscribing (if available):

Articles Tab will display a Newgator “Subscribe to this search” link logo, click on this to subsribe. (Note: this will show “Your Current URL Search List:” – the feed you just added will probably not at this point be seen in the side bar, but you are subscribed – it is seen next time you go to the NewsGator page);
Feeds Tab may display a feed “+ ADD” box (some feeds do not) – Simply click on the link to add feed.

As a result of previous feedback, to open RSS2NG in a new tab – set this in Camino > Preferences > Tabs:

This is based on RSS2BL by Jeby

Note: This has been tested with Camino 1.5.4 but does not work at present with 1.6a1.
