FeedBurner Drupal 6.x Update Status

UPDATE: I just released Drupal 6 alpha version of the module ready for testing! Go get it!

So to everyone who's been using my FeedBurner module for Drupal, I'm sorry that development has stagnated recently. I've noticed that lots of people have been wanting a Drupal 6 port of the module and have had to (sometimes unsuccessfully) resort to using .htaccess hacks.

Things should be getting better shortly. Now that I've resigned from position at HuHot (which will warrant a more personal, longer post), I should be able to better balance normal stuff with programming. I've begun porting/developing the module for Drupal 6.x and will not be working on the 5.x version of the module. Maybe at some point I'll be able to maintain two different versions, but for me right now it's a little difficult. I'll get better at it I suppose. My goal is to get a beta release of the module out by August 4th. I also hope to have a job by then too. Thanks for your support and patience.

If you want to help even more, you can donate to my replacement laptop fund (my laptop is my primary development machine and dying). Just a little plug for that.

Got it and it works great - many thanks!

Just a question - are you planning to support multi-lingual sites in the future? I need to set up different feedburner redirects for blogs in each language.

Best regards,

Jan

Problem solved

Fixed it by patching the module to check for /sl in the URL and redirecting to another Feedburner feed, so - no rush :)

Thanks again!

At this point, I'm optimistic that I can get at least an alpha release of the module out on the 4th or 5th, that will have all if not most of the functionality that the latest 5.x version had. I have to head to Omaha today and I'm hoping I can get some kind of personal code sprint in today.

The FeedBurner module made my life a little easier, so I'm glad to hear there's a Drupal 6 version in development. As thanks, I donated $10 to your laptop fund!

Thanks very much Richard!

Thanks very much Richard! Sorry about the Mollom error. I think I figured out what was going wrong and after a couple of tests looks like it's working.
