News: Feature request: Show/Edit feed url

[flurischt]

If I get an error message that a feed failed to refresh for more than n times I'd like to check the feed url by hand. It would be very useful if I could get the url of the rss feed from the ui. One option could be to link it in the "..." menu or another option could be to add a "change feed url" link.

Currently I export the opml and search for the feed url there or I have to open an old post, go the the website, search for the feed there and then check what could be wrong.

I'm happy to contribute such a feature if this has any chance of going upstream.

I'd be happy to accept a pull request for such a feature.

Given your use-case, the first solution (link to it from the ... menu) is the way to go. Making it an editable option imho introduces a lot of extra complexity for little gain (how often does a feed actually change url? and is it really so often that delete-old/create-new is too much to do?). Making the feed url editable is too much.

Do you agree, and can you cook up a pull request to have the feed url linked from the ... menu?

Thanks for you reply! I agree. A link to the feed url in the ... menu would be sufficient.

I'm occupied with uni/work until mid August but after that I'll work on this. Will update the ticket when there's something to show.
