The subject says it all. I've made some minor code patches, alterations and additions but I am not a developer; I'm just a power user who really likes Drupal. Apple and Microsoft have recently added high-profile namespace extensions. The iTunes extensions are *extemely* important to podcasters like myself. Many of my colleagues are already exploiting the added tag functionality behind iTunes 4.9 -- and its only been around for 2 days. There is already a Wordpress patch that serves up the iTunes extensions.

After searching the site here, I came across a couple of threads that hint at how to add new tags and there is a page in the documentation that sort of talks about it... but... I'm not a Drupal developer and I'm just not getting how to generically add a new family of tags based on a namespace. Ideally, a module that steps a user through the process would be good, but in the near term I'm looking for a small piece of code that can be inserted to do the job.

We'll be looking into these, and if all goes well, Drupal 4.7 should support these tags out of the box. As for Drupal 4.6, we'll try making a patch available as soon this has been implemented. Drupal has a mechanism to extend the generated feeds so it is certainly feasible. Walkah showed interest in implementing these -- you might want to check with him.

I've been pretty swamped this week, so I haven't gotten around to it, but fear not - i've got some folks pretty keen on getting it done.

The other one I'm keen to see would be Yahoo's mediaRSS as well...

Hi,
I am very curious as to how I can add the iTunes extensions to a Drupal generated RSS feed so my Podcasts dont show up as missing information in iTunes. If you know of a way to do this but just havent had the time I would be happy to do it myself if you could just point me in the right direction.

Thanks much,

Gadi

Any idea on how this is progressing? 4.7 is here, but there's nothing I've seen regarding iTunes extensions. I'm about to delve into the RSS generation code myself, but I'd rather not if someone's already come up with a solution.
