I'm hoping to change the RSS feed link/title for my Audio feeds to some other name. Currently it's just called 'Audio', but I'm not sure where in the Views module (I'm assuming that's were it's edited) to change the name.

I have the 'Audio' and associated modules installed to create a nice block that displays the latest uploads and the standard RSS feed button. On mouse-over this feed button simply says 'Audio' and likewise using Itunes to link to this feed, the feed is simply called 'Audio' in Itunes. How do I change this link name?

I'm assuming that the solution is in the 'Views' module menu somewhere, but I don't know which option to change. In Views, I've found the 'feed' for the Audio Block, but how do I tweak views to change the RSS feed title?

without going into much research I would think you need to go to .........../admin/build/block

That is where you should be able to configure your blocks in terms of title, access positioning.

I hope it helps ....

Thanks for your thoughts tryitonce, but that menu does not allow me to change the name of the RSS feed. I can change the Block Title, but the actual feed title has no option for changing in that place.

try this -

....../admin/content/aggregator/list -

click on edit and that should give you

....../admin/content/aggregator/edit/feed/1 - (1 = feed 1 - 2,3, ....).

Well, I set up my feeds ages ago. Sorry for this quick shot earlier ....

It appears that the Audio module does not use the Aggregator module. Instead it uses Audio Feeds module, which somehow came with the whole Audio package. There is no settings menu for Audio Feeds.

At present I don't have the Aggregator module active (yet RSS feeds work for audio). I switched it on just to see.....went to the Aggregator settings in admin, and found that nothing was listed there. I switched Aggregator off again.

Sorry, again - I just gave a very general answer about feeds and overlooked your Audio feed requirements.

It is porbably best to take this query to the Audio module - and first to search there to see if this came up previously.
It might be in the tpl files or some other files in the module.

All the best ....

Thanks for your efforts tryitonce - at least we're a little closer to an answer by eliminating things that don't work, so I thank you for your thoughts.

I'll have more of a look around (have done quite a bit already) and post here again if I find a solution.

I still need some assistance with this problem please. I have also put a support request on the Audio Module page - http://drupal.org/node/678340

I still have no solution for this problem. Is there someone out there who will have mercy on my ignorance, pity even, for my lack of knowledge.

I left some instructions for you to try here.

Thank you so much HorsePunchKid. You're my hero of the month. I lost a lot of sleep over this one.

For those with the same problem, HorsePunchKid gave these instructions:

1. Go to admin/build/views and edit the view called "audio".
2. In the vertical tabs on the left, you'll see Defaults, Page, Block, and Feed. Click "Feed".
3. Under "Basic settings", you'll see "Title: Audio". Click "Audio" to change the title.
4. A panel will open up below where you want to click "Override", then enter the title that you want your feed to have.
5. Click "Update" to save the title, then "Save" to save the view, then go to audio/feed and verify that the feed has the title you entered.

It worked perfectly.
