fix: #3622960 Enable the podcasts RSS feed and clear the news wording from the view

Rajab Natshahrequested to merge
issue/varbase_podcasts_base-3622960:3622960-podcasts-view-rss into 1.0.x

Fixes the podcasts view in config/views.view.podcasts.yml.

Issue: https://www.drupal.org/project/varbase_podcasts_base/issues/3622960

What this changes

  1. The rss feed display is enabled. It declared path: podcasts/feed but shipped enabled: false, so no route was registered and /podcasts/feed returned 404. RSS is how podcasts are distributed, and both README.md and CHANGELOG.md already document the feed as one of the view's displays.
  2. Four user-visible strings move from news wording to podcast wording — the empty text, the visually hidden listing heading (announced by screen readers), the feed channel description and the featured block description.
  3. An orphaned Better Exposed Filters block is dropped — field_news_categories_target_id, configuring a filter removed because the podcast bundle has no such field.

All three came from the news view this one was adapted from.

Verification

Tested on a standalone Varbase site with the recipe applied, Varbase Starter and no site template:

  • Before: /podcasts/feed returned 404.
  • After: 200 with 15 items, valid RSS 2.0, channel description reads "our latest podcast episodes".
  • Block displays unaffected: all 12 rows, latest 3, featured 2.
  • Zero occurrences of "news" remain in the file; YAML valid.

Diff is 5 insertions and 22 deletions in one file.

Evidence

Before — /podcasts/feed returns 404, because the rss display ships disabled and registers no route:

The Drupal page-not-found page at the podcasts feed path, with an HTTP 404 status.

After — the same path serves valid RSS 2.0 with 15 items. The channel title is Podcasts and the description reads "our latest podcast episodes", where the shipped file said "news posts":

The podcasts RSS feed rendering as XML, showing the Podcasts channel title, the corrected description and episode items.

Follow-up, not in this MR

A functional test asserting /podcasts/feed returns 200 with at least one item, so a disabled display cannot regress unnoticed. The suite in #3622806 does not cover the feed.
