Make an auto updating RSS feed from news module? [solved]

[VincentD]

Is this possible? I've tried every RSS related module available with no luck. I hear that CGFeedMaker works well for that, but I can't figure out how to set it up. If someone could help me with this I would appreciate it.

If you look into the module, probably in Help or from what I here in the admin of the module there is supposed to be a sample news module template for it...

I've never used it but here it is dead easy...

[VincentD]

Still can't seem to get it right. I did everything the help said, and my feed link is being generated as an empty page.

I would say CGFeedmaker....

Yeah I'm using that. If you check out my previous post, you'll see the error.

Hi VincentD

Can you give us some more information about this?

Your System Information,
Used templates,
etc.

And CGFeedmaker needs pretty urls with hierachy set true.

Regards, Rolf

[VincentD]

Aye, there's my problem. How do I set up pretty urls?

Nevermind, figured it out.

Excuse my double post.

Now I have another problem. The feed is up and working, but it's getting the feed information from the news module. The thing is, I want it to grab the information from the blogs module, but I do not know how to do this.

Anyone?

[Dr.CSS]

The template you use may have calls for the News module in it, look thru it for any and replace with the blog call/name...

Or the tag you use calls it, I've never used it so look thru the whole thing for instances of News being called...

[VincentD]

I've done that... Maybe not good enough. I'll post it here, maybe someone else will want to look it over.

Code: Select all

    {* an example of how to create a feed from a call to the news module *}
    {* you can use any smarty variable that is available in the news summary template *}
    {* you can substitute this logic with output from any module that supports a summary
       view, or possibly get artistic and mix output from different modules *}
    {news assign='junk'}

EDIT: Ah ha! Finally figured out what that means. Where it says {news assign='junk'}, I just replaced that with {Blogs}, and presto!
