CGFeedmaker and News module

[virgo]

I can no longer create feeds from news module with CGFeedMaker. I even reset template to default and changed
{News assign='junk' detailpage=$feed.pageid}
to
{News assign='junk'}
but $items is unassigned after this.
But junk does contain news content.

I guess scopes 'issue'. Read this carefully: https://www.cmscanbesimple.org/blog/sma ... e-examples

I checked them, but none of the examples seemed to be about variables of module. Anyway, I created another News summary template, that generates RSS items and
{News summarytemplate='News_RSS'}
results in in required output.

Create a News module summary template like describer here

Call ONLY the News module in CGFeedmaker template pointing to this template.

It is a scope issue for sure; you cannot use the $items variable from the News template anywhere else than inside the News template itself.

This behavior is in the Smarty version used in CMSMS for a while now.

I think the sample template of CGFeedBack CGFeedMaker show how it should be done nowadays.

That's basically what I ended up doing. News_RSS template contains this foreach part of template.

Not in the default template. At least I don't see it.
