In case you use clean urls and the autodiscoverylink function doesn't work for you:

in News.module.php in function ContentPostRender

change from:

Code: Select all

if (($config['assume_mod_rewrite'] == true || $config['internal_pretty_urls'] == true) && $config['use_hierarchy'] == true)
{
	if ($config['assume_mod_rewrite'] == true)
			$url = $config['root_url'].'/News/rss/'.rawurlencode($categories);
	else
			$url = $config['root_url'].'/index.php/News/rss/'.rawurlencode($categories);
}

to this:

Code: Select all

if (($config['assume_mod_rewrite'] == true || $config['internal_pretty_urls'] == true) && $config['use_hierarchy'] == true)
{
	if ($config['assume_mod_rewrite'] == true && $config['page_extension'] != null)
			$url = $config['root_url'].'/News/rss/'.rawurlencode($categories).$config['page_extension'];
	else
			$url = $config['root_url'].'/index.php/News/rss/'.rawurlencode($categories);
}

Tested on:
CMS Made Simple 1.0.5 "Molokai"
News module 2.2

with config.php options:

Code: Select all

$config['assume_mod_rewrite'] = true;
$config['page_extension'] = '.htm';
$config['internal_pretty_urls'] = false; // works with $config['internal_pretty_urls'] = true; too
$config['use_hierarchy'] = true;

Write here if you find bug or it doesn't work in some situations.
Cheers.

If you need your {news category="Hardware" makerssbutton="true"} to produce a category dependent rss link:

in action.default.php of the news module:
change the appropriate code to: //sorry i don't have the original, i modified it heavely

Code: Select all

if (isset($params["makerssbutton"]))
{
	$params["showtemplate"] = "false";
	if (isset($params["category"]) && $params["category"] != '')
	{
	echo $this->CreateLink($id, 'rss', $returnid, "rss syndication", $params,'',false,false,'',true,'news/rss/'.$params["category"]);
	return;	
	}
	else
	{
	echo $this->CreateLink($id, 'rss', $returnid, "<img border=\"0\" src=\"images/cms/xml_rss.gif\" alt=\"RSS Newsfeed\" />", $params,'',false,false,'',true,'news/rss');
	return;
	}
}

As seen, you can change the image or make it display text indeed. It can be extended with the $lang() too.
Cheers. CMSMS is the best.
