extract an RSS feed link from content section

Post by testest »

Hi.

i have been asked to extract an RSS feed from a website powered by CMS made simple. I have no previous experience with this CMS and as a result i am getting quite frustrated with it.

There is a "news" section located under the "content" tab. There are many articles in this section. I want to syndicate the news section as an RSS feed. Well, actually, i would be happy to syndicate ANYTHING as an RSS feed but i just cant figure out how.

I was also asked to do the same thing with Joomla. I had to manually construct a url like the following...

"http://mysite.com/index.php?option=com_ ... d&type=rss

Is there a way i can do this with CMS made simple?

I have also installed a module called Calguys Feed Maker. The first thing it says in the "help" section is "First you must create a new feed, and fill in the parameters supplied." However, it provides no information about how to do this. Secondly, when i do try to create a feed i get the following error "Fatal error: Call to undefined method CGFeedMaker::mkdirr()".

So i guess thats a no go.

Can somebody PLEEEEEASE give me a clue as to what to do?

Thanks.

I don't have any issues with CGFeedMaker. It comes with many sample feeds for several modules.. For a generic news feed, you don't even have to change anything.

"http://yoursite.com/feeds/news

If this is too generic, then edit the template for the 'news' feed to customize it.
