How do I turn news articles into an RSS feed?

Hello Hilary,

Hope I didn't miss understand your question. To setup a RSS export you only need to access your eZ Publish siteadmin interface.

Go to: <b>Setup -> RSS -> New export</b>

Fill out information about your RSS feed. Pay specially notice to the <i>“Site URL”</i> parameter that will be used for all links in your RSS export. Also pay notice to that you need to click the <i>“set”</i> button after changing class that you want to export before the <i>Title</i> and <i>Description</i> drop-down box updates.

By default <i>Anonymous Users</i> don't have access to read RSS feeds. You will need to update the policy for the <i>Anonymous role</i> to access the module <i>“RSS”</i> and function <i>“feed”</i>

Here is an example that shows how we been exporting the Article class in our sub-folder News:

Hope this could help you answering your question Hilary.

I guess you use the websiteinterface or ezflow, in that case login to your front page and click site settings to change the rss url among other things.

Hi

Changing the rss feed in the site settings is great for one rss feed. But what about when you have several of them (as the ez.no site does). Is it necessary to edit/override link.tpl or is there another way?
