Hilary Boyce	Wednesday 02 January 2008 7:52:29 am I want to let visitors to a site subscribe to an RSS feed for the press releases. I have looked at the RSS page in setup, documentation on this site and books I have but am totally confused as to how to set this up. Please can someone point me in the right direction, Unfortunately I am a newbie when it comes to RSS. TIA
Egil Fujikawa Nes	Wednesday 02 January 2008 5:48:16 pm 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: http://www.webdealhosting.com/rss/feed/webdeal-news Hope this could help you answering your question Hilary.

Hilary Boyce	Friday 04 January 2008 2:26:37 am Thank you Egil, your reply was a big help and I have now managed to create a news feed, which I can access if I put the url directly into the address bar. However this rss feed is not being picked up by the link.tpl and turned into a link. Instead I am getting a reference to a dummy rss feed that was already set up called my_feed. I have deleted this on the setup > rss but it is still (despite clearing caches several times!) showing in the links: <link rel="Alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="/eng/rss/feed/my_feed" /> <link rel="Alternate" href="/eng/layout/set/print/rss/feed/my_feed" media="print" title="Printable version" /> How do I lose the 'my_feed' and have my news one shown instead? ( I am working with version 4)

Hilary Boyce	Wednesday 06 February 2008 2:31:50 am 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?
