Re: Make future articles appear in RSS feeds?
Hi Jeff,
Would this work if I’m hand-rolling an RSS feed using a page template?
Cheers,

Re: Make future articles appear in RSS feeds?
In theory I think you could do that. It’d be somewhat messy. You would need to also add right at the very beginning of the page (for an RSS feed):
<txp:php>header("Content-Type: application/rss+xml; charset=utf-8"); header("Connection: close");</txp:php>That’s because before Textpattern sends the page, it sends the html content type, which would be wrong for a feed.
I haven’t tried that myself, though, so I’m not sure if that’d work correctly.

Sure, I’ve done this, I just wondered if I was using a template whether it would bypass rss.php. I guess I’ll just have to try it and see! Thanks!

No, it wouldn’t; it will have to be at it’s own url.

Yes, of course it would have to be at it’s own URL, so it wouldn’t use rss.php would it?

Re: Make future articles appear in RSS feeds?
I’m not sure what you’re asking/stating. We might both be saying the same thing, so I’ll just quickly elaborate.
Say you created your event “feed” by making a new section named events-feed. When events-feed is loaded up, it would display as your custom-made feed, assuming all goes well. In that instance, yes, the built-in feed engine wouldn’t try and interfere.
(It would only do so if you actually tried to invoke it by loading events-feed?rss=1, for example).

Yes, it sounds like were talking about the same thing after all! That confirmed it anyway…
