I'm running Drupal 4.5. I'm trying to generate RSS feeds using the url syntax that is mentioned on this site:

If I try navigating to:
http://www.gonzotravel.net/?q=taxonomy/feed/or/9,10,17

I just get a 404 Page not Found error.

Any ideas what is wrong?

If memory serves, I think you need taxonomy_browser module enabled to use that. It's not a standard feature of Drupal.

nope - no need for taxonomy browser. the url syntax for taxo feeds changed in 4.5. i forget the new syntax, actually.

This is an example feed from the Drupal site:
http://drupal.org/taxonomy/term/17/1/feed

So, everything up to "term" is standard. The first number is the ID of the term (in this case the "General" forum). The second number is the depth, for use in hierarchical vocabularies. Specifying "1" means it will return all items with a term that is below the General term (i.e. all the forums it contains).

Depth is only necessary for hierarchical terms, otherwise it can be left at 0.

To select multiple terms (term A "or" term B), do it like this:
http://drupal.org/taxonomy/term/2+23/0/feed

To select items that have all terms (term A "and" term B), do it like this:
http://drupal.org/taxonomy/term/2,23/0/feed

Is this documented anywhere?!? The easier way to do this is to select the taxonomy terms then scroll all the way to the bottom and look for the XML icon. I notice that the + sign gets changed to a space, and then gets escaped, but still seems to work.

That works. Thanks a bunch for the answer.

As I read this, I can't help but wonder when the depth is going to make a difference.

The '+' sign changing into a space might be a small (harmless) glitch.
