hi
i wrote my own teaser-list for my custom modules content-type
because for some reasons i dont want to list the node-teasers by taxonomy terms
i want to list them by content-type
i also dont want to use the views.module
so. it would be a great help for me if you could tell me if the following code is the right thing to generate a list of nodes

<?php
function _blog_teaserlist() {
	$output = '';
// get a paged list of nodes of specific content-type
	$result = pager_query(db_rewrite_sql(
			"SELECT nid FROM {node} WHERE status = 1 AND type = 'blog' ORDER BY sticky DESC, changed DESC"
		),variable_get('blog_teaser_maxdisp', 5));
	 while ($nodeid = db_fetch_object($result)){
		// load node data
		$node = node_load($nodeid->nid);
		// add themed teaser
		$output .= theme('node', $node, true, false);
	 }
	return $output;
}
?>

if this is a valid way to generate a list of nodes in teaser view how can i create a rss feed out of it
i tried node_feed() but it doesent seem to generate valid feed urls
do i have to preprae something beforehand

thanx for any help

I'd say there are some readability problems, but that's totally up to you.

One thing you might want to do is:

    return $output . theme('pager', NULL, variable_get('blog_teaser_maxdisp', 5));

Sorry, I don't RSS so I can't answer that part.

I've never done this, but I quick search of the code and I found format_rss_channel, see events and views modules for examples of its usage.

thanx for your reply
i use now node_feed which is calling format_rss_channel
here is my solution which works for me

<?php
function _blog_feed() { 
  $result = db_query_range(db_rewrite_sql("SELECT nid, created FROM {node} WHERE status = 1 AND type = 'blog' ORDER BY sticky DESC, changed DESC"), 0, variable_get('feed_default_items', 10)); 
  $channel['title'] = variable_get('site_name', 'Drupal') .' Blog'; 
  $channel['link'] = url('blog', NULL, NULL, TRUE); 
  $channel['description'] = $term->description; 
  node_feed($result, $channel); 
}
?>

<?php
function blog_menu($may_cache) {
  $items = array();
  if (!$may_cache) {
    $items[] = array(
      'path' => 'blog/feed', 
      'title' => t('Blog RSS Feed'),
      'callback' => '_blog_feed',
      'type' => MENU_CUSTOM_MENU,
      'access' => user_access('access content')
    );
  }

  return $items;
}
?>
