I would like to include a rss feed icon at the bottom of my block views.
I've set this up before for page views, but it doesn't appear to be working as I would have expected for block views.
I found this issue:
Is there still a way to expose rss feeds for block views?
Thanks

yoroy commentedWorkaround: Why not enable 'as page' as well for your block views. Then use the RSS-feed url this page generates and add it to your Block footer.

ArgentOfChange commentedSorry for butting in.
So there's no alternative except to create pages? It just seems too clumsy a solution - if it can be enabled for Pages, why not Blocks?
I know I'm whingeing, but I have so many block views it's not even funny, and I really don't need all those extra pages.
:(

merlinofchaos commentedYou can't have an RSS view without a page -- where would the RSS feed link to if there isn't a URL? It's not clumsy, it's a requirement. Unless you want RSS feeds out of nowhere. In which case I can't help you.

ArgentOfChange commentedI didn't mean to offend. Just frustrated at the lack of newbie-friendly documentation on RSS that explains these requirements.

merlinofchaos commentedSorry, I'm not offended; that's more sarcastic than I actually intended it to be. It was supposed to just be funny.

mfbI've got a view with only a feed -- but using Views 2.
I don't see why every RSS feed should be attached to a page, although I'm sure most are.
Comment #7
merlinofchaos commentedActually in Views 2, you can easily create an RSS display and attach it to a block display and everything is happy. But that's Views 2, and Views 1 can't operate that way.
Views 1 is actually hamstrung by a rigidness in the design; that's why this issue even exists.
