anybody have an idea as to how to do this? adding rss to the event module would be a good thing, yes?

Ideally, once everything is a node (yes, that is kind of a goal), *anything* will be able to be syndicated as RSS.

Don't know what the status of events is.

one trick would be to create a taxonomy vocabularly exclusive to the events nodes with just one term. make the term selection mandatory so that the term is always used. or, if you are already using a taxonomy vocabulary with just the events nodes, then it'll be easy to build a taxonomy url which covers them all as long as term selection is mandatory.

untested

$sql = "SELECT * FROM node n INNER JOIN event e ON n.nid = e.nid ORDER BY n.nid DESC";
$result = db_query_range($sql, 0, 15);
node_feed($result);

For now, you'll have to paste this into a separate file and link to it directly. I'll have a look at the event code and see about adding it to CVS. Would still need to add the "location" field into the feed.

You can test it here: http://drupal-cvs.bmannconsulting.com/event-feed.php

(remember to add include("includes/common.inc") at the top)

I'm trying to syndicate the events field

Within Drupal I went to Content creation > page

<?php
$sql = "SELECT * FROM node n INNER JOIN event e ON n.nid = e.nid ORDER BY n.nid DESC";
$result = db_query_range($sql, 0, 15);
print node_feed($result);
?>

When I see the newly created page, I get the following error.

==
XML Parsing Error: xml processing instruction not at start of external entity
Location: http://www.somedomain.net/drupal/node/18
Line Number 96, Column 26:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
==

I tried include the common.inc file and it complained of double declaration.

Any ideas?

This post was 2 years old when you got to it. Basically you would want to create a category term or even an entire taxonomy for events and syndicate that category.

As chromatic says, you can make a vocabulary for events and get RSS feeds from that.

There is also an outstanding feature request to add this to events: http://drupal.org/node/9766 -- please add comments there.
