RSS Feeds

sunilkumar - October 26, 2008 - 15:59

I installed Drupal 6.0 along with few modules.
Now I am getting RSS feeds for the front page. But I need feeds for blogs,books and all other contents.
Why it is disabled?

Install the Views module and create your own RSS feeds. View this handbook page for more info: http://drupal.org/node/83597

Why it is disabled?

It's not disabled. It's just not there. It's not there because there are possibly infinite variations of feeds admins may want.

You can use the "Views" module to construct various lists of nodes, which you can then expose as feeds. (See the "search downloads" box on this page.)

There's also Nancy's "Get Content Type" module, which is a more lightweight/easy solution.

Or search the downloads for similar modules.

Sorry, I tried Get Content Type

I tried Nancy's module. Unfortunately no success. May be my lack of understanding. Can anybody suggest similar other modules.

I am newbie and dont know programming. Hence this simple question.

This link http://drupal.org/node/83597 not saying anything about Drupal 6.6 and I found VIEWS module little difficult for a person like me.

I tried Nancy's module. Unfortunately no success.

After installing this module you'll be able to go to:

http://example.com/node/type/book or
http://example.com/node/type/story

...and see a list of the corresponding nodes.

By appending "/feed" to the URL, you get an RSS feed. Example:

http://example.com/node/type/story/feed.

(Of course, replace "example.com" with the domain of your site.)

Thank You very much

Great. BTW, that module has the ability to list more than one type of node: You need to separate the types by commas. Example:

http://example.com/node/type/story,news

Thanks Again mooffie I will

Thanks Again mooffie

I will make a combined feed using commas.

Nice.

Well...

I actually use plus signs, but I think any separator will work. I just got though adding some more new features today - check the documentation page.

Oh, and thank you, Mooffie, for the plug.

Correction:

Indeed, I was wrong: only '+' works as the separator. A comma won't work.

Thanks

Thanks mooffie and Nancy. I works fine now.
