How to allow users to subscribe to a content type via rss

Posted by Elehas on July 30, 2010 at 1:41pm

I have a news content type which is the only thing I want to allow users to subscribe to.

First off, how do you set up the rss to allow them to subscribe.

Secondly, can you restrict it to only a certain content type - News?

Views is the answer. Create

Views is the answer. Create a view that limits it's output to the content type you want (news); you can create a bunch of different display types -- pages, blocks, etc. One of the options there is a feed. You'll set your own url for the feed and you're done!

Nice! I didn't even think of checking for a feed field. Which is stupid because RSS comes default with drupal.

thanks man!

Thanks for the tip, been looking for an answer for a while. The Aggregator book page didn't help as much as I thought it would http://drupal.org/documentation/modules/aggregator

1) For row style for a "feed" view display type it says "plugin missing", I have to select "node" for row style.
2) For some reason, I cannot add any fields to any "feed" views. This can't be right, what's causing this?
