Question about article on creating RSS Feed
|

| Stefan -
I'm looking to create an RSS compatible template with MCMS. Basically, it
would already be a template that the author can enter their "article", it is
submitted through the workflow, approved, and then sent out. This would take
a customized workflow right? But do the templates have this capability? We
plan to use Oracle portal to create portlets that can grab these XML pages
once they are approved (I understand there needs to be an ASP.NET script
involved as well). Basically, what I am asking is, do the templates have the
capability to hold RSS format with information that can be entered in from
the author to go through the workflow?
Thanks,
Heather

| Hi Heather,
no idea what you mean by "RSS compatible template".
RSS does not make use of templates.
Cheers,
Stefan

| Hi,
Maybe Heather was talking about having a set of placeholders that are used
to populate the elements of the RSS feed?
Regards

| Hi Angus,
you mean a kind of selective aggregator?
Or an aggregator that can be configured using placeholder controls?
Interesting approach....
Could be build based on the placeholder control I developed (link below).
Cheers,
Stefan.

| Hi Stefan,
Wasn't really what I was talking about but that sounds pretty cool...
although wouldn't you do it with Channel Custom properties?
- so you could say "What under this channel gets aggregated?"->"Set the
custom properties of the channel"
May do some further investigation when I get a client that can realise the
potential of RSS 
Regards

| Hi Angus,
if you would like to separate by different postings, maybe.
But you could also have exactly one aggregator control on one posting and
configure it for the whole site in a specific way.
And a different posting is configured in a different way. So different views
of the same site.
Cheers,
Stefan.

I mean, can the XML that generates the feed (i.e. title, link,
description) be placed in an XML placeholder in a template so that the author
can input their article into that template and it is automaticall an RSS site?

| Hi Heather,
actually the feed is dynamic. Storing it in an XmlPlaceholder would kill
this concept.
In addition the feed needs to be emitted on a page level - not on a
placeholder level to ensure that aggregators can read it.
So the answer is no.
Cheers,
Stefan.

So actually, once that feed is implemented into the RSS (according to your
article)- it is there for good? All the author has to do is use the
templates, and it would automatically become and RSS page once it goes
through the workflow and is approved? OR should a custom workflow be created
where the moderator can choose to have it approved to be an RSS page?

| Hi Heather,
RSS page is a wrong term.
The RSS feed will automatically list the new MCMS page in the feed for the
timeframe you decide.
Cheers,
Stefan.

Should that timeframe be built into the template by the developer?

| Hi Heather,
usually it is either hard coded in the feed code or configurable for the
whole feed.
Cheers,
Stefan.
