I tried getting this all working and am using http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/automagic-rss-feed-generator-plugin on my build of CakePHP 1.1.
My only issue, is I don't understand how to find out the hash for the user that is given in the URL. For instance, in a URL like http://myapp.com/my_controller/my_rss/user_hash how can I only get the user_hash from the URL to compare to my hash in the user table? Any help is super appreciated because I am just spinning my wheels at tthis point. I know I am soooo close to!
