[farcry-dev] Re: Fill me in on RSS and XML export

[Mkruger]

Thanks for the info on the "export" function...

 

Regarding RSS - does anyone have any information on how that feature is supposed to work?  I'm expecting it to generate RSS standard XML - which it does - but the XML generated describes the task I created - I want it to describe content as it's entered. An RSS feed should be related to the content of the site.

Export generates an xml file containing the types' data. I'm not familiar RSS, but I'm pretty sure the generated XML doesn't have the right format.

First, when I went to create a feed and "view" it I got an error because the Oracle DB did not have the column "status" in the dmXMExport table.  I added "status" and set default to "approved" - maybe Beth can tell me if I fixed or introduced a bug :)

Secondly, I created a new feed called "medical services" with a file of "mservices.xml".  I assigned a type of dmHTML to it with an update frequency of 1 and max items of 25.  I added the "Medical services" cateogry to the feed. What I expected to happen was for it to generate an RSS feed for my medical services page. What I got instead was this:

http://lgh.cfwebtools.com/xml/mservices.xml

Which is a description of the task.... Can someone fill me in? Is there a way to generate an RSS feed based on content?

Next - I tried the "Export" function. I picked "dmHTML" (again) and entered a file name and clicked on "export". I got an error:

D:/websites/lghcms/lgh/www/xml directory doesn't exist. Please create before trying to export.

What's the purpose of the export tool?  Is it to export settings? content?

Any information would be helpful. This is a great list by the way - ovewhelmingly helpful :)
