Re: Alternative Routing for RSS
The request handler can help out a great deal with that kind of thing.
if ( $this-RequestHandler-isRss() ) {
$this-Auth-allow('index');
}
You can use the same if to make the rss version of an action return
only the last 10 items or only items from the last week or whatever
else you may have set slightly differently in your rss controller.
My fuzzy point about parsing extensions is still valid I think. In the
router you are setting up an url that doesn't use an extension
(presses/rss). But in the view folder you are placing the view in the
rss folder (i.e. setting up for parse extensions). Nothing states that
any rss feed must use views\presses\rss\ as the folder... that is
just a folder that parse extensions use to help you have two views for
the same action. the folder-name relates to the extension... not
really the type of view you are rendering so you don't have to use it
at all in this case. Or just use /presses.rss as the url and you are
done?

Martin,
Thanks for the pointer. I did previously try the way you pointed out
but it gave me the same error. Which kind of confused me even more. I
understand your side note and the concept. The reason I am using
rss_feed action instead of index.rss is because in my controller, the
index is a authentication restricted whereas the RSS feed is a public
access. Maybe I need to rethink my approach.
Thanks Eddie for the link. I took a quick look and it looks similar to
what I was doing. I'll check it in greater detail shortly.
Appreciate both your inputs.

Re: Alternative Routing for RSS
Martin,
I tend to agree with you that the rss folder is basically to have two
views of the same name but different types.
Like you said, since I'm only catering one view with the rss_feed
action, it isn't all that important to have it in the rss folder.
However if I move the view file one level up. It breaks. It will say:
Undefined variable: rss [APP\views\presses\rss_feed.ctp
And the code in question is:
$this-set('items', $rss-items($presses, 'rss_transform'));
Anyhow using rss_feed.rss (with rss extension) in the url works fine.
I can live with that. I was simply curious to know if I could do it
without specifying the rss extension. http://www.example.com/rss_feed
instead of http://www.example.com/rss_feed.rss. base on the fact that
in my Route file I have already specify the 'ext'='rss'. Apparently
it didn't work for me.
