RSS feed?

Vote 0 Votes

Hi,

I am trying to pull the feed from an MT blog into the parent company's DNN site. Unfortunately DNN only allows RSS, unless you purchase another module (at least, as far as I can tell. I am not well versed in feeds!).

So I want to know, is there a simple way to get 4.2 to create an RSS feed? It appears older versions had it, but 4.2 has only Atom and RSD feed files.

Any help would be appreciated, as I am new to movable type (My first use has been creating a custom template! Very interesting...)

Thanks!
^_^

  • thanks, but the link is invalid!

    I just duplicated the atom.xml file, renamed it rss.xml and copied the rss conversion from an old version of MT, replacing the contents.

    I also had to customize a conversion from rss 2.0 back into html on the dnn site (I did end up purchasing a module for that, rss feed lite for $20) but that is another story.

    Anyway, it all went well, but you'd think it would be standard to include rss, since it's still in use quite a bit...

    Thanks, and hope this helps anyone in the same predicament!

If you need to share template code, replace all the "<" signs with "&lt;" or use this utility.
