First, it's definitely the newest script version. Also the searches I tried matched just two pages most of the time. The one I posted above _should_ match around 20 or 25 at most. But read on...
Lesson 1: One important information for the solutions page is that RSS might not work with MAMP or the like on your localhost. The same code that gives at least some RSS output on my server ends with an internal server error when used with MAMP offline. As Dan pointed out, some tools might be missing. Lesson 2: Even when action=rsslist shows exactly what you want to feed, it is no guarantee that these pages will display in your RSS reader. Dan, if interested you can check out the following page with the login I gave you: rss.listOKfeedNotOK (rsslist OK, feed broken) Lesson 3: I might not notice when the page RSS was not saved correctly. I edit the page and save it. I get redirected to view the RSS page which is automatically opened in my feed reader. Since the RSS page is not displayed in the browser, the browser still displays the edit page from before. Any further edits using the "old" edit form won't be saved. Better remember which edit tabs you already used... Lesson 4: It seems to be a misbelief that you can just put a search together that matches the pages you want to see in your feed, then change the function name to "rssfeed" and everything works. For example feeding all pages with a certain keyword does not seem to work. Dan, you can check: rss.keyword Some problems I reported might have been caused by my naive approach to start with some simple matching like this. From reading the solutions page I expected that "rssfeed" can be used with all the parameters of "search". Lesson 5: When using a page named "rss" (and not some lower hierarchy like rss.whatever), the following line is put into the edit field: http://www.domain.com/field/index.php?p=rss I think you won't see this when you use for example rss.blog. It would be a non-issue if the solutions page did not specifically say that you can use "rss" as the page name. :) Great, most of the issues with RSS seem to be solved, or at least identified. Is it possible to feed changed pages? Currently if I put a page into my feed, it won't display as new in my feed reader when updated. I have a similar page to BoltWire.com's download page, where I post updates. But since I don't create a new page for each update, I wonder how this can be reflected in the feed. Thanks for reading!
