With the example url (http://myapp.com/my_controller/my_rss/user_hash)
you should create a controller like this:
<?php
class MyController extends AppController {
$name = 'MyController';
$uses = array('MyModel');
$components = array('MyRssComponent');
function my_rss($user_hash = null)
{
if(!$user_hash)
{
$this->set('data', 'No UserHash defined');
}
else
{
$data = $this->MyModel->findAll(array('user_hash' =>
$user_hash));
$this->set('data', $data);
}
}
}
All you have to have now is a view which transforms the $data array to
a RSS feed.
