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?
