Hi, thanks for providing the RSS Aggregate Module in the first place ;-).
I attached a sample configuration of custom news aggregation (our other use
case).
As for required steps to syndicate <any-content-here> as RSS, the current steps
required are:
1) Implement a SyndFeedGenerator by extending the SyndFeedGenerator base class,
that maps it to a list of feed entries. A typical usecase obviously, would be
to query and map content nodes to feed entries. To achieve this in a simple
fashion, have a look at the MagnoliaTemplate and ContentMapper.
2) Implement a SyndFeedGeneratorFactory for your Generator that will create a
configured Generator instance based on given request parameters. (See remark R1)
3) Map a logical name of a generator to a SyndFeedGeneratorFactory that is
capable of constructing that generator.
Mappings are registered with the SyndFeedGeneratorResolver; The registration of
this mapping currently happens in the ProduceFeed.jsp, but as you suggest there
will be more elegant ways. (See R2)
4) Make a request (in this case on the JSP) with the appropriate parameters on
which the Generator to use can be resolved to see the feed syndication work
R1: Typically I think creating a new instance of your generator won't require
any parameters. In the case of the RSSModuleFeedGenerator however, the path to
the blog aggregate definition in the JCR was required. This was the reason for
introduce factories for Generator construction.
R2: Ideally (as you mentioned) the mappings in the SyndFeedGeneratorResolver
are done by means of configuration in the admin interface.
I hope this confirms/clarifies the perspective on the patch where needed. If
not, let me know.

> Project: Magnolia RSS Aggregator Module
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.0
> Reporter: Rob van der Linden Vooren
> Assignee: Jan Haderka
> Attachments: customgenerator.zip, MGNLRSSAGG-10_for_rev22223.patch,
> MGNLRSSAGG-10_for_rev22223_v2.patch
>
>
> We encountered a use case of needing to syndicate other content than just the
> aggregate feeds defined in the RSS Module.
> As such, I rewrote the FeedGenerator class and the ProduceFeed.jsp to enable
> us to syndicate any content in the Magnolia repository easily.
> Please have a look at the patch and let me know what you think.
