In your lastAcquired.tt file, try changing i.TITLE and i.AUTHOR to
i.title and i.author.

Thank you, Tim.
I was just messing around and found I was also able to place the file into
koha/opac/htdocs and access it with a URL like this: http://
mycatalog.com/lastAcquired.xml. That is fantastic. A dedicated RSS directory
like you created would probably be better.
However, the XML file that was created by rss.pl and lastAcquired.tt appears to be "malformed" and
the book titles are all missing (I didn't alter the template; the titles should be included). I imagine this
is the reason Jonathan stated that the files should be removed from the codebase. The titles all came out
empty like this: "<title>, by </title>"
Having had a look at the output, it looks like it wouldn't be difficult to
adapt the existing files or come up with our own solution for building an XML
that contains the fields we need. Thanks again for your help!

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [Koha] Where to place RSS xml output?
EXT email: be mindful of links/attachments.
I tried this about a year ago. The only way I found to get it to work (on a
test server) was to create new directory (I named it rss) in koha/opac/htdocs
and access it with http://mycatalog.com/rss/file.xml.

Good evening,
I've been reviewing the sample templates and configuration files for custom
RSS. On my system, these are installed here:
/usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs/rss. I'm stuck on where to place the XML that is
produced in order to make the output accessible/subscribable via the OPAC.
I've tried placing the XML files into koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac and into
koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac/rss. Then, I tried accessing the files (with
permissions set to 755) using the following guesses at URL scheme:
http://mycatalog.com/cgi-bin/koha/lastAcquired.xml (results in a blank
page that has only the words "not found" in the upper left)
http://mycatalog.com/cgi-bin/koha/rss/lastAcquired.xml (results in 500
internal server error) http://mycatalog.com/lastAcquired.xml (results
in an Error 404 in the OPAC, "Sorry, the requested page is not
available")
I'm sure the issue is a matter of ignorance on my part as to what the best and acceptable
locations are for placing "local" files. I apologize for that, but please know
I invested a couple hours before asking. Thanks in advance if anyone has tips as to
where to place the files, and then, how to access them.
