Hi Steve,
This should add the RSS meta link. It would probably be better to create a
module to do this as you want to be able to change theme and not worry about
having to copy this stuff accross to your new theme.
Add this to the top of Layout.cshtml in Contoso/Views
@{
RegisterLink(new LinkEntry {Type = "application/rss+xml", Rel =
"alternate", Href = Url.Content("~/rss?containerid=162")});
}
Layout is used by all pages on your site, so this should inject the rss link
into all pages on your site.
If you want an RSS link to be displayed in the pages you could just add an
HTML Widget in the Orchard admin Widget section. You'd need to upload an RSS
image to use in the Orchard Media section.
I hope that helps.
I did create my theme, but with illustration help from my friend at
http://www.hexjibber.com
Cheers,
