{FORREST_HOME}/main/webapp/resources/stylesheets/rss2document.xsl
I always overwrite this and customize it in the app I am working on by placing
it in
{my_app_home}/src/skins/{my_skin}/xslt/html/
then
{my_app_home}/src/resources/stylesheets/all-feeds.xsl pulls the data:
<xml><xsl:stylesheet>{params}{vars}
<xsl:template><rss><channel>
<xsl:for-each select="">
<item></item>
</xsl:for-each>
</channel></rss></xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet>
I hope that helps.
One thing to try as well: use this as a template to generate a Google Base xml
file to bulk submit content. Regular rss does not contain the required xml
tags and nesting for this. One of these days I'll make a forrest component for
generating all rss, googlebase, google sitemap, yahoo/msn sitemap. we need an
automated submission engine too. I'm working on this.
