Well, seems I'm here again...
In the rss-template I need to put link elements that refer to the html
versions. They need to be absolute links (as far as I can see, otherwise it
doesn't work). I output them through $rq->getUrlHost() . $ro->gen('Nieuws'); Is
there an option to generate an absolute url?
Apparently agavi automatically assumes I want the rss version (I'm guessing it
detects the current output type?) and appends /rss. Is it possible to specify
that this is not the rss-version but the default (html) version? Something
like: $ro->gen('Nieuws-rss')?
Koen
P.S.: When I get this all sorted out I'd be willing to write it all up for the
cookbook as an extended example or other. Or maybe add something similar to the
default app?
