Using RSS Feeds: internal feeds
An RSS feed is a summary of a Website's news, files, and other activities that it distributes or syndicates to other Websites and individual users. RSS is an acronym for Really Simple Syndication. Indeed, RSS files are a nearly painless way to syndicate news and articles from one site to many. For instance, RSS files can be used to gather Slashdot news and Freshmeat releases, and display them on your Tiki.
Tiki is remarkably flexible when it comes to RSS. It can both display external RSS feeds from other sites in user modules and elsewhere and syndicate its activities (blogs, articles, forums, etc.) to other Websites via RSS.
The configuration of incoming RSS feeds is explained in RssModulesDoc. In this document, we'll describe the outgoing RSS feed (data Tiki provides for others to include into their site).
Available feeds
Tiki has RSS feeds for
Usage
You can find the feeds at the bottom bar (if it is switched on in admin menu):
Another example of an rss feed: http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/xml/rss.xml.
Output is XML data in one of the following formats:
- RDF Site Summary (RSS) 1.0 (fixed for Tiki 1.7.1)
- RDF Site Summary (RSS) 2.0 (introduced with Tiki 1.8)
- RSS 2.0 with attached stylesheet for display in browsers (introduced with Tiki 1.8)
Configuration
You can configure availability and ouput in Admin (Click!) / RSS.
- Switch a single feed on/off
- Set number of entries for each feed
- Language tag for RDF output (eg en-us, de-de ...)
- Publisher (RDF 1.0 only)
- Creator (RDF 1.0 only)
- Editor (RDF 2.0 only)
- Webmaster (RDF 2.0 only)
Examples
http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-wiki_rss.php results in default RDF 2.0 output .
http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-wiki_rss.php?ver=1 results in RDF 1.0 output.
http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-wiki_rss.php?ver=2&css=y results in RDF 2.0 output with attached stylesheet for better display in browsers, should not be used with other RDF parsers.
Security
Currently users only can access RSS feed output, if the data are visible for group 'anonymous'. Example: if you want to access RSS feed for articles, administrator of the site must have set articles viewable to anonymous. There is no possibility to provide a username and/or password for access secured RSS feeds. This is a RFE, see RssFeedDev.
