    • RSS Feed for a specific Tiki page?

    Posted by Zero posts: 101
    Hi folks. I haven't been able to find any info on this, but is it possible to create an RSS Feed for a specific page in Tiki? Our Tiki has a "Current Issues" page and we would like to be able to have a feed specific for it, rather than the entire Tiki. Possible? How do I do it?

    I'm no genius in this but it seems that an RSS feed must come from a page that has a formalized way of entering data in discrete chunks. What I mean is that a blog entry, calendar item or a file or image in a gallery, or an article entry can be RSS'd but a standard wiki page of text cannot. I certainly could be wrong but I've never found a way to RSS a wiki page.

    A little creativity with how you use those features may enable you to get your info out in an RSS. You might use a Blog or Articles to enter current issues, then RSS that.

    Also note that you can use an RSS feed from your site back to your site; for example, I have a file gallery for one group of folks and a page for their meeting info. I stick an RSS feed for the file gallery on the info page (all within my tiki) and it gives me the last n number of entries. The number displayed is set both in the setup for RSS and in the max argument: rssID=34 max=5 within the brackets.

    Also, if you do create a blog or article ection or whatever be sure to be in that blog when you click the RSS button (to get the feed link) so you get the right RSS.

    I don't think this is possible. However, you users could simply monitor/wach the "Current Issues" page. Not exactly the same thing, but at least folks will get notification.

    HTH,
