Hi

I wanted to create my own RSS-Feed. It is actually based on the DMX RSS-Feed, but with some additional data (also within the description tag).
I am not sure so far what would be the most elegant solution:
- Create a module with a control
- Create a simple page (I am not sure if I anyhow need a module, not much of a DNN-expert)

And furthermore:
- Is there an api from DMX already delivering the RSS-Feed? Or what Api should I use best?
- Is there a way to tweak the link in the document administration which leads to the RSS-Page (in order to lead it to my own page)?

Thx 4 tips

Hi Oliver,

DMX includes its own feed using DMXRss.aspx. You can tune it on the rss settings page on the admin menu. Check out the RSS help file on the help menu as well.

Hi Peter

I know about these settings, but they still won't let me have the feed in the shape I need. So I am still stuck with my initial questions from the first post.

Thx

If it is the *shape* that is the issue, then why not simply run it through your own XSLT to change that?

It is not entirely the shape, I also need to add some missing data.

Well, I ended up with a real simple solution. I load the DMX-Rss feed with the Syndication-Api (from .Net), from there I can change/adapt it as I want. A simple snippet for loading: 

private SyndicationFeed _LoadDmxRssFeed(string inputUri)
        {
            using (var xmlFeed = XmlReader.Create(inputUri))
            {
                return SyndicationFeed.Load(xmlFeed);
            }
        }


... where inputUri points to the DMX-Rss feed. Cheers.
