Reasons why I dont use the XOOPS rss feed.

1. sometimes it doesnt add articles.
2. Bandwidth.
3. Some articles you would want in your feed.


these are the reasons I use an XML file and Feedburner.

1. Feedburner give you a banner like the one in my sig and it updates when your feed updates :)
2. Readers use feedburners bandwidth not mines (apart from the logo of course). But you dont have loads of calls to your feed on your server.
3. You can add articles from anywhere on your site that are relevant to what people want to read and not just any old post.

So if anyone wants to do the same then click on the article below:

I got into the same trouble but I found the solution.

First, use RSSFit then, open the plugin called rssfit.news.php, located at the plugins folder inside the module directory (usually "http://www.yoursite.com/module/rss/plugins). After that, search the line 66 in the file and change this text:

getmoduleoption

to this:

news_getmoduleoption

And voila, you've got a working RRS feed for your news 1.53 module.

And don't forget to add this to your theme.html at the header tag:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/rss/rss.php" />

Learn all this took me the whole morning...
