RSS Feeds

Posted September 29th, 2007 by designhuone

Hi!

I'm interested in publishing some kind of "What's new?" page on my webshop, telling a bit more about what's going on in there. So it would be nice to include an RSS feed to that page. Are RSS feeds possible in wosbee, if so how can i do it?

I have RSS feed in one of my shops that I run.

Upload the RSS file within FileManager.
Add the following line between the <head> & </head> lines to point to the RSS file...

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS feed name" href="Location Of RSS File" />

Most browsers will detect that code and add the RSS button to download the feed somewhere (FireFox adds it to the end of the address bar).

You can also add a link within your page;
<a type="application/rss+xml" href="feed.rss" target="_blankrss">
<img alt="" src="/images/rss16x16.png" border="0" align="absbottom" width="16px" height="16px">
<font color="#000000" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">
<b>Results via RSS</b></font></a>

href="/feed.rss" *** Where the RSS feed is located
src="/images/rss16x16.png" *** Where the RSS icon is stored
<b>Results via RSS</b> *** The text to display

The only issue is that you can't edit the RSS file directly, but I use a tool to edit it as it's a lot quicker
