RSS 2.0 for pMachine

Posted by: Lynda In: pMachine

This is a very simple hack that will allow you to output your index.xml into RSS 2.0 instead of .91.

All you have to do is download this file and replace the rss.cp.php with the same file in your pmachine directory cp/rss.cp.php

Please note that according to Rick this hack will become obsolete in pMachine version 2.3 as that version will have MANY more options allowing you to create one or many RSS feeds.

If you just can't wait that long (like me) then this hack is for you.

I don't think RSS feeds are available with the free version of pMachine, so you might want to check that out.

Er, um, can I raise my hand and play the village idiot here for a moment? If RSS feeds aren't provided with pMachine, that's a not-too-difficult set of mysql queries to put together. I had to write something similar to take data from my database and transform it into a viable RSS feed, so I've probably got some code that could be reused.

If this is true, and RSS feeds really aren't made available as part of the free version of pMachine, color me dumbfounded and leave a comment here. As tinkering with the code I wrote will require a modicum of experience with PHP and mySQL, please make sure you have at least a base familiarity with both before you volunteer.

I have no clue whether it's provided or not. I think it is probably provided, but the xml parser is not. I am not at all farmiliar with the free version of pMachine.

The problem is the RSS feed provided with pMachine is version .91. I am simply providing an easy way to use RSS 2.0.

This is also to note that future versions of pMachine will have the ability to create your own RSS feeds, so at that time, this hack will be obsolete.
