RSS Component

Hi there

Has anyone developed an rss component in LS 3? We've just upgraded and this is top of our list of priorities, but, having followed the steps outlined in the documentation, I'm still struggling ...

Thanks in advance ...

don't you just need to create the correctly formed XML in your appearance XSL and create a page with page type RSS and put that component on that page?

Thanks for the response, I'd just assumed that I'd need to jump through more hoops to get this working.

As it turns out, I've just tried dumping some sample XML into my component and am now faced with the following

com.interwoven.livesite.common.xml.ValidationError mColumn[6] mLine[3] mSystemID[null] mPublicID[null] mType[FATAL] mMessage[The processing instruction target matching "[xX][mM][lL]" is not allowed.]

I think this is because the xml declaration must be the first item that appears, but I'm unable to get the component to preview by moving the declaration.

Any ideas? I can supply my comp code if that helps.

Take a look at ABC news component, it has a skin called RSS and ATOM.

To create an RSS feed sample:

1. Create a new page
2. Set new page type to RSS (or ATOM)
3. Add ABC News component
4. Set component skin to RSS (or ATOM)

Voila.

If you add more than one component with RSS skin it will aggregate the RSS feed.

Thanks for the pointer Alex - I'll have a play around with the ABC news component
