Re: [Hypercontent-users] News/RSS

[Alex V. <av...@co...>]

Hi Carl,
	I actually just set up an RSS feed for the JA-SIG home page, which is 
being moved to HyperContent (it's not live yet).  I set it up to use a 
navigation template to build a list of the 5 most recent news stories

<nav-template sortchildren="by-date" childsortorder="descending" 
maxchildren="5" >
	<nav-template pattern="/news/*.xml" />
</nav-template>

The XSL to produce the RSS is pretty simple, and I'm happy to share 
that if you'd like, although it's a little unique in this case because 
a news item on the JA-SIG site may actually point off-site, so the XML 
source is probably different than what you're working with.  I just 
used the metadata title, description and date fields to populate each 
item, and use the title and description of the navigation file for the 
channel itself.

Let me know if you want to see more, I could zip up the JA-SIG home 
page project so you can have a look at how its set up.

Cheers,
	Alex
