I have updated the Umbraco RSS package with new functionality.
Niels originally developed the RSS extension to umbraco with the help from the Raccoom rss generator. It was later nicely "packed" into an umbraco package by Per from netMedia.dk so it is easy to install into umbraco.
Following things are updated
- You can choose a publish date field, that way you are not forced to use the updated date on a page. This could be quite annoying when you have to correct a typo etc.
- You can choose an author, so it is not the user that has updated the page.
- When you save/update a RSS setting in umbraco, the RSS file are updated/created immediately, no need to create a test page, just to see if it work like you want to.
- Small update to the UI (webservice stuff)
- The source is a nicely Visual Studio 2003 class library, this way you can easily have a look at the code or change it into your needs. No need for setting up a virtual directory etc.
Installing
Download the Umbraco RSS Package
Install the package (Go to 'Developer' section. Right click on 'Macros' -> choose 'Import Package').
Upgrading
Download the Umbraco RSS Package
Unzip the package and upload tree files "/bin/umbracoRss.dll", "/bin/umbracoRss.pdb" and "/umbraco/plugins/rss/editRss.aspx".

Update june 07th, 2006
