Hi Mikael,

You can do this by adding following code to the head tag of your page :

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Umbraco News " href="/NewsRss.aspx" />

You can more "links" to different RSS feeds.

Hi There

A link in the head of the document does this, along the lines of

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS 2.0" href="/path/to/rssTemplate.aspx" />

Then you just need a template to produce an rss feed from your xml.

Can't remember where I got this xslt (prob from the excellent CWS), but here's a xsl sheet to do something like this

Template (macro insert code) (v3 embed code, will work with small mod for v3)

<?UMBRACO_MACRO macroAlias="XSLTRSSFeed" RSSNoItems="[#RSSNoItems]" RSSTitle="[#RSSTitle]" SiteURL="[#SiteURL]" RSSDescription="[#RSSDescription]"></?UMBRACO_MACRO>

You'll need to change the nodeTypeAlias's that you're searching for in the file below, but it's a good start!

Also should mention the macro params for this

RSSNoItems - number
RSSTitle - text
RSSDescription - textmultiline
SiteURL - text

Good luck!

Thanks to both of you.

i already have my own user control to generate the XML for the feed, because the selection of nodes / pages is not as straight forward as the sample XSLT that comes with umbraco. So with your info on how to put the link in the page i should be all set.
