Making RSS Feed

Templates and document types
Hello,

Need a little help with RSS Feed making work.

I am trying to make my own xslt following RSS Feed xslt example in Waren's CWS 2.1, also I made my own xslt by Umbraco xslt RSS example,
but to no success.

I have document type say "NewsItem" under "News" list type document.

I made a clean template (RSSLvat) (no Master template), inserted a RSS Macro with RSS xslt.
I did not create document type.

When I call template directly from master template:
```
.. 
<a href="/rsslvat.aspx" title="RSS Feed for <umbraco:Item field='siteName' recursive='true' runat='server'></umbraco:Item>">
                                RSS Feed
                            </a>
..
```
All I get is a 404 page.

What should I do? How to make this RSS work. Any examples?

Thank you,

Marius.

You need to create the page "rsslvat" in your website's root within umbraco. Therefore you need to create a document type that is allowed to use your template.

Generally i wouldn't recommend linking to your rss feed using a hyperlink. Go for something like this in the head of your pages:
```
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="http://www.yourdomain.com/rsslvat.aspx" />
```
Cheers,

Thanks for reply,

I have a template this:

<%@ Master Language="C#" MasterPageFile="/umbraco/masterpages/default.master" AutoEventWireup="true" %>
<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolderDefault" runat="server">
<umbraco:Macro rssNoItems="10" rssTitle="RSS News" rssDescription="LVAT News" Alias="RSS_Lvat" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro></asp:Content>
</asp:Content>

When I load a page

I get server response:

             Parser Error Message: Only Content controls are allowed directly in a content page that contains Content controls.

What's wrong here...?

Oh sorry, figured it out </asp:Content> twice.

Must be too tired today.

Thanks, now I've got working feeds.
