I am using umbraco 4.7 .. and I have two doc types News Area and News item.. using newslist.xslt to show news.
I want to generate rss feed of this news node ... I just insttaled ur package and saw the link as news/RssFeed.aspx but it shows ..... No description available for this feed ...... what else I have to do?
The "No description available for this feed" message is the default description when nothing else is specified. To set this description yourself, make a property with alias "rssDescription" of type Textbox Multiple on your "news" node. Anything you set in that property will then be put in the description element of the RSS feed.
I'm back again, after upgrading my site to 4.7.1.1 (clean install, including nForum etc) I've reinstalled EyeCatch RSS 1.2 and the feeds aren't showing up again.
I've (in the last half hour) managed to get it working. The problem was the "documentTypeAlias" in the template was set wrong. I had to make it set to documentTypeAlias="" then it gets all nodes.
Now the only trouble is it's listing (news) date folders in the whole site RSS feed:
thanks for the work, and no worries with the delay. I've uninstalled version 1.2 and installed version 2.0 on my internal development server. However it doesn't appear to work. IE comes up with the error "Feed format not supported". When I view the Properties in the Developer - Macro section of Umbraco, the popup window has the following error trace:
Rss feed not showing

Do you have an url for your test site?
yes.. I have the url....
http://u1test.dadabhagwan.org.peppermint.arvixe.com/news/
http://u1test.dadabhagwan.org.peppermint.arvixe.com/news/RSSFeed.aspx
Works fine to me.

Hi, I'm having a problem getting my feed to show as well.
My test site is at http://diva.penninedata.com/news.aspx
and so I would expect the news RSS to be at http://diva.penninedata.com/news/rssfeed.aspx
however it doesn't display the child nodes of news.aspx...?
I've installed the latest v1.2 package.
cheers
Rory
Sorry for late reply.
It looks like you managed to get it to work?
Or do you still need help?
Hi Ove
I'm back again, after upgrading my site to 4.7.1.1 (clean install, including nForum etc) I've reinstalled EyeCatch RSS 1.2 and the feeds aren't showing up again.
You can view the site at http://www.divabradford.org.uk/news/
RSS for the News section should therefore be at
http://www.divabradford.org.uk/news/rssfeed.aspx
but it's just showing an empty feed...
any clues please?
thanks
Rory
Hi,
I'm still having problems with feeds not showing up. Does anyone have any suggestions please?
thanks
Rory
Sorry for late reply.
Could you post your macro settings?
EDIT: When visiting the url you posted above, everything works fine. Did you change anything?
Hi again
I've (in the last half hour) managed to get it working. The problem was the "documentTypeAlias" in the template was set wrong. I had to make it set to documentTypeAlias="" then it gets all nodes.
Now the only trouble is it's listing (news) date folders in the whole site RSS feed:
http://www.divabradford.org.uk/rssfeed.aspx
I'm trying to edit the xslt to exclude them...
sorry, I meant it's listing nForum date folders...
Hi
I'll upload a new version today or tomorrow with a fix for this.
Thanks Ove, that's great.
cheers
Rory
Sorry for being late. Found some last-minute bugs that needed fixing.
The latest version now works with datefolders. I'm using it successfully on my site (http://www.eyecatch.no/blog/).
Hi Ove,
thanks for the work, and no worries with the delay. I've uninstalled version 1.2 and installed version 2.0 on my internal development server. However it doesn't appear to work.

Bah!
My bad. Seems i forgot to include the dll :P
Will fix ASAP :-)

There. Should be fixed now.
Hi Ove,
I'm having a display issue as well. Not really sure why, because it works on other pages I have. This is what I get: http://www.fdiworldental.org/media/news/communications/RSSfeed.aspx
Can you help?
