RSS Feeds

68 Classifieds comes with a file named external.php that will create an RSS feed of your listings. The external file also allows different parameters to be passed to it, which allows you to customize which listings are included in the feed.

For example if you want to show new listings that are priced between 1500 and 2500 you would use this URL: http://www.yoursite.com/external.php?type=new&minprice=1500&maxprice=2500
