RSS For Categories
Is is possible to make individual RSS feeds for each category? I looked in the documentation and I see you can alter the main RSS feed or can you make multiple feeds?
Thanks! |

If you have looked at the documentation and you say that you can see that you can alter the main RSS feed, then I'm not really sure I'm following your question. Perhaps you don't understand exactly how you use the RSS feed. Perhaps reading my blog article on using the RSS feed is just what you need.

My unfamiliarity with RSS in regards to this script lies with the fact that I don't know if I can create multiple RSS feeds, one for each of categories I have. If so, then I can put a feed icon next to each category to allow my users to subscribe to each new listing in each category.
I was not sure if the script only supported one feed, or if I could create multiple feeds. Thanks! |

external.php is a script that quesries the database and builds the feed at the time its requested.
With that in mind all thats needed to limit the feed to a specific category is to pass to the external/php script a category slug it can use in the database query. I have not looked at the latest external.php file but when you create an rss icon you are creating a link to the external.php file, add to the URL for the link the value of the category and then it will be availabelf or the script to use to limit content of feed. |
