Yes.

Create a Resource with a Content Type of RSS, and this content:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
<channel>
    <title>MY TITLE HERE</title>
    <link>[[++site_url]][[~[[*id]]]]</link>
    <description>[[*description:cdata]]</description>
    <language>en</language>
    <copyright>Copyright 2010 by MY NAME HERE. All Rights Reserved.</copyright>
    <ttl>120</ttl>
    <atom:link href="[[++site_url]][[~[[*id]]]]" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" />
     
     [[!getResources?
  &parents=`IDS OF RESOURCES HERE`
  &tpl=`rssItem`
  &limit=`10`
  &includeContent=`1`
  &includeTVs=`1`
  &showHidden=`0`
  &hideContainers=`1`
]]

</channel>
</rss>

And use a chunk called ’rssItem’ for the tpl with this content:

<item>
    <title>[[+pagetitle]]</title>
    <link>[[++site_url]][[~[[+id]]]]</link>
    <description>[[+introtext:cdata]]</description>
    <pubDate>[[+publishedon:strtotime:date=`%a, %e %b %Y %H:%M:%S %z`]]</pubDate>
    <guid>[[++site_url]][[~[[+id]]]]</guid> 
    <author>[[+createdby:userinfo=`email`]] ([[+createdby:userinfo=`fullname`]])</author>
    <category>[[+tv.tags]]</category>
</item>

tnx, got it to work

but maybe good to know for others:

put

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
<channel>

[[*content]]

</channel>
</rss>

in a new template (RSS) and the remainder in the Resource with a Content Type of RSS

You may want to look into this one as it notes fixes for cdata and such: http://modx360.com/blog/2010/02/getresources-rss-feed.html

Note also there’s a :cdata output filter built into Revo, that you can use to wrap a tag’s output with CDATA tags, such as [[+content:cdata]].

Hum.... So we can take [[+introtext:toCDATA]] and make it [[+introtext:cdata]]. Super! Now if only there was a URL Encoding function....

Actually, there is...the documentation doesn’t list all the filters. I need to update it.

[[+string:urlencode]]

[[+anencodedstring:urldecode]]

You can see all the filters in the code here, for now: http://github.com/modxcms/revolution/blob/master/core/model/modx/filters/modoutputfilter.class.php

... I was looking for that last night and found it hard to believe that wasn’t included... Well looks like you’ve shaken up my world again! Back to fun and games

hi, i’m using the above-mentioned solution to provide rss-feeds.

i wondered, why safari didn’t render the rss-icon in the adress-bar, although there was a link directing to the rss-document within the page.

then i checked the rss-resource in the manager and found, that it displayed content-type "html", although i clearly saved the resource with content type rss.

searched jira, found http://bugs.modx.com/browse/MODX-2097.

seems to be a similar issue.

nevertheless, when i click the http://site.com/site.rss-link within a page, i get successfully directed to a feed:// page.

So if you reload the edit page on the Resource, does it still show your RSS content type or HTML?
