Can I check to see if a publish rule has something published for it? Can't Post
I am publishing rss feeds, but not for all categories. In my template, is there a direct way to check the publish rule settings to see if that category should include a link to the rss feed?

If I just use $published.rss.url$, it makes an error on pages that have no feed.

I will create a checkbox to use for each category if necessary, but I want to make sure there's not a more direct way before I do that.

Hi,

Creating a category checkbox to select the option to publish the category RSS feed link is the way to go. There isn't a way via the templates to check the publish rule settings for this.

After you create a category checkbox, add a templateif statement to your categoryIndex.html template.

For example, if you create a category checkbox with the placeholder name "addRsslink", here would be the example code to add to your template:

<!-- templateIf : $category.addRsslink$ eq "Yes" -->
<br>
<span class="webfeed"><a href="$published.rss.url$">
<img src="$_weburl$images/webfeed.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" align="right"></a>
<a href="$published.rss.url$">$category.name$ Feed</a>
</span>
<!-- /templateIf -->

I hope that helps. I you need any more details just let us know.
