RSS feed by keyword/search term instead of category Can't Post
I have several rss feeds setup in article manager for each of my main categories. Is it possible to create a feed based on one topic or search term which could be found in several of the categories?

Hi there,

You could definitely create some sort of search query, although this will hit your search.cgi each time, so we recommend using it somewhat sparingly -- having thousands of users hitting your search engine at once constantly will cause fairly heavy server usage.

To do this, you can add the following to your search query to format it:

&template=articleLists/globalRSS.xml

This will use the default RSS template to display your results. So, if your regular query was like this:

yoursite.com/path/to/search.cgi?action=search&keyword=elephants


...to have that viewed with the globalRSS template, it would be:

yoursite.com/path/to/search.cgi?action=search&keyword=elephants&template=articleLists/globalRSS.xml

I hope this helps!

Donna
