Module Topics: Rss

[avitaly]

I cannot get a RSS feed for the module Topics: when calling it with "http://www.mysite.eu/modules/topics/rss.php" or  "http://www.mysite.eu/modules/topics/rss.php?page_id=3" I get the message "Cannot access this file directly".

What's the url of rss feeds?

Thank you in advance!

PS: I know there is a thread about it, but it is in German and refers to podcasts. I really couldn't understand the point! ))

As far as I understand from the German discussions the RSS function of Topics is just a relic from the News module, and not ready to use. You should do a lot of custom coing to get it to work. So maybe you can use of of those online RSS creators, that allow you to create RSS feeds from any structured webpage. A quick Google led me to http://www.tothepc.com/archives/how-to-create-rss-feed-of-your-favorite-website for example, where a few of those servcies are mentioned, but there must be more.

... well, if it is so, I think I will use the news module. Do you know how to prevent it to update rss afterhaving edited a post (i.e. for ortographic mistakes)? the news module change the date of the post!

The rss.php of Topics isnt a relic, it works different to the rss.php of the news module.

But I fear I have made a little mistake in one of the last versions of Topics, the rss doest work if you have a fresh installation.

So it is not possible to use it at all?

the topics-rss works different, because you can have different kinds of sorting, even different kinds of usage of Topics. the rss-feed should have the same sorting and usage.
And there is another reason, I dont talk too much about

I am working on Topics 0.5; then it will work (again)
