I need a step by step instruction on how to set up an rss feed from my "website baker" website.

There seems to be nothing in the official documentation and I don't understand the discussion in the threads

There is no need for any "setting up" ... you just create a page of type news and then the feed is available for this newspage.

Then let me re-phrase that, "How the heck do I use it??"

What do you want to use it for?

You call it by putting the URL into your browser. Example:

http://www.fischertechnik-sammler.de/modules/news/rss.php?page_id=4

Important is the page id which should be the id of the page with the news.

Hello!

One further remark to kweitzel:
The page id is being shown when you edit the page at the admin -> pages:
Code:
admin/pages/modify.php?page_id=33

There "33" is it of course.

That people can see it, you should create a WYSIWYG page on your newspage and create a source code like
Code:
<p><img class="" height="16" alt="" width="16" src="http://www.domain.xy/media/feed-icon.gif" />&nbsp;<a href="http://www.domain.xy/modules/news/rss.php?page_id=33"><font color="#0000ff">The RSS feed is here</font></a></p>

Thanks, that's helped.
I can get a feed off the website.

Has there been an update to the rss.php.
My version is: // $Id: rss.php 310 2006-02-19 05:31:10Z ryan $

When I validate the feed, it is valid but there are a number of suggested changes to the output.

Hello!

Which WB version do you use? I think you don't have the latest 2.6.7, where quite much in the rss.php has changed as far as I know. I would recommend to update it.

OK, so far RSS Feed works instantly.

But I would like to have the usual RSS-Feed-Button inside the Browsers URL window, next to the website's URL (as e.g. at http://www.technikwuerze.de/).
How can I achieve this with WB?

EDIT:
I found all the answers myself smiley
Just add the following code (customize the URL!) to your template's head section:
Code:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"
   title="RSS" href="http://www.yourdomain.de/modules/news/rss.php?page_id=30" />


Regards,
Ayshe

I might need a hand with this one. I have WB 2.6.7 on http://www.davidmcnairnblackbeltacademy.co.uk/  and am trying to pull off the RSS feed from the news page. I have the URL as

http://www.davidmcnairnblackbeltacademy.co.uk/modules/news/rss.php?page_id=6

But I get this error:

Constant PAGE_ID already defined in /home/fhlinux153/d/davidmcnairnblackbeltacademy.co.uk/user/htdocs/framework/class.frontend.php on line 141

Any ideas?

James.
