[TYPO3-english] enabling RSS feed with tx_news

[Brandon Walsh]

I am fairly new to TYPO3 and am having trouble following the instructions here:

https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/extensions/news/3.0.0/Main/Administration/Rss/Index.html

What I need to do is to create an RSS feed of the content currently being displayed by News plugin. As I am a new user of TYPO3, it is not clear to me where I need to put the code that's given in the RSS tutorial linked above. Your guidance would be much appreciated.

Okay, I added RSS configuration code to typo3conf/ext/news/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.txt and I am now generating the RSS feed. Now I am confused because it seems that the RSS feed is not being generated from the template news/Resources/Private/Templates/News/List.xml. Changes I make to that template do not show up in the feed (after flushing the cache, of course). Specifically, I am wondering how to fix this problem where all <link> elements in the RSS feed come out like this:

<link />/path/to/blog/post</link>

The opening <link> tag is always closed, like <link />. It is not written this way in the List.xml file, so I am wondering where this could be coming from. But as I said, no other changes I make to the List.xml file appear in the RSS feed. Please help!

you have to put

#
plugin.tx_news.settings.format = xml
#

into your typo3 - root - setup - template.

or chage the

plugin.tx_news.settings.format = html # to xml
