Adding RSS Feed

From Aikiframework wiki

So you want an rss feed on your website? Its pretty simple with aiki.

• Create a widget with a name like feed
• set the address/url field to be feed
• In the select query field, select the data you want to display:

SELECT content.* FROM content, content_type WHERE content.type = content_type.id AND content.status = 2 ORDER BY content.id DESC

​

• In the Content field, display the content:

(noloop(<?xml version="1.0"?>
<rss version="2.0">
    <channel>
        <title>RSS Feed</title>
        <link>[root]/feed</link>
        (select DATE_FORMAT(NOW(), '%a, %e %b %Y %T') as rss_date||
        <lastBuildDate>[-[rss_date]-]</lastBuildDate>)
        )sql)
        <description>Articles</description>
)noloop)

        <item>
            <author>((author))</author>
            <title>((title))</title>
            <link>[root]/detail/((id))</link>
            <pubDate>((creation_date))</pubDate>
            <description>((content))</description>
        </item>
(noloop_bottom(
    </channel>
</rss>
)noloop_bottom)
​

• Set "Custom Output" field to Yes
• Set the "Send Custom http header" to:

Content-Type: application/xml;

• Now, access your feed at:

http://YOURAIKISITE.WHATEVER/feed

And you have a feed.

NOTE: This same technique works for outputting any type of content through aiki framework.
