How Do I?
3 years ago
Hi all. Can you help me on that? I wish to create a RSS feed with, title - {title} some text - {summary} and photo - {photo}.
It seems that I didn’t manage it.
Any help will be much appreciated.

Jostar. It’s fairly easy using the 1st party RSS addon. See the docs here: https://docs.expressionengine.com/latest/add-ons/rss.html#sample-rss-and-atom-templates Essentially it will look something like this:
{preload_replace:master_channel_name="default_site"}
{exp:rss:feed channel="{master_channel_name}"}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="{encoding}"?>
<rss version="2.0"
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"

Jostar.
Do you have any more information you can provide? Screenshots, your template code, public links, etc?
Also, few more questions for you:
- How are you verifying that it’s not working?
- Have you tried navigating directly to the feed’s URL?
- do you have debugging turned on and ensuring that the correct template is used when going to that URL?
