Hello Lee,

I tried to enable the allow syndicate in module option (ie. text/html module).

But the result is only the xml 'shell' comes out (look below)

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- <rss version="2.0" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">
- <channel>
  <title>ABC</title>
  <link>http://localhost/abc</link>
  <description>ABC</description>
  <language>en-US</language>
  <copyright>Copyright 2006 by Asia Group</copyright>
  <webMaster>admin@localhost.com</webMaster>
  </channel>
  </rss>

I am getting the same symptom.  Downloaded and listened to c2x241005_Enabling_RSS_Feeds_with_the_DNN_Core_Modules_5min_0secs.zip
but in the video Lee's XML has the ITEM tag and I do not (neither do you).

What is going wrong with us?

Hello,

Interesting, can you confirm for me, does this occur if you enable syndication in the announcements module?

I'm currently manic editing the videos for the release of issue 8 in the next day or so, so i will look into it in more detail when that is complete, but if you can let me know if the announcements module has the same problem, that will be a good start. -

Also, which version of DNN are you running?

Thanks,

Lee

Hi John,

Can you make sure you reply in the forum, rather than email me so that everyone can read and learn from your experiences, thanks.

John, "Working with the announcements modules exclusively to begin with. 
Updated the modules settings to allow syndication.  Have the XML button at the bottom of the module. Resulting XML has no item tags.
 
WOW, this is majorly strange.  I have been working with this for weeks with the same symptom and suddenly now it is working!  I have item tags in the XML for all the modules I allowed for.  Don't know what I did to make it work. 
 
Next questions:
Can I change the title tag in each module so that announcements from one module have a different title than another.  Your video says that I change the title in the site settings. But that would change it for all modules.  I guess I am looking for one feed for one module with one title, and another feed for another module with another title. 
 
I see your "Selection of RSS Feeds" section of your RSS page (http://www.dnncreative.com/Home/RSS...px).  But if I put those in my reader (JetBrains Omea) all the feeds have the same title in the reader (even though the content in the different feeds is different)."

I've got a feeling that it maybe something to do with the Search indexer that is scheduled to index the content of the site for the search box. - I think once the site has been indexed then all of the content will appear in your RSS feed. - Maybe worth checking that in the main forums, but I seem to recall that's how it works. - You can speed up the scheduler by going into the Host Menu / Schedule. - You will see Search Engine Scheduler set to 30mins - try changing this to 5mins and see if it indexes your content. - Remember to set it back to 30 mins though once you have finished.

- As an experiment try updating the announcements module and see if it appears in the RSS feed immediately. - If it doesn't try the search scheduler and see if that updates the RSS feed items.

I'm not too sure where you have picked up you can change a module title in the site settings, that is not correct.

The site setting title affects the Page title for the overall website if you do not add a title for each page.

A module title is set from the modules settings.

If you are looking to display each RSS feeds title within your RSS display, this will be down to the settings within your RSS reader. I've not come across JetBrains Omea so can't comment. - Is this a DNN module or a stand alone reader?

If you check this page, http://www.dnncreative.com/News/tab...fault.aspx

It displays a list of RSS feeds and you can see the title of each feed within each item - this is using the NukeFeeds module.

Hi Lee, yes all the modules (core and non core) can't show the xml with details, only shows the xml's "shell".

Hello,

Have you checked the search engine scheduler out?

I just had the same issue, empty xml output.

It was indeed the scheduler.

For the impatient you can force a re-index under the host --> search admin page.
