Hello DotNetNuke fellas,

I have a question how do we implement syndication/rss to a custom module, so we can make the rss button appear and when we click it, the content of our custom module will be in the xml format.

Please help...

 

Thanks

you need to add a reference to the optional IPortable interface in your module, and add implementations of the exportmodule and importmodule subs. Take a read of the DotNetNuke Module Developers Guide.pdf doc in the documentation download it covers this on pages 52-53 (also look at the core modules, they'll give you a good idea on how to do it - examine the *controller.vb files)

Hi Cathal,

If I add implementations of export and import, can my module also able to use "allow syndication" (xml icon)?

Do I need to add implementation of ISearchable?

One more question, I also have problem when I enabled allow syndication for some of the core modules.
The XML Icon show in the presentation UI but when I click it, it only give me the 'shell' of xml without the content. (there is a content i.e. events module)

Thank you,

Jimmy

Jimmy, sorry for the earlier post, I misread the question (late at night when I answered it). RSS syndication relies on the module implementing the optional Entities.Modules.ISearchable interfact, and providing an implementation of the GetSearchItems function.

The output generated for rss feeds, checks that content is active (within the start and end dates), and that it is also visible to authorised users e.g. if you've events that can only be seen by administrators, then they will not be available to anonymous users using newsreaders.
