I have been trying to syndicate some modules to use in other places in the portal, but have not had success. I can successfully connect to any remote rss feed, such as moreover, slashdot, cnn, etc, but when I try to syndicate a module and then use the URL for it in another page on the portal I get the error:

Could Not Connect To http://url.net/DevPortal/RSS.aspx?tabid=157&moduleid=502. You Should Verify The Source Address Is Valid And That Your Hosting Provider Has Configured Their Proxy Server Settings Correctly.

Do you have to do anything different to syndicate a module? I am trying to syndicate the DNN repository module. I have chosen to syndicate it in the settings, and the url is working when I browse to it, but the second I put it into a news module, it throws the error??

I have a similar problem, and would like some help solving it... Or at least some help in getting closer to an answer...

I have downloaded and installed DNN4.3.4, and have used the downloadable 'Starter Kit' to install the project files, and associated items to allow VS2005 to 'create a new DNN site' at a remote site (localhost here)...

I have 'created' the DNN site at http://localhost, and all works fine. I've used the same 'Starter Kit' to create a couple of custom 'modules' - they're not fancy, and they seem to work just fine... EXCEPT...

When I visit the 'settings' for the module, I check the box that tells the module to be 'syndicated' and therefore display the 'XML' icon in the lower part of the container... I return to the normal view of the module, and there is NO XML icon... No 'Syndicate' in the 'Action' dropdown menu.

Since I have been unable to get the XML icon (syndication capability) working for my custom module, I decided to create another custom module, however, this time, I DIDN'T modify it at all, other than to get it installed... I check the 'syndicated' option in the settings, and STILL there is NO XML icon or syndication capability in my new, barebones module...

SO...

What do I need to do to the 'recently created, completely default' new module in order to get my new module capable of being syndicated via RSS???

Any help is GREATLY appreciated! I will also be MORE THAN GLAD to upload some of the code involved!

Three days later, I've located an answer...

To enable the RSS for my custom module, I needed to open the "DesktopModules" table in SQLServer, locate my DesktopModule, and set the 'SupportedFeatures' field to '3' instead of the '0' that was placed there when I installed it.

I have NO idea as to why this is the case...

I have NO idea as to what this field or it's values mean...

I ONLY know that this fixed it for me...

Hope this helps someone else somewhere...
