I have a Magazine Module where a person can create articles. Before saving the article, he can set the date on when it will be published, like today, a day from now or a month perhaps.
What I need now is to an updated XML file that will be used as RSS feed for my frequent reader.
There was 2 solution that I thought of.
The first was to create an ASPX page (localhost/dnn/RSS.aspx). Here's just a sample of code behind:
|
private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
Response.ContentType = "text/xml";
Response.ContentEncoding = Encoding.UTF8;
// check to see if a cached version exists
if (Cache["RssFeed"] == null )
{
string s1;
// code for filling the content of s1 is added here
Cache.Insert("RssFeed", s1, null, DateTime.Now.AddHours(1.5), TimeSpan.Zero);
}
Response.Write(Cache["RssFeed"].ToString());
Response.End();
}

This worked perfectly fine but I don't know if this will have DNN security issues. Will it?
Second solution was to create a DNN Module, where the code-behind will be similar like the one above. The problem with this is when I added the link of this page (localhost/dnn/rss/tabid/500/default.aspx) on a RSS reader, it says that it has incorrect format or not readable. When I check the source of the page, it has this:

it seems like that the DNN structure is added though I used the function Response.End().
I tried to use a skin where it will just have the div tag for Content Pane, but still it's still shows the DNN structure.
Neither creating an XML file manually, nor creating a module that will create an XML file automatically is an option. It's because the admin does not know exactly when there will be a newly published article and it'll be hassle if he'll always check the CMS for such.
With this, are there any solutions? If so, how?
Thanks in advance
