RSS Admin

Clicking the RSS icon on the Admin Panel (See Tiki Config ), takes you to the RSS settings.

Configure RSS Feeds

This panel can be used to control the RSS feeds that Tiki generates on-the-fly as they are requested. RSS feeds can be used to syndicate different aspects of your Tiki web site to other web sites. In this panel you can enable/disable feeds and you can control the maximum number of items that will be generated for each feed.

• Switch a single feed on/off
• Set number of entries for each feed
• Language tag for RDF output (eg en-us, de-de ...)
• Publisher (RDF 1.0 only)
• Creator (RDF 1.0 only)
• Editor (RDF 2.0 only)
• Webmaster (RDF 2.0 only)

For file galleries, we can specify multiple galleries

Permissions

On some sites, objects shown in a feed need authentication. The setting 'RSS basic Authentication' can be used to allow a local authentication for the feed.

With this setting, you can use an url where you give your login password to access such rss

http://joe:password@localhost/tiki/tiki-calendars_rss.php?ver=2

tw >=5.0
For rss readers that do not accept the above syntax, you can use

http://localhost/tiki/tiki-calendars_rss.php?ver=2&user=joe&pass=password

Otherwise with this setting and if no login information is provided , a login popup will be displayed. This will log you in tikiwiki.
Warning: For this last case, as it is an http authentication, if the user logs out from tikiwiki, il will not be logged from the feed view until he closes his browser or window.
