Custom RSS Feeds?

[freshJet]

I want to make an RSS Feed for latest news. This is my code:

lib/rss/latestnews.rss

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><rss version="2.0">
<channel>
<title>Latest News</title>
<link>http://www.freshjetvirtual.com</link>
<description>All the latest news from freshJet</description>
<lastBuildDate>Thu, 10 Nov 2011 06:36:50 CST</lastBuildDate>
<language>en-us</language>
<item>
<title><?php echo PopUpNews::GetFieldValue($popupnews->subject);?></title>
<description><?php echo PopUpNews::GetFieldValue($popupnews->body);?></description>
<link>http://www.freshjetvirtual.com/index.php/PopUpNews/popupnewsitem/?itemid=<?php echo PopUpNews::GetFieldValue($popupnews->id);?></link>
<pubDate><?php echo PopUpNews::GetFieldValue($popupnews->postdate);?></pubDate>
<description></description>
</item>
</channel>
</rss>

It won't work. I've got a channel but no content. Does the PHP not work because it's external?

Your idea seems to be nice. Good Luck !

Look at how the default RSS feeds are made in the lib/rss folder and copy them.

[freshJet]

That's how I did it, but they show the actual output if you know what I mean - not the PHP codes.

Anyone else?

Take a look in the core/common/RSSFeed.class.php

[freshJet]

OK still not sure what it actually means though...

Has anyone actually got this working? I would quite like to know how to do it...

[freshJet]

No I'm still waiting

I think I see what's happening. The PHP in the RSSFeed.class.php works so that when you view the RSS files in lib/rss, they are shown in their output form. So it's impossible to know what the source code is to make a new one. Help!!!
