First of all forgive me if this turns out to be a very simple question, I am still quite new to Umbraco.
I seem to be having a spot of bother using the RSS package downloaded from the Umbraco package repository.
With it I am able to create an RSS feed but do not seem to be able to encourage it to pull any data the selected nodes.
Is there something obvious I'm missing besides creating a new RSS feed in the settings panel?

Hi, No, no additional settings required to get the rss feed up and running? Mind sharing some info on how things have been set up? Looking forward to your info. Regards, /Dirk

Just to be sure... you really do have some content below the 'CAD Home Page' of document type 'CAD Article' that have the umbracoNaviHide property set to false? And the 'CAD Article' doctype does have a property named Content, and there is some text in that property? What if you create a new page? Does that new page appear? cheers, doug.

Doug,
Yes we have all of the above.
Below the CAD home is are CAD Article doctypes and in that doctype who are set to umbracoNaviHide no do have a have a richtext field called content.
I have been paticularly puzzled by this problem and it's the last bug affecting the site.
We have been publishing new pages for the last month and none have been published to the RSS feed.
The only other thing that is unusual about our setup is that we are using a single instilation of Umbraco to host a 6 different websites.

I think having multiple websites in one umbraco installation may be the culprit. It isn't a problem for umbraco, but I believe it is a problem for the rss package as I recall. I ran into a similar problem on an installation with multiple sites. I don't recall the specifics as it was some time ago, but I seem to remember that the package assumed there was only one site/domain/hostname in the umbraco installation and didn't handle multi-site/domain/hostname properly. If I get a chance I'll see if I can dig up that old development site and refresh my memory. Can anyone confirm or deny if the RSS package works properly with an umbraco installation that has multiple sites in it? cheers, doug.

Dont' know why I didn't think of this before, but you could create your RSS feed(s) entirely with XSLT. Niels just added a sample xslt template to umbraco v4. You can find it in the source at http://www.codeplex.com/umbraco/SourceControl/changeset/view/44936. Just navigate to: Umbraco 4.0 > umbraco > presentation > umbraco > xslt > templates. cheers, doug.
