5.4 Custom RSS Feeds
Using misc/cronjobs/rss/rss.pl you can generate an RSS feed for any SQL query (for example a new acquisitions RSS feed). rss.pl is run on the command line to produce an RSS XML document.
The output should be placed in a directory accessible to the OPAC (or staff) web interface so that users can download the RSS feed.
An example of usage can be found at: misc/cronjobs/rss.pl lastAcquired.conf
Normally rss.pl should be run periodically (e.g., daily) to keep the feed up-to-date.
The configuration file (e.g., lastAcquired.conf) lists
-
name of the template file to use
-
path of output file
-
SQL query
rss.pl runs the SQL query, then feeds the output of the query through the template to produce the output file.
To use custom RSS feeds you need to turn on the rss.pl cron job.
