  I must be missing something but ... how do I activate the RSS feed for my site? I want people to know of my news update from my site. Is there a setting to this? I am using Zikula 1.1.1
  
  http://www.EarlyMusicNews.org
  
  I am not talking about activating RSS to feed into my site.
  
  Tnaks for any help.

  You might try
  index.php?module=News&func=view&theme=rss

  Yep, or /backend.php that does a redirect to exactly that URL But backend.php is only there for backwards compatibility.

  Thanks for the replies. Teb's suggestion works, however, I was wondering how I could get the RSS Feed icon to appear in the URL locator like I used to have on my old PostNuke site? I just don't seem to remember having to do anything else that checking a box in the old PostNuke.
  
  Any suggestions?

  Edit your Theme's master.htm (and all other module templates if they exist, like home.htm) and add the following code between HTML-brackets (< and >) to the head section:
  

  Code

  link rel="alternate" href="index.php?module=News&func=view&theme=rss" type="application/rss+xml" title="Your Site Name"

  
  where you can use the pnRender function
  <!--[sitename]-->
  for Your Site Name and you can uses
  <!--[pnmodurl modname="News" type="user" func="view" theme="rss"]-->
  for your RSS URL.

  Thanks for the answer Teb.
  
  I have no problem adding the HTML code but I am confused as to what to do with the pnRender fucntion part of your message. Where do I add this?
  
  I wish there were a more elegant way of adding RSS feed to Zikula sites. This makes it pretty complicated for newcomers to add as a feature to their site.

  so that the example:
  

  Code

  link rel = " alternate "  href = " index.php?module=News&func=view&theme=rss " type= " application/rss+xml " title= " Your Site Name "

  
  
  Looks like:
  

  Code

  link rel="alternate" href="<!--[pnmodurl modname="News" type="user" func="view" theme="rss" ]--> " type="application/rss+xml" title="<!--[sitename]-->"

  
  those are contained inside the standard < />

  Follow TakeIT2's instructions and you're OK. Allthough my first option already works, the pnRender-functions are optional and make your links dynamically generated from Zikula's settings. However, if you do not plan to change the site's title, or the News-module display-name, then these stay unaffected and my first hint works directly.
