---++ How to Find out What's New? There are three ways to find out what's new in each TWiki web: 1. WebChanges shows recent changes 1. People subscribed in WebNotify get notified of recent changes by e-mail 1. A news feed can be exported in RSS 1.0 format for TWiki:Codev/TWikiSyndication. RSS news readers like TWiki:Plugins/HeadlinesPlugin can display the recent changes ---++ RSS Feed Usage * The URL for an RSS feed is =%SCRIPTURL%/view%SCRIPTSUFFIX%/<web>/WebRss?skin=rss= * For this %WEB% web it is %SCRIPTURL%/view%SCRIPTSUFFIX%/%WEB%/WebRss?skin=rss (or %SCRIPTURL%/view%SCRIPTSUFFIX%/Main/WebRss?skin=rss&contenttype=text/plain for plain text RSS) * You can also create a custom feed based on a search. Add a =search=value= parameter to the URL, e.g. %SCRIPTURL%/view%SCRIPTSUFFIX%/%WEB%/WebRss?skin=rss&search=plugin is a what's new feed about Plugins. ---++ RSS Feed Internals Each web has a WebRss topic which includes part of this %TOPIC% topic. This topic is the base for the RSS feed and generates an RSS 1.0 feed for TWiki:Codev/TWikiSyndication. The WebRss topic in each web contains the following text: ----- %WIKITOOLNAME%'s %INCLUDINGWEB% web %SCRIPTURL%/view%SCRIPTSUFFIX%/%INCLUDINGWEB% (the description of the web). TWiki is a Web-Based Collaboration Platform for the Corporate World. %INCLUDE{"%TWIKIWEB%.WebRssBase"}% ----- Below part is included by each WebRss topic: %STARTINCLUDE% en-us %WEBRSSCOPYRIGHT% %WIKIWEBMASTERNAME% [%WIKIWEBMASTER%] %WIKIWEBMASTERNAME% [%WIKIWEBMASTER%] %WIKITOOLNAME% TWiki.%INCLUDINGWEB% %SEARCH{"%URLPARAM{"search" default=".*" }%" web="%INCLUDINGWEB%" regex="on" nosearch="on" order="modified" reverse="on" nototal="on" limit="16" format=" "}% %WIKILOGOALT%.%INCLUDINGWEB% %SCRIPTURL%/view%SCRIPTSUFFIX%/%INCLUDINGWEB% %WIKILOGOIMG% %SEARCH{"%URLPARAM{"search" default=".*" }%" web="%INCLUDINGWEB%" regex="on" nosearch="on" order="modified" reverse="on" nototal="on" limit="16" format="$n $topic$n %SCRIPTURL%/view%SCRIPTSUFFIX%/$web/$topic?t=$isodate$n $summary (last changed by $wikiname)$n $isodate$n $n $n $username$n $n $n $rev$n updated$n major$n %SCRIPTURL%/rdiff%SCRIPTSUFFIX%/$web/$topic$n %SCRIPTURL%/rdiff%SCRIPTSUFFIX%/$web/$topic$n"}% %STOPINCLUDE% __See also__: TWiki:Codev/RichSiteSummary, TWiki:Codev/TWikiSyndication -- TWiki:Main.PeterThoeny - 02 Sep 2003
