I have created a xml file that I want to change into and rss feed and
then parse it so it looks anyother rss feed. The file takes data from my
database but I am at a loss on how to get this to an rss feed, can
anyone help?
view
xml.instruct! :xml, :version=>"1.0"
xml.product_record do
@products.each do |p|
xml.itemtype(p.item_type)
xml.itemname(p.item_name)
xml.description(p.description)
xml.sellername(p.seller_name)
xml.selleremail(p.seller_email)
end
end
controller
class InfoController < ApplicationController
def prodlist
@products = Product.find(:all, :order=> "item_name")
render :layout => false
end
end
xml.rss "version" => "2.0", "xmlns:dc" => "http://purl.org/dc/elements/
1.1/" do
xml.channel do
@products.each do |p|
xml.title(p.item_name)
xml.link(url_for :only_path => false, :controller => 'products')
xml.description(p.description)
end
end
end
xml.rss "version" => "2.0", "xmlns:dc" => "http://purl.org/dc/elements/
1.1/" do
xml.channel do
@products.each do |p|
xml.title(p.item_name)
xml.link(url_for :only_path => false, :controller => 'products')
xml.description(p.description)
end
end
end
That'd get you the basics. Is that all you need?

That works really well, not sure why it only shows one item will have to
figure taht out but definatly a great starting point thanks.
Ok I tried ro find out whats wrong by validating the rss feed and it
complains that there are too many titles and such. I believe this could
be the problem as to why is not showing all the products but im at quite
a loss can anyone help?
source code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/
1.1/">

I believe you are missing <item></item> tags. You need to wrap each
product as an item grouping. For examples of a working RSS feed I
suggest you pull your favorite source and have a look inside.
