Introduction

This is an RSS feed to generate the latest postings for a Microsoft Content Management Server web site.

A C# version of the feed is available here.

Configuration

1. Update the title, link, and the description fields in LatestPostingsRSS.ascx to fit your site.
2. There are two properties in LatestPostingsRSS.ascx:
   • StartChannelPath: Show new postings under this top channel path only.
   • NumDaysOfLatestNews: Show new postings within the last n days.
3. Create an ASPX page. Delete all HTML tags. Insert LatestPostingsRSS.ascx. For example:
   ASP.NET

   <%@ Page ContentType="text/xml" %>
   <%@ Register TagPrefix="uc1" TagName="LatestPostingsRSS" 
                  Src="~/UserControls/LatestPostingsRSS.ascx" %>
   <uc1:LatestPostingsRSS id="LatestPostingsRSS" 
     StartChannelPath="/Channels/WoodgroveNet" 
     NumDaysOfLatestNews="7" runat="server">
   </uc1:LatestPostingsRSS>

Notes

1. The item description is fed from the posting Description field. You can modify it to use other posting properties like content from a common placeholder, for example.
