Gary, Janra is right. As I wrote before (off list), here is how we have our RSS op setup: Op: rss Template: [use a template that only consists of |content|] Function: rdf_gen Function is a box: checked Enabled: checked OP Aliases: rss1 Chris -----Original Message----- From: scoop-help-bounces at lists.kuro5hin.org [mailto:scoop-help-bounces at lists.kuro5hin.org] On Behalf Of janra at write-on.org Sent: Wednesday, May 03, 2006 3:58 PM To: Gary Brown Cc: scoop-help at lists.kuro5hin.org Subject: Re: [Scoop-help] Re: Help with RSS Feed I think I know what's going on... The old RDF system created a static file via cron. I haven't looked closely at the box grist.org is using, but based on a quick glance around the grist.org site, it looks like that box is not intended to run as a cron at all. Since you mention the entire contents of the feed is displayed in an ugly red font, that tells me the box has the rss feed as its output - cron boxes have *no* output except error messages. What you need to do is attach that box to an op, instead of a cron. You'll probably want to check with the grist.org folks for the settings you need, but you'll be creating the op 'rss', telling it to use the box as its function (and that it is a box), at minimum. Hope this gets you sorted out! -janra On 1-May-06, at 10:07 AM, Gary Brown wrote: > The box saves fine. Is a Box is checked.
