This tutorial will show you how to create an RSS feed based on any Content Type you have using the Views module.

So you want to create an RSS feed from, let's say, your Articles Content Type. Nothing easier. All you need to do is create a View – so make sure you have the Views module installed.

Now go to Structure – Views – Add new view. Give it a view name and select Show Content of the type Articles and uncheck the box Create a page. Then click Continue and edit.

Next to where it says Master, click on the +Add button. Select Feed and you can start editing the View details. It is quite easy to make the general customizations and you can always see the preview of your result at the bottom of the page.

What is however important is the Path. So go under Feed Settings and give your feed a path name. Now you can already click Save and test your page. Go to http://www.example.com/your-rss-feed-path and see if it works.

Now, if you want to customize the output of the feed, just go back and edit your view. An important setting you’ll find under Format where you can select to show Content with various display types (teaser, full content etc).

Hope this helps.

Multiple Rss Link

Hi,

Can you help me to create multiple Rss links based on URL
Example:
Site URL1: www.mysite.com/blogs RSS URL1: www.mysite.com/blogs/feeds
Site URL2: www.mysite.com/news RSS URL2: www.mysite.com/news/feeds

I have a Widget which shows Twitter, FB, Linkedin and RSS icons in all pages. When i click RSS icon from my blog page it should go to RSS URL1. similarly when i click RSS icon from my news page it should go to RSS URL2. But my RSS syndication in social media has only one textfield for RSS syndication. Is there a way to alter/generate multiple rss links based on url. Please help me to create multiple RSS links based on URL.

Regards,
Pravinkumar
