hi,

i need to generate and display an rss feed for items from all individual k2 categories.

there were several threads in the archived forum suggesting creating a super-category and creating a menu item for it, but that's not feasible for me. i have a super-category and it has RSS feeds enabled, but i can't have this super category displayed anywhere on the site.

there has to be a way for me to have an rss feed from all the categories -- it seems like a very basic thing to have -- syndicate all content -- that sort of thing.

please let me know how i can achieve this! i'll really appreciate your help.

Are you trying to generate RSS for all items regardless of whether they are new or not? If so, I'm not sure what is the difference between doing this and exposing the items in your super category....

eyal, thanks for your reply -- unfortunately, i do not understand what you mean by it. i want to know how to get the link to an RSS feed for K2 items from all categories -- you say something about exposing the super-category, but I don't know how to expose it when it is nowhere on the page. that was my initial question.

i do not have a menu item for super-category. but i want to have an RSS link on the home page, where users can subscribe to all the K2 items, whereas they can subscribe to individual categories, on the respective category pages.

many thanks in advance for your help.

ok, so you may want to try this:

1. Create a new menu item and select the following type from the K2 Group: "Latest items from (one or more) users or categories"

2. Under content Source, select Categories.

3. Under "Category Setting" select all the categories you want to include

3.1 - Make sure RSS Feed Icon is set to show

4. Set the rest of the properties as you need

5. Temporarily, publish the new menu

6. Launch browser and click on the new menu

7. Click on the RSS icon and that is your URL for the RSS feed. You can copy the button to your home page or create your own button and assign it with this url.

8. You may want to un-publish the menu you created.

I hope this helps

Hi Eyal :)

- I use K2 2.5.4 and Rss is not working.
- I followed your instructions
- RSS Feed Icon is set to show

Rss link the same html page. it just adds .feed at the end.

Do you have any suggestions? :)

Thanks :)

Sorry... I am out of ideas...

and to be honest... I am pretty frustrated myself with the support on this forum which is close to none... I'm considering getting rid of K2 and just do the best I can with the basic Joomla platform...

I hope you can find a solution.
