I have
rssfeed.php?type=links&number=50&field=rating&ascdesc=ascending&thecondition=catid !=8 AND catid !=9

in my HTML. But this isn't a valid xml/rss feed url. How can I make that something like mytoplist.xml ?

Thanks
David

In my experience any URL works for a feed. Nonetheless you can click 'static generation' in your admin panel or make an .htaccess line.

if using an .htaccess line, how would I format that?

Alias /rssfeed.php?type=links&number=50&field=time&ascdesc=descending&thecondition=catid=8/ /toplist.xml

OR

Alias /rssfeed.php?type=links&number=50&field=time&ascdesc=descending&thecondition=catid=8 /toplist.xml

???

Thx
David

Alias /rssfeed.php?type=links&number=50&field=time&ascdesc=descending&thecondition=catid=8 /a.xml

That didn't work. Any thoughts? I know I am missing something very simple here, but since I don't know too much about Apache, can't figure it out.

Thx
David

Try the following:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase  /wsnlinks
RewriteRule ^toplist.xml$ rssfeed.php?type=links&number=50&field=time&ascdesc=descend ing&thecondition=catid=8


make sure RewriteBase is the path of your wsnlinks folder. Works for me.

Hmm... what am I missing here?

Whenever I create an .htaccess file, I get an Internal Server Error on the site at all times.

I don't really want to enable the Rewrite for the whole site (slow down), just these rss feeds to have a normal url. Isn't there a way to enable the rewrite only for these feeds but keep the site functioning the way it is supposed to normally through the index.php ?

Thanks
David

I'm not a ReWrite pro, but as far as I understand you're not rewriting the whole site - just try and see if it slows down anything. Don't turn mod_rewrite on in your directory setting.
