Hi all,

How do I add my Gallery RSS feed to my Mambo so that Mambo gets feeds from my Gallery and people would only have to join my Mambo RSS to get my image feeds???

Truly appreciated.

Can you go into more detail about how you propose the content would be interspersed? I'll see what I can come up with

Issues:
Would the title/link/description be mambo's, and not gallery?

Would the gallery items come AFTER the mambo items? or be cronologically interspersed?

Are you using any Mambo SEF URL hacks?

Should the item limit count both mambo articles AND gallery items? should each have their own limits?

Hi, thanks for your offer, here are my answers as best as I can do! :P (new to cms and rss...)

- Mambo's descriptions are fine. Basically i want to have just one feed from my website, which is Mambo CMS, but also to include contents that I have in my Gallery albums.

- interspersed.

- ??? sorry, don't understand this question! :o

- both Mambo and Gallery articles (as they should really be just the one content feed) I'm trying to make only one feed with my Mambo and Gallery feeds.

Thanks! :D

Just to add, I do have my SEF turned on in the Mambo Global Config. area. Dynamic Page Titles is also turned on.

Any help?

The answer is that you can't. Gallery's embedding isn't designed in such a way where it's possible. To get the rss links to show up embedded, you need to view the RSS page embedded. The problem is that Gallery only controls the content inside the page, which means that the XML will show up as part of Mambo.

Since it's inside Mambo, it's not valid XML. That means an RSS reader won't read it.
