I'm desperate .... I would like to install a feed for my gallery - a simple one with just one for my whole gallery. Installation of the module is no problem, but ...
I try to find the topic where i can add a new Feed ... in the description it says that you have to choose the topic in tehe acion menu of the album ... but there is none ...
What am I doing wrong? Maybe it depends on the rights of the files on the server...
Even if I searched with google all forums i couldn't find a solution .. is anyone there to help me? Pleeeeeeeze..

Ich bin sehr verzweifelt .. ich würde gern ein RSS Feed installieren - ganz einfach eins für die gesamte Galerie. Installieren klappt wunderbar, aber dann ..
Ich finde nicht den Punkt wo man ein Feed erstellt ... die Anleitung zum Modul ist da irgendwie ungenau... ich habe auch keinen Menupunkt im Albummenu ... Es steht im Album " RSS-Feeds Es wurden noch keine Feeds erstellt"

Was mache ich falsch? Liegt es an den Ordner-Rechten auf dem Server?
Ich habe auch schon viel gesucht, aber keine Lösung gefunden. Kann mir bitte jemand helfen ... ?

The RSS module provides two sorts of feeds - a custom one and a simple feed.

Once the module is installed, in the Site Admin view, you should have an item in the sidebar under the 'Export' section called RSS. You can configure the global options here.

As an admin, each album should have two actions:

'Configure RSS feeds'
'RSS Feeds for this album'

The second one (on mine) takes you to the simple RSS feed.

BTW if you are using the URL rewrite module, the RSS module adds additional options in there if you want make the urls readable.

If you want to enable RSS auto-discovery, you'll need to edit your theme and add in a couple of lines to the theme.tpl somewhere within the <head> section of the html:

    {if $theme.pageType == 'album'}

	    {* Include RSS links *}
	    <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="{$theme.item.title}" href="{g->url arg1="view=rss.SimpleRender" 
						arg2="itemId=`$theme.item.id`"
						forceFullUrl=true}" />

    {elseif $theme.pageType == 'photo'}

	    {* Include RSS links *}
	    <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="{$theme.item.title}" href="{g->url arg1="view=rss.SimpleRender" 
						arg2="itemId=`$theme.item.id`"
						forceFullUrl=true}" />
    {/if}

It may help if you post the URL and the exact version of your gallery too:
