[Zope] rss compliant blog

28 Oct 2003

      We have a blog (similar to the guest book idea) Users post, It creating dtml
documents and the index page iterates through them to give a 'visual'
output.
We'd like this to be rss compliant and use an internal aggregator so we've
written the following xml page to go with it :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
 <rss version="2.0">

   <channel>
     <title>KFPL on Zope</title>
     <link>http://192.168.10.73/kfplsite</link>
     <description>Kingston Frontenac Public Library Site</description>
     <language>en-us</language>

    <dtml-in expr="objectValues('DTML
Document')"sort="bobobase_modification_time" reverse>

       </description>
     </item>
   </dtml-in>

  </channel>
 </rss>

To me this seems right but the aggregator seems to be having trouble with
it. have I missed something?
